Terms & Conditions

This Intern Participation Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Cross World Medics, a California non-profit corporation (“CWM”), and Purchaser, an Intern (“Intern”).

WHEREAS, the Intern is desirous to participate in the various internship programs offered by CWM and does so pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (“Internship”);

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties execute this in agreement of the terms and conditions stated herein:

Definitions

Intern - An "intern" is anyone who, without compensation or expectation of compensation beyond reimbursement, performs a task at the direction of and on behalf of CWM. An "intern" must be officially accepted and enrolled by CWM prior to performance of the task. Unless specifically stated, interns shall not be considered as "employees" of CWM.

The following TERMS AND CONDITIONS apply to all Cross World Medics Internships:

I. Personal health and safety considerations

I, the Intern, will obtain a policy of comprehensive medical, travel, and/or accident insurance for the period that I am participating in the Internship, which should have minimum Policy limits of $250,000. (the “Policy”). The Policy will provide coverage for injuries and illnesses I may sustain or experience in the Internship countries and those in which I will live or through which I will travel while on the Internship. I certify that the Policy will adequately cover me while outside my home country and includes coverage for emergency evacuation and repatriation. I also hereby release Cross World Medics (“CWM”), the university at which I am matriculated, the State of California, and their agents officers, directors, employees, heirs and assigns, successors in interest from all responsibility and liability for any injuries (including death), illness, claims, damages, charges, bills, or expenses I may incur while I am abroad whether incurred due to the negligence of CWM or not. I assume full responsibility and liability for any injuries (including death), illness, claims, damages, charges, bills, or other expenses I may incur while I am abroad whether incurred due to the negligence of CWM or not.
I am aware of all of my applicable personal medical needs and, at least 30 days prior to departure, I will report, in writing to CWM any physical or mental condition that may affect my participation in any CWM-organized program.
I have arranged, through insurance or otherwise, to pay for all of my medical expenses during my participation in this Internship. I agree to pay for any immunization services, agreed medical check ups and fulfill all conditions of the required countries in which I will be resident or through which I will travel as part of this internship.
I understand that any medical requirements and/or restrictions placed on my participation in my Internship (including disabled persons’ access to facilities or availability of special accommodations for visually-impaired or deaf persons) are determined by the laws of the countries in which the Internship is located and/or by the policies or procedures of the institution(s) through which I have arranged for my internship. I acknowledge that, with the exception of CWM-organized programs, CWM is not responsible for securing or supporting any additional accommodations necessary for my participation in the Internship I have chosen.
I understand that CWM provides basic meals on the internship, and that meals provided generally reflect the local cuisine. Some foods that are part of my regular diet at home may not be included, and any additional foods/products that I require will be my personal responsibility to purchase, not that of CWM. Vegetarians can be accommodated in CWM-provided meals, but Interns with more specific dietary requirements may need to supplement the included meals at their own expense. Interns with food allergies including but not limited to nut or dairy, must ensure that CWM is aware of the existence and severity of the allergy.
Interns may opt out of CMW-provided meals if they have made alternative plans, and in such instances no reimbursement for the foregone meal shall be issued by CWM. No reimbursements will be made for Interns who miss scheduled meals.
Interns must include dietary or religious restrictions on their Intern Information Sheet or notify CWM by email and confirm receipt of the same.

