All terms referring to 'you', 'participant,' 'teacher', and 'your' are references to you. All terms referring to 'we', 'us', 'our', 'TJP' and 'BTJ Advisor' are references to BridgeTEFLJobs.

In the case of circumstances "4" and "5," your job placement fee may be transferred one time to a future date/location.

If, after your full application has been submitted and your TEFL certification has been satisfactorily completed, BridgeTEFLJobs attains two paid EFL teaching offers for you, BridgeTEFLJobs will deem that all of our responsibilities to you have been met in full, will retain all fees paid, and will assume no further obligation to provide job placement services to you. Under no circumstances will BridgeTEFLJobs compensate you for travel to, from and within the foreign country in which the position is located, accommodations or any other expenses unrelated to the program.

By accepting a paid TEFL assignment, you become an employee of the hiring school and/or organization, and must comply with all work rules and practices as defined by that school. While BridgeTEFLJobs staff will work with you to locate and evaluate paid assignments, the final decision is between you and the hiring school. All contracts and agreements entered into between you and the school or hiring organization will be considered your responsibility and not that of BridgeTEFLJobs. At no time during your training or job placement will you be, or will you be considered, an employee of BridgeTEFLJobs, or Bridge-Linguatec, Inc. in the U.S.A.

The hiring overseas organization may be an employment agency that works with schools and private language institutes. These organizations may also be schools and/or private language institutes.

All BridgeTEFLJobs participants are subject to the standards of reasonable, professional behavior as exemplified and required by BridgeTEFLJobs staff and hiring schools. Violation of these standards can lead to termination from the service and job. You agree to abide by all restrictions, terms and conditions that may apply to your use of services provided by BridgeTEFLJobs.

While you are living and working in any foreign country, you are subject to all its local laws and ordinances. While BridgeTEFLJobs may lend informal advice or support in some fashion at our sole discretion, under no circumstance will we bear any legal or other obligation to any job placement participant who is found in violation of any local laws or ordinances.

It is the responsibility of the participant to obtain all necessary documentation to work/live within the country. Additionally, the participant is responsible for obtaining all documents necessary to enter and travel to and from chosen country. You are responsible for the cost of attaining any necessary visas, background checks, and police reports, if they are not provided by the school/institute.

You will be given a Prepare-to-Go document from BridgeTEFL prior to your departure. Please contact your physician to inquire about specific vaccines needed to enter/live in chosen country. You may also refer to this website: www.cdc.gov (Center for Disease Control).

If your institute or school does not provide housing in your offer package, it is your responsibility to obtain appropriate housing once in country. BridgeTEFLJobs will provide you with resources to aid in your housing search. These resources include, but are not limited to, websites for local housing listings and contact information of people on the ground who can help you during your job search.

I am voluntarily participating in a job placement program, with BridgeTEFLJobs/Bridge Linguatec, Inc. ("BL"). I acknowledge that travel to, from and within the foreign country in which the program is located, including at my chosen school, accommodations and any in-country excursions, have inherent risks and dangers that I may be exposed to and possibly harmed by. These include, but are not limited to, personal injuries, property damage, accidents involving motor vehicles, aircraft and other forms of transportation, sickness, diseases (including food, water or insect borne diseases that are not commonly encountered in the United States), riots, political instability, crime, acts of terrorism, detention by government authorities or individuals, burglary, assault, encounters with dangerous wildlife and other hazards. I acknowledge that as a participant in the program, I may travel to remote rural areas and will lodge and eat with the residents in those areas. As such, the accommodations, food and sanitary conditions may be below, or substantially below, the standard I am accustomed to in the United States. I also acknowledge that healthcare facilities, medical supplies and medical personnel on the program may be very limited and, if available at all, may be below or substantially below U.S. standards.

I acknowledge that travel to, from and within the foreign country in which the program is located, including at my chosen school, accommodations and any in-country excursions are my financial responsibility.

I understand that BL has contracted with independent local organizations, outfitters, suppliers and vendors for the provision of certain aspects of the program, including, accommodations, food and excursions ("Vendors"), and that BL does not own or operate any of these Vendors. While BL has used its best efforts to select reliable and safe Vendors, BL is not responsible for any negligent or willful act or omission of a Vendor or other third party, and I hereby release BL from all claims arising out of, or related to, the willful or negligent acts or omissions of these Vendors.

I represent to BL that, to the best of my knowledge, I am in good mental and physical health. I am voluntarily participating in the program, with knowledge of the risks and dangers involved. I expressly accept and assume all known and unknown risks on behalf of myself.

In exchange, and in consideration for participation in the program, I hereby release BL and its employees, agents, volunteers, officers, directors and representatives (each, a "Releasee") from any and all injuries, deaths, losses, liabilities, damages, claims, actions, suits and judgments whatsoever including costs, expenses and attorney fees (collectively, "Claims") that I may have now or in the future, directly or indirectly, arising from, connected with or related to my participation in the program, including with respect to the attached medical durable power of attorney, whether caused by any Releasee or some other person or cause. I agree that I will not, at any time, directly or indirectly, on behalf of myself, my child and my heirs, commence or prosecute any action, suit or other proceeding against any Releasee arising from, connected with or related to my participation in the program. I agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Releasee from and against any and all Claims whatsoever that the Releasee may suffer arising from, connected with or related to my participation in the program, whether inside or outside of the U.S.

Further, I hereby grant full permission to BL to use any photographs, videotapes, motion pictures, website images, recordings, comments I make in questionnaires or letters or any other record of the program for purposes of commercial advertising, marketing or promotional literature without the need for further consent from me.

Insurance Requirements
I acknowledge that I will be automatically enrolled in BridgeTEFLJobs's insurance plan which covers medical expenses, emergency medical evacuations, accidental death or dismemberment and repatriation of remains for the period that I am traveling and participating in the BTJ program. I have also been fully advised and warned by BL that I should check with my current medical insurance provider to ensure that my insurance covers potential medical costs incurred outside of the U.S. If my insurance provider does not, I have been encouraged by BL to acquire and maintain supplemental health insurance. I understand that BL may, from time to time, offer health or travel insurance coverage through selected insurance providers so that I can obtain a group rate, but they are under no obligation to do so. Should I choose to select any insurance package provided outside BL, I acknowledge that I have independently verified the sufficiency of the coverage for my needs.
