2. I understand and acknowledge the physical and mental rigors associated with triathlon, duathlon, or other multi-sport events, and realize that running, bicycling, swimming and other portions of such Events are inherently dangerous and represent an extreme test of a person’s physical and mental limits.  I understand that participation involves risks and dangers which include, without limitation, the potential for serious bodily injury, sickness and disease, permanent disability, paralysis and loss of life; loss of or damage to equipment/property; exposure to extreme conditions and circumstances; accidents, contact or collision with other participants, spectators, vehicles or other natural or manmade objects; dangers arising from adverse weather conditions; imperfect course conditions; water, road and surface hazards; equipment failure; inadequate safety measures; participants of varying skill levels; situations beyond the immediate control of the Event Organizers; and other undefined risks and dangers which may not be readily foreseeable or are presently unknown (“Risks”).  I understand that these Risks may be caused in whole or in part by my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Event, or the acts, inaction or negligence of the Released Parties defined below, and I hereby expressly assume all such Risks and responsibility for any damages, liabilities, losses or expenses which I incur as a result of my participation in the Event.

3.            I agree to be familiar with and to abide by the Rules and Regulations established for the Event. I also accept sole responsibility for my own conduct and actions while participating in the Event, and the condition and adequacy of my equipment.

I hereby warrant that I have read this Agreement carefully, understand its terms and conditions, acknowledge that I will be giving up substantial legal rights by signing it (including the rights of the minor, my spouse, children, parents, guardians, heirs and next of kin, and any legal and personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns), acknowledge that I have signed this Agreement freely and voluntarily, without any inducement, assurance or guarantee, and intend for my signature to serve as confirmation of my complete and unconditional acceptance of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement.  This Agreement represents the complete understanding between the parties regarding these issues and no oral representations, statements or inducements have been made apart from this Agreement.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.  All provisions of this agreement are subject to the laws and statutes of the County of San Diego, including all cities therein, and the state of California.

Privacy Statement

Your privacy and security are important to us. Because we gather certain types of information about The Triathlon Club of San Diego ("TCSD") users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it. Questions regarding this statement should be directed to feedback@triclubsandiego.org. NOTE: LA Tri Club cannot accept information from individuals who are under 14 years of age without first obtaining express parental consent.

1. Capture and Use of Information.

Registration

If you participate in interactive activities (registration, message boards, member activities, email, forums, e-commerce, etc.) on the TCSD website, you may be asked to register for a password and/or to provide information on submission forms. Unique identifiers, such as IDs and passwords, are collected to verify your identity and for use in our record system. Your contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary for service reasons. Financial information that is collected is used only to bill you for products and services that you specifically request.

Cookies

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Generally, cookies work by assigning to your computer a unique number that has no meaning outside of our site. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information; we use them to provide features such as personalization, to save your member ID, and to keep track of your shopping cart. We may also use cookies to assist us in delivering content specific to your interests. Additionally, after you've entered your member ID and password on our service, we save that information so you don't have to re-enter it repeatedly. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of the TCSD website unavailable to you.

IP Address

We may use your IP address to identify you and your shopping cart, to administer our Web site, and to assist in diagnosing problems with our server.

2. Additional Uses of Information

All of the information we collect, both what you tell us and what we collect through the use of cookies, is used to personalize your account, to customize our services and to allow us to contact you when necessary. It is TCSD's policy not to release any personally identifying information about you without your consent (usually obtained through an "opt-out" option that you may select when providing the information or by updating your private profile). In most cases, information will be released only on an aggregated basis (meaning that the information from many TCSD users is grouped together in a way that does not disclose the personal information of any particular user). We may use contact information that you provide to send you information about TCSD and promotional material from some of our partners. TCSD will disclose personal information about an individual user if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with an applicable law or valid legal process.

3. General Privacy Information.

TCSD makes various public forums (such as message boards, email networks, or news groups) available to its users. When you disclose personal information in such public forums, that information can be collected and used by others in various ways, including by sending unsolicited messages. You are solely responsible for any postings you make on public forums of TCSD, and for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online. Further, the TCSD web site contains links to sponsors, advertisers and third party Internet sites and services that may collect data in connection with registrations, promotions, e-commerce, etc. TCSD is also linked to  and in some cases framed by, certain partner web sites. Each of the web sites (linked from TCSD, or linking to TCSD) each have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of TCSD and TCSD has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions and is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

4. Security.

TCSD uses a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Credit card numbers are encrypted in TCSD's secure database which is located behind a firewall. Personal information collected by TCSD is stored in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public. All credit card and registration information supplied by users is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. 