II. General travel advisory

I understand that CWM assumes no responsibility or liability for any losses that I may incur arising from: any delays; delayed or changed departure or arrival times; fare changes; dishonors of hotel, airline, or vehicle rental reservations, missed carrier connections; sickness, disease, or injuries (including death); losses or damages arising from weather; strikes; acts of God; circumstances beyond the control of CWM; force majeure; war; quarantine; civil unrest; public health risks; criminal activity; terrorism; accident; damage to property; bankruptcies of airlines or accommodations, restaurants, transportation, or other service or for any substitution of hotels or of common carriers beyond CWM’s control, with or without notice, or for any additional expense occasioned by liability for my hotel, transfers, meal costs, or other expenses.
My baggage and personal property are transported entirely at my risk, and CWM is not responsible for the loss of or damage to my baggage and/or personal property while in transit, in residence, or in storage for the duration of my chosen internship. I assume full responsibility and liability for any losses that I may incur arising from such events.
I assume full responsibility and liability for any losses that may incur arising from: any delays; delayed or changed departure or arrival times; fare changes; dishonors of hotel, airline or vehicle rental reservations; missed carrier connections; sickness, disease, or injuries (including death); losses or damages arising from weather; strikes; acts of nature; circumstances beyond the control of CWM; force majeure; war; quarantine; civil unrest; public health risks; criminal activity; terrorism; accident; damage to property; bankruptcies of airlines or accommodations, restaurants, transportation, or other service or for any substitution of hotels or of common carriers beyond CWM’s control, with or without notice, or for any additional expense occasioned by any of these events. If due to weather, flight schedules, or other uncontrollable factors, I am required to spend additional nights away from home of my intended destination, I assume full responsibility and liability for my hotel, transfers, meal costs, or other expenses.
I am aware and understand the risks and dangers of travel to, in, and around the Internship countries, including but not limited to the dangers of my own health and personal safety posed by the use of public transportation and by civil unrest, political instability, terrorist, crime, violence, and disease. I will examine and periodically review the US Consular information <http://www.state.gov/> and the Centers for Disease Control information <http://www.cdc.gov/travel/> website for information and updates regarding the risks of travel to these countries prior to my departure. By my participation in the Internship I assume, knowingly and voluntarily, each of these risks and all of the other risks that could arise out of or occur during my travel.
CWM reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel any Internship it organizes or withdraw its support of my participation in the Internship or any aspects of it prior to departure or after departure, requiring that I return to my country of origin, if CWM determines or believes that I or any person is or will be in danger if I continue in the Internship or any aspect of it. In such an event, no reimbursement will be made on internship cost or other costs incurred. I may, at the sole discretion of CWM be placed in an alternative program location.
Any Intern who voluntarily leaves, or is removed from the CWM Internship before the scheduled completion of their full internship, will not be refunded by CWM for any portion of their internship costs, nor will they be permitted to re-join the Internship at any time, including during optional excursions and activities. CWM does not assume responsibility for any Intern once they have left the supervision of the CWM program staff. This policy includes any Intern being required to leave the CWM Internship as requested by CWM staff for breach of contract, violation of the Code of Conduct, or for medical or personal reasons.

III. Responsibility for behavior

I understand that each country has its own laws and standards of acceptable conduct, including dress, manners, morals, politics, drug and alcohol use, and behavior. I recognize that behavior that violates those laws or standards can harm the relationship between the host country and the United States; the reputation of CWM and the host community, program sponsors or co-sponsors; and my own health and safety.
I will become informed of, and abide by, all such laws and standards for each country to or through which I will travel during the Internship by reviewing the relevant travel guides and by consulting available US government resources at www.state.gov. I assume full responsibility and liability for any consequences or violations thereof. I also understand that CWM is not responsible for providing any assistance, legal or otherwise, in dealing with the laws or standards of foreign countries.
CWM reserves the right to decline to accept or retain me in any CWM-organized Internship at any time if my actions or general behavior impedes the operation of CWM or the rights or welfare of any person. I understand that I may be required to leave the Internship at the sole discretion of CWM’s employees, agents, or representatives, and I may be referred to the appropriate officials for disciplinary or other action. In such an event, no refund will be made for my internship costs.
At my own expense, I shall defend, indemnify and hold CWM harmless (including CWM’s directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against any and all loss, liability, claims, suits, actions, proceedings, judgments, awards, damages and expenses (including attorney’s fees) that they, or any of them may incur or suffer by reason of my participation in CWM.
I understand that I need to abide by the rules of the housing provider or body corporate of any premises rented by CWM for the purposes of intern accommodation, and will be personally liable for any damages to premises or vehicles rented or owned by CWM.
I understand that, in order to provide a safe and healthy environment for all, Cross World Medics may review relevant public documents regarding criminal activity relating to myself, or any person who is in contact with children. CWM may conduct background checks, which may include, but is not limited to, any of the following background screening mechanisms: employment reference check, personal reference check, personal interview, confirmation of education, local criminal record check, state criminal record check, FBI criminal record check, state central child/dependent adult abuse registry check, state sex offender registry check, motor vehicle record check, professional disciplinary board background check, or, if I am not a U.S. resident or citizen, the relevant means of obtaining a background check or police certificate in my country of citizenship and/or residence.
Furthermore, I understand that if I am found to have any crimes against children, I will not be admitted or retained in an CWM internship. Other criminal records or additional information not specifically relating to children may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and Cross World Medics reserves the right to deny an intern position at any time, for any reason, should it be determined to be in the best interest of the child or other program participants.

