Google Group Code of Conduct
Effective as of October 25, 2017
The full WIM Google Group Code of Conduct and Terms of Use Agreement is below. For your convenience, here is a summary of the key rules from the policy to keep in mind when using the WIM Google Group.
The Key Rules from WIM's Google Group Policy:
1. Do not “reply all” to messages. Please send your responses to messages privately. Make sure that you manually remove “wimmembers@googlegroups.com” from the address field in your response to the original sender. This also applies if you want to know the responses to someone else’s email to the group. Privately message the sender and ask them to forward you the answers they receive.
2. Use discretion in the frequency of your posts. In the event that a member abuses the posting privilege by sending a high volume of emails, WIM may suspend or revoke that member’s membership to WGG.
3. Relevance and Accuracy:
a. Your postings must be relevant to the mission of WIM. However, this does not mean that your message must be about music or women-only events. Our mission is toadvance the awareness, equality, diversity, heritage, opportunities, and cultural aspects of women in the musical arts through education, support, empowerment, and recognition. Before posting, please ask yourself: Is this post related to WIM’s mission? If not, you should not post.
b. Posts relating to housing, new music/video releases, and general notices about events/performances should be sent to the following WIM email addresses. These posts will be included in a weekly email digest that will be sent to the WIM Google group on Mondays.
i. Housing@womeninmusic.org - posts about requests for housing and available housing. To ensure that your post is delivered, please follow this example format when submitting your post:
“NYC: Seeking 1 bedroom apartment
Please include 3-4 sentences describing your post. Aim to be both brief and efficient in your requests for housing or notifications about housing that is available.
For inquiries, please contact: youremail@address.com”
ii. NewReleases@womeninmusic.org - posts about new music/video releases. To ensure that your post is delivered, please follow this format when submitting your post:
“Title of Release
Please include 3-4 sentences describing your post. Aim to be both brief and efficient when describing your new release and relevant information about the performers involved.
For inquiries, please contact: youremail@address.com”
iii. MemberEvents@womeninmusic.org - posts about upcoming performances and events. To ensure that your post is delivered, please follow this format when submitting your post:
“Chicago: Name of Event
Please include 3-4 sentences describing your post. Aim to be both brief and efficient in your description of the event. Be sure to include RSVP links and any other relevant information.
For inquiries, please contact: youremail@address.com”
c. No “bait and switch” postings. Do not send deceptive emails that seem to be about a matter related to WIM, but upon inspection are really unrelated or are promoting an outside service. Your posts should be about real opportunities for WIM members.
d. No use of the Women in Music or WIM marks or confusingly similar marks without WIM’s prior written approval. Please do not post events or content that could be confused with official WIM events or WIM authorized content. Before you post, please ask yourself, will people likely think this is coming from WIM? If so, please do not send it and contact WIM at events@womeninmusic.org so that we can further discuss.
e. Requests for Contacts: Please specify why you are requesting the contact and provide as much information as possible in connection with your request. A request with no context will not be approved to be posted to the group.
4. Jobs and Internships:
We welcome posts by employers and messengers in the Google group with open positions in the music and related industries.However:
a. No sending of unsolicited resumes for jobs/internships or sending posts seeking job opportunities; and
b. No soliciting of Human Resource contacts. Please refer to the website of the company in which you are interested and follow the company’s guidelines regarding contacting the company’s HR department.
c. Employers and job seekers can also post in the forum about job hunting located on the womeninmusic.org website.
5. Decorum:
a. No airing of beliefs or opinions on politics, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion.
b. No profanity or other foul language.
c. No diary-like, personal thoughts on life,personal situations, or ramblings. We are supportive to each other, but we are not a “support group” for personal issues.
d. No personal attacks or gossip of other individuals.
e. Please use discretion in the frequency of your posts. We welcome everyone to post to the Google Group, but urge our members to be considerate of each other’s inboxes. If you notice a lot of emails/activity in the Google group on a particular day and your post is not urgent, please be mindful of this and consider emailing the group the next day to curb down on email traffic. This will also increase the chances that your post will get noticed!
f. We discourage sending duplicative posts. If you are sending a duplicate or similar post, please use discretion and consider: i) how much time has elapsed since the last post, and ii) is there a justification for sending a follow up post.
g. Finally, in general, please keep your postings polite, professional, and brief to maintain the integrity of the Google group and the organization.

