Consistent with my desire to take personal responsibility for my conduct, individually and as a member of a Toastmasters Club, I agree to abide by the principles contained in “A Toastmasters Promise” (listed below) and the governing documents and policies of Toastmasters International and my Club.
I will refrain from any form of discrimination, harassment, derogatory, illegal, or unethical conduct, and I understand that if I engage in such conduct, I may be responsible to reimburse Toastmasters International, my Club and other Clubs, or other individuals involved with Toastmasters, for any damages, losses, or costs, resulting from my conduct.
Understanding that Toastmasters programs are conducted by volunteers who cannot be effectively screened or supervised by Toastmasters Internationals or its Clubs, I release and discharge Toastmasters International, its Clubs, governing bodies, and representatives from any liability for the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of any member or Officer of my club or other Clubs, or any Officer of Toastmasters International.