IV. Clinic and Shadowing Precautions

I understand that as a Cross World Medics intern I am not authorized to perform any medical procedure and that my role is to observe my accompanying physician or healthcare professional in an inquiry based setting.
I understand that I am not allowed to handle any sharps (needles, blades, etc.) during my internship.
I will ensure to take all safety precautions when shadowing a physician that is dealing with any patient fluids (blood, amniotic fluid, etc.). Within this context it is mandatory that gloves and goggles (including interns wearing glasses) are worn.
I absolve myself of any and all legal action against Cross World Medics, it’s directors and officers, staff, and partner clinics and physicians under any and all conditions including but not limited to injury while participating in the clinical setting. This includes and is not limited to accidental needle injuries and acquisition of infectious disease.
If I were to obtain an injury or illness during my participation as a Cross World Medics intern I will not hold the organization or any of its affiliates liable for my treatment.

V. Logistics

For CWM-organized Internships, I understand that CWM reserves the right to change the Internship itinerary, at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and neither CWM nor its co-organizers will be liable for any loss to me by reason of any cancellation or change. CWM may substitute hotels, accommodations, transportation, or housing at any time for any reason. Specific room and housing assignments are within the sole discretion of CWM and its co-organizers.
The itinerary is subject to modification and change by CMW. Every reasonable effort will be made to operate the Internship as planned; however, should unforeseen local or global events and conditions require our itinerary to be altered or cancelled, CWM reserves the right to do so for the safety and best interest of the group.
In the unlikely event of such a cancellation, no refund can be given by CWM.
I understand that accommodations and housing that are provided by CWM during Internships may have some inherent risks that are beyond the control of CWM including but not limited to acts of nature, accident, sickness, terrorism, crime, theft. CWM reserves the right to change or substitute housing at any time with or without notice. Neither CWM nor its co-organizers will be liable for any loss to me by my residing in the rooms or housing assignment in which I am placed.
I understand that transportation provided by CWM vehicles and other vehicles in the duration of the Internship is taken at my own risk; and CWM assumes no responsibility or liability for any damages or losses that may occur from vehicle related injury accidents including death. I will abide by the traffic and vehicle rules of the countries in which the Internship is located and the additional traffic and vehicle rules set by CWM.
Weekend off time and/or extra travel during the duration of the Internship as well as pre/post-program travel is not considered part of the CWM-organized Internship. “The Internship” is the period of time including and between the start date and the end date, and any date before the start date or after the end date is not considered part of the Internship. I understand that I am free to choose to participate in and I assume full responsibility for any activities that I may engage in during weekend off time; and/or extra travel accommodations, transportation, food, medical, injury (including death), and all other expenses incurred during weekend off time and/or extra travel pre/post program.

VII. Program Fee Payment Policy

i. In order to participate in a CWM Internship, the Intern must complete the required program fee payment to Cross World Medics by the program fee deadline in order to retain their spot and participate in the internship, barring a situation in which there are specific circumstances outlined by a separate agreement between the Intern and CWM.

ii. Personal expenses associated with the internship are not included in the program fee and will not be provided by CWM, including, but not limited to - domestic/international flight costs, baggage costs, travel insurance, and any activities, trips, lodging, meals, or other expenses of a personal nature which are not part of the official internship itinerary.

iii. The program fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. Under no circumstances, in part or full, can the program fee be refunded or transferred to another intern.

i. The Program Fee is due no later than 90 days after the intern’s date of enrollment, barring a situation in which there are specific circumstances outlined by a separate agreement between the Intern and CWM.

ii. Regardless of date of enrollment, the latest a program fee deadline can fall is 60 days before the start of the internship. Accordingly, if the intern’s date of enrollment is less than 90 days prior to this date, their program fee due date may be less than 90 days from their date of enrollment.

