Effective September 3, 2026
These Terms govern your use of charlescounty.builtthis.ai, its registration and reservation-management tools, and your participation in Charles County Built This (together, the “Services”). The event is hosted by Voice of Indian Head and the United States Bomb Technician Association (USBTA). References to “we” or the “event team” mean the Charles County Built This organizers. By using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Registration and eligibility
- Attendance is free, but capacity is limited. A submission does not guarantee a confirmed seat; we may place attendees on a waitlist.
- You must provide accurate information and keep your reservation current. If you register other people, you confirm that you have permission to provide their information and communicate these Terms and the Privacy Policy to them.
- Adults may attend independently. The reservation owner must be an attending adult. Children in Kindergarten and up and teens under 18 may participate only when their parent or legal guardian is included in the reservation and attends with them. Children who are not yet in Kindergarten may not register for this session.
- A parent or legal guardian must provide continuous, active supervision for each attendee under 18 throughout the event, with no more than two minors registered per adult who will be present. This event is not childcare or a drop-off program. Ages 13–17 may use an AI tool hands-on when its provider permits use at that age and required guardian permission is in place. For ages 5–12, hands-on use is allowed only through a provider experience and account configuration that expressly supports supervised child access; otherwise, the adult operates the tool while the child participates.
- Keep your reservation password confidential. Tell us promptly if you believe someone has accessed your reservation without permission.
- We may refuse, cancel, or limit a registration when reasonably necessary for capacity, safety, legal compliance, site security, or violation of these Terms.
Event participation
Participants must treat attendees, volunteers, hosts, venue staff, and their property with respect. Harassment, discrimination, threats, disruption, unlawful conduct, unsafe behavior, or attempts to access another person’s device, account, or data are not permitted. Follow reasonable instructions from the event team and venue staff. We may remove anyone whose conduct threatens safety, interferes with the event, or violates these Terms.
Your device, accounts, and projects
You are responsible for bringing and securing your own device, charger, data, software, and AI account. The organizers do not provide loaner devices, AI subscriptions, or API keys. For a family team, the guardian must own or be authorized to use the device and AI account and remains responsible for account activity. Ages 13–17 may interact with an AI tool hands-on only when the provider permits it and required guardian permission is in place. For ages 5–12, hands-on use is allowed only through a provider experience and account configuration that expressly supports supervised child access; otherwise, the adult operates. Third-party tools are governed by their own current terms, age restrictions, consent requirements, and privacy policies, and the guardian is responsible for compliance and for deciding whether each tool is appropriate.
Do not enter confidential employer or customer information, health records, financial details, passwords, export-controlled information, personal data about others, or other sensitive material into an AI service or event project unless you are authorized to do so and understand the provider’s practices. Back up important data before the event.
Your project remains on your device and in your accounts. The event organizers do not claim ownership of what you build. You are responsible for ensuring your project and inputs do not infringe another person’s intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
Photos and recordings
This is a public community event. Photography or videography may occur and may be shared afterward. Organizers will manage event-team photography with special care to protect minors. You may request not to appear in organizer-managed photos through the RSVP accommodations field or by contacting us, and the event team will make reasonable efforts to honor the request. We cannot control photography by every attendee in a public setting.
Website use and content
You may use the website and downloadable event materials for personal, noncommercial participation in the event. Site text, graphics, branding, and materials remain the property of their respective owners. You may not disrupt the site, evade access controls or rate limits, probe for vulnerabilities, introduce malicious code, scrape personal information, impersonate another person, or use the Services unlawfully.
Event information and changes
We try to keep event information accurate, but schedules, speakers, venue arrangements, capacity, food, and activities may change. We may postpone, relocate, modify, or cancel the event when reasonably necessary. Because registration is free, there are no ticket refunds. You are responsible for your own travel, subscription, equipment, and other costs unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.
Educational purpose and third parties
The event and website provide general educational information, not legal, medical, financial, cybersecurity, employment, or other professional advice. AI output can be inaccurate or incomplete; review and test your work before relying on it. Links and references to third-party services are provided for convenience and do not make us responsible for their availability, content, security, terms, or privacy practices.
Disclaimers and limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. Participation and use of third-party tools are at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the event organizers, hosts, sponsors, volunteers, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, opportunities, or device access arising from the Services. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in a court with jurisdiction in Maryland, unless applicable law requires otherwise. If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
Changes and contact
We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new effective date. Your continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. Questions may be sent to events@builtthis.ai.
