Effective Date: November 10, 2026
Welcome to the website of The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation, a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Foundation,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). These Website Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website (the “Website”) and any other online platforms that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Sites”), including our informational pages, stories and updates, email newsletter and communications sign-up forms, and job listings.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. SECTION 7 CONTAINS A BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER THAT AFFECT HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 7.
1. Acceptance of Terms
1.1 By accessing, browsing, or using the Sites, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Sites.
1.2 Certain features of the Sites, such assigning up for our email newsletter or applying for a job, may require you to affirmatively accept these Terms by checking a box or clicking a button. By doing so, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. Additional terms, such as those of a third-party application platform, may also apply and will be presented to you at the time you use those features. If any additional terms conflict with these Terms, the additional terms will govern as to that feature.
1.3 The Sites are not intended for children under the age of 18. You must be at least 18 years old to use the interactive features of the Sites, such as newsletter sign-up and job applications. Individuals under 18 may use the Sites only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on their behalf.
2. Use of the Sites
2.1 You agree to use the Sites only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with ’the Foundation’s mission and applicable laws. You agree not to: (a) submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information, including in connection with newsletter sign-ups or job applications; (b) impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity; (c) interfere with or disrupt the Sites or their security features; (d) use automated means, such as bots or scrapers, to access or collect content from the Sites without our written permission; (e) upload or transmit viruses or other harmful code; or (f) use the Sites to harass, defame, or infringe the rights of others.
2.2 We may suspend or terminate your access to the Sites at any time, without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms.
3. Website Accuracy Disclaimer
3.1 The Foundation strives to keep the content of the Sites accurate and up to date, but the Sites are provided for general informational purposes only. We do not warrant that any content is accurate, complete, or current, including our informational pages, stories and updates, and job listings.
3.2 Content may include historical information, estimates, or descriptions of planned or ongoing initiatives that may change. Job listings do not constitute an offer of employment, and positions may be filled or withdrawn at any time. Nothing on the Sites constitutes an invitation to apply for, or a commitment to make, any grant or investment. We may correct errors, update content, or remove content at any time without notice. You should not rely on content of the Sites as legal, financial, or other professional advice.
4. Intellectual Property
4.1 The Sites and their content, including text, stories, photographs, videos, graphics, and reports, and the selection and arrangement of that content, are owned by or licensed to the Foundation and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation name, logos, and related marks are trademarks of the Foundation and may not be used without our prior written permission.
4.2 Subject to these Terms, the Foundation grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the Sites and to download or print content for your personal, noncommercial use, such as learning about and sharing our work, provided you keep all copyright and other notices intact. Any other use, including commercial use, modification, or redistribution, requires our prior written permission.
4.3 Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may link to the Sites only with a text-only link that identifies the page, does not frame the Sites or trigger pop-ups, does not suggest that we sponsor or endorse you, does not harm our name or trademarks, and does not appear on a website a reasonable person would consider offensive. We may require you to remove any link at any time.
4.4 If you submit content to us, such as comments, inquiries, or other materials (other than job application materials, which we use only as described in our Privacy Policy), you grant the Foundation a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license to use, reproduce, edit, and display that content in connection with our mission, and you represent that you have the right to grant this license.
5. Third-Party Links and Content
5.1 The Sites may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, and services, including recruiting and applicant tracking platforms, email service providers, social media, and partner organizations. These links are provided for convenience only. The Foundation does not control and is not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party, and a link does not imply endorsement. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms and privacy policies.
5.2 Content provided by third parties, including other users and information providers, reflects the views of its authors, not the Foundation, and we do not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or usefulness.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability
6.1 Disclaimer. THE SITES AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
6.2 Exclusion of Damages. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE FOUNDATION OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR PARTNERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
6.3 Cap on Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE FOUNDATION’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITES WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
6.4 Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
7. Dispute Resolution; Binding Individual Arbitration
7.1 Informal Resolution. Before starting arbitration or any other proceeding, you and the Foundation agree to try to resolve any dispute informally by sending a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought, to press@broadfoundation.org and to our mailing address in Section 12 (for notices to the Foundation) or to the contact information we have for you (for notices to you). If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after notice is received, either party may begin arbitration.
7.2 Agreement to Arbitrate. Except as provided in Section 7.5, you and the Foundation agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Sites (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis. This agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. The arbitrator will decide all issues, except that a court will decide questions about the scope, enforceability, or validity of the Class Action Waiver in Section 7.4.
7.3 Arbitration Rules and Procedure. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect (available at www.adr.org), as modified by these Terms, before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, California, or by video or telephone conference, or on written submissions, at the arbitrator’s discretion. Payment of filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator may award any individual relief that a court could award, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
7.4 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND THE FOUNDATION AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (THE “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). YOU AND THE FOUNDATION EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. If the Class Action Waiver is found unenforceable as to any claim, that claim must be severed and decided by a court, and the remainder of this Section 7 will remain in effect.
7.5 Exceptions: Small Claims and Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) either party may bring an individual action in small claims court in Los Angeles County, California, if the claim qualifies; and (b) either party may seek temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights or unauthorized access to the Sites. Nothing in this Section 7 waives any right you may have to seek public injunctive relief under California law; any such claim will be severed and stayed pending the outcome of arbitration of the individual claims.
7.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending written notice to The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation, Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out, 300 South Grand Ave Suite 1800, Los Angeles, CA 90071 , or by email to press@broadfoundation.org with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out,” within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms (or within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of any update to this Section 7). Your notice must include your name, mailing address, and email address and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms, and Disputes will then be resolved as set forth in Section 9.
7.7 Changes to This Section. If the Foundation makes a material change to this Section 7, the change will not apply to any Dispute of which the Foundation had notice before the change took effect.
8. Indemnification
8.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Foundation and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (a) your use of or conduct on the Sites; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; or (c) any content or information you submit, including information about other individuals, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Foundation. The Foundation may assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with our defense.
9. Governing Law and Venue
9.1 These Terms and any Dispute are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and, as to Section 7, the Federal Arbitration Act. Subject to Section 7, including its exceptions for small claims and injunctive relief, and for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (including if you opt out), you and the Foundation consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
10. Changes to These Terms
10.1 The Foundation may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated Terms on the Sites and revise the Effective Date above. For material changes, we may also provide additional notice, such as a banner on the Website or an email. Changes take effect when posted unless otherwise stated, and your continued use of the Sites after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
11. General
11.1 These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented for specific features, are the entire agreement between you and the Foundation regarding the Sites. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them without restriction. Sections 4 through 10 and this Section 11 survive any termination of your use of the Sites.
12. Contact Us
12.1 If you have questions about these Terms, please contact us at: Email: press@broadfoundation.org; Mail: The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation, 300 South Grand Ave Suite 1800, Los Angeles, CA 90071.