iii. Program fee due date extensions are available upon request, and upon review and approval from CWM.

iv. If an Intern would like an extension of their program fee due date, they must inform CWM and submit a request for program fee extension.

a.An extension will be granted solely at the discretion of CWM and requires the Intern’s program fee to be paid in full by a date agreed upon with CWM, and no less than 30 days prior to the internship start date.

v. If the Program Fee is not paid in full by the due date (either the original or the agreed-upon extended due date), the Intern will be withdrawn from that internship and their enrollment cancelled. The Intern will receive a program cancellation notice and any portion of the fees already paid will not be eligible for refund.

vi. Once cancelled, Intern’s enrollment in original program selection is not guaranteed even if they become reinstated.

vii. In the event that the Intern still participates, partially or completely, in the Internship for any reason without having completed the full program fee payment, they will still be responsible for payment of the program fee in full, even after the program end date.

B. Switch Fees

i. If an Intern chooses to switch internship date or location more than 90 days before the original internship’s start date, CWM will waive the Switch Fee, one time only.

ii. In the event of any additional switches, CWM will assess a US $100, non-refundable switch fee.

v. The Switch Fee is non-refundable and non-transferrable, and is assessed at the time the switch is made, whether or not the Program Fee balance has been paid in its entirety.

vi. Internship switch requests may only be granted at the discretion of CWM, and are subject to availability in the desired internship date/location.

C. Cancellation Policy

i. If the Intern chooses for any reason to cancel their participation in the Internship, they must inform both CWM and their travel insurance provider of cancellation. Whether or not the reason for cancellation falls within the terms of the Intern’s insurance policy, or whether or not the Intern’s insurance claim is denied, is not the responsibility of CWM.

ii. Denial by Intern’s insurance provider and submission of the same to CWM is in no way a guarantee of a refund to be paid from CWM.

iii. If an Intern cancels his or her participation in the CWM internship the $300 USD enrollment fee will not be refunded under any circumstance.

iv. Payments towards an intern’s program fee are made directly to CWM, not to the intern personally, and therefore cannot be refunded to the Intern in the event that the Intern cancels their participation in the internship.

v. In the event that the Intern participates in the Internship but either arrives after the internship start date or departs before the internship end date, no refunds will be given for unused portions of the internship or because of an Intern’s failure or inability to participate in the CWM internship.

viii. The Program Fee, or portions paid thereof, is not transferable to another CWM intern.

vii. It is very important that the Intern understands the cancellation policy, as it pertains to both the enrollment fee and the program fee. If it is not clear, the Intern should ask for clarification. CWM cannot make exceptions to this cancellation policy for any reason, including medical emergencies.

VIII. Payments & Refund Policy

i. If an Intern chooses to fundraise their program fee, all contributions from sponsors must be received by CWM no later than the program fee due date.

ii. If additional payments are received on the Intern’s behalf after the program fee due date, or after the completion of the program fee in full, the following terms apply:

Refunded payments can only be refunded back to the payee themselves, by request of the payee.

iii. Should the Intern, either before or after the program fee due date, make payments exceeding the total amount of the Program Fee, CWM cannot, under any circumstances, ‘refund’ the excess amount to the Intern, or any other party.

iv. Accordingly, any payments received in excess of the amount of the internship program fee will be considered a general contribution to CWM. If the intern chooses to fundraise, it is important that they monitor their fundraising progress and communicate with their donors to ensure that they complete, but do not exceed the program fee.

v. All payments made towards the Intern’s program fee via the CWM website go directly to Cross World Medics and are allocated towards the Intern’s program fee. No portion or amount thereof can be re-issued to the Intern personally for personal expenses such as travel, excursions, etc.

vi. If an Intern is using a third-party fundraising site (e.g. GoFundMe), it is their responsibility to review the Terms & Conditions of the third party fundraising site to ensure that their Program Fee is paid in full by the due date.

vii. CWM is not able to involve itself in any disputes or refunds made through third-party fundraising sites to the intern personally. CWM accepts no responsibility for donations made to the Intern personally through third-party fundraising sites.