5. Protecting Yourself.

You can help to protect your information by safeguarding your TCSD password and member ID, using caution and discretion when posting information on public areas of the TCVD web site, and by learning more about internet privacy from Web sites such as TRUSTe (www.truste.com).

To ensure an efficient, fair, and informative system the Club has instituted the following rules for all TCSD email. However, keep in mind that all email must be from current club members and that no outside solicitation or announcements from non-members will be accepted. Furthermore, acceptance of all email is subject to approval from the Club's email moderators at the direction of the Board of Directors. Please be aware, emails may take anywhere from 24-48 hours to distribute depending on the day/time you send and when the moderators last checked the club queue.

Email Format

2. Please submit emails in PLAIN TEXT format only and clean-up your email (i.e.: remove all > and any other symbol etc.) before submitting.
3. Please do not include attachments.

Email Content - General

1. All emails to the Club's "General" email list must be related to triathlon or Club functions (except the sub list called "Catch-all". See below).
2. Please respect the time of the volunteer moderators who review all outbound emails and keep your workout announcement short and to the point.
3. Please do not include links to product or service providers that are competitive with TCSD, or the Club's Sponsors and Affiliates, as outlined on the Discounts page.

Email Content - Special Offers and Discounts

Other

1. Please submit your emails with the understanding that it might take at least 24 hours (and sometimes, although not often, as much as 48) for its release to the club. Hence, plan accordingly and transmit all announcements as soon as possible. Please, do not contact the moderators directly, via phone or other means, to ask them to approve your email.
2. Please only submit emails that are intended to be seen by the membership at large. Emails addressed to individual members will be rejected.
3. Abuse of the email system or harassment of the moderators will result in losing your email privileges; remember, they are volunteers with jobs, families, and training schedules…just like you.

Please consider volunteering to be a TCSD email moderator. For more information, email TCSD's Board of Directors.

How to set email preferences (club members only):

1. Go to the TCSD website.

2. Go to the Members page.

3. Under My Profile, click on Email Preferences.

4. Make sure your email address is correct; add a second email address if you like (Note: The second address will not receive copies of club emails, it only allows you to SEND emails from that second address because all incoming emails are screened to make sure they come from members' addresses)

5. Choose the Message Delivery option you wish -- individual emails as they come, a single daily digest of emails, or no emails at all. Please remember that email is the primary communication tool of the Club and its members; electing none may result in you not receiving important club info.

6. Choose whether you wish to receive General emails from all members or just board members.

7. At some point, TCSD will have special email groups.  These would be in ADDITION to General club emails, to be part of topic specific groups which circulate emails regarding that topic among themselves.

8. Finally, be sure to click the Update Profile button at the bottom of the page when you are finished.

Email Archives: You can read and search through all former messages in our Email Archive.

TCSD Email Sublists:

In addition to the General email list which reaches all members, the Club will set up several sublists to which members may subscribe. These lists communicate information on specific topics.  The current sublists are Swim, Bike, Run, Social and Volunteer.  The swim, bike and run sublists are used to convey last-minute workout changes; it is strongly recommended that if you attend any swim, bike or run workout that you subscribe to the appropriate list (or all).  

How to unsubscribe from the email list:

Go to My Profile and select "Unsubscribe" under Message Delivery.

Not receiving emails?

First please confirm that your membership is current, your email address is correct, and your email preferences are set as you expect.

If all of the above are correct, then please be aware that we have troubleshot several of the problems and concluded that several Internet Service Providers (ISPs), notably AOL, are blocking emails from the Club, perhaps as part of their spam reduction initiatives.

Please take the topic up with your ISP (AOL or other) to determine how you can get email from the Club's dispatch through their new spam screening systems (e.g. lowering your Junk Mail Filter level). If you any further problems or questions, please contact TCSD's info@triclubsandiego.org with your problem (please be specific and include a description of your problem, the email address that is failing, and when the problem started).

In the interim, it may work for you to simply replace your current email address on record with an alternative email address (e.g. your work address or get a yahoo, gmail or hotmail address). This has worked for many users. And utilize the email archives to view recent emails.

Sorry for any inconveniences.