Women in Music Google Group Code of Conduct & Terms of Use Agreement
Current members of Women in Music, Inc. (WIM) have the option to join the WIM Google Group (“WGG”). The WGG is a medium that is controlled, moderated, and provided by WIM and allows current WIM members to engage in email communications with each other that are relevant to the mission of WIM.
If all WGG users (or WIM members) abide by the rules of this Code of Conduct & Terms of Use Agreement (the “WGG agreement”), and offer each other support and respect, the WGG can be a well-managed and pleasant place for all WIM members who choose to participate in it. In addition to the terms of this agreement (defined below), WIM members who choose to join the WGG should also be aware of 'Netiquette' and treat people as reasonable people would like to be treated in real life. If at any time, any WIM member who has joined the WGG wishes to be removed from the WGG, please send an email with your removal request to Jessie Massabni at JMassabni@womeninmusic.org.
1. Agreement to be bound by the WGG Code of Conduct and Terms of Use and the Google Group: Terms of Service
The entry of any WIM member into the WGG automatically constitutes said member’s agreement at all times to abide by this agreement during their membership in the WGG. This agreement also applies to existing members that joined the WGG prior to the date of initial publication of this agreement. Since the WGG is managed through Google, all members who join the WGG also agree to Google’s Google Group: Terms of Service, which can be found here: https://www.privacy.org.au/Papers/G-Groups-terms-120127.html, and which may be updated from time to time in Google’s discretion (the “Google TOS”). The WGG Agreement and the Google TOS are collectively referred to hereunder as the “agreement.” If you do not agree to be bound by this agreement, please immediately send an email requesting removal from the WGG to JMassabni@womeninmusic.org.
2. Member Benefit
The ability to join the WGG is considered a WIM member benefit that a member can lose for failure to abide by this agreement. Loss or suspension of the WGG benefit for failure to abide by this agreement does not always automatically result in a concurrent loss of membership to WIM, but in some cases it may, at the sole discretion of WIM. WIM membership fees are not refunded in the event of loss or suspension of the WGG benefit.
3. Modifications
WIM reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, or otherwise alter this WGG agreement at any time.

If you are a member that participates in the WGG, then it is your duty to review this agreement on a regular basis to keep yourself apprised of any and all changes.
4. Acceptable Content & Activity
The content of acceptable emails distributed to the WGG must be relevant to the mission of WIM and must be presented and distributed in a professional and respectful manner to the WGG community. The WIM mission is stated on the WIM website at www.womeninmusic.org. If you are a member that participates in the WGG, then it is your duty to review the mission of WIM on a regular basis to keep yourself apprised of any changes to the WIM mission.

14 Transfer and Processing DataIn order for us to provide our Services, you agree that we may process, transfer and store information about you in the United States and other countries, where you may not have the same rights and protections as you do under local law.
15 Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with WIM and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration provision. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.
(a)No Representative Actions. You and WIM agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and WIM and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
(b)Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or WIM seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or WIM seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and WIM waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any other dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, including claims related to privacy and data security, (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. Instead, for any Dispute that you have against WIM you agree to first contact WIM and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to WIM by email at legal@womeninmusic.org or by certified mail addressed to Women in Music, Inc. 1201 Third Ave., Suite 4900 c/o Perkins Coie LLP 1201 Third. Ave, Suite 4900, Seattle, WA 98101. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and WIM cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All Disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in New York, New York unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this Section 15, a “consumer” means a person using the Services for personal, family or household purposes. You and WIM agree that Disputes will be held in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
(c)You and WIM agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 15 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
(d)The arbitrator, WIM, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
(e)You and WIM agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if you are a consumer), and WIM will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by WIM, WIM will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and WIM agree that the state or federal courts of the State of New York and the United States sitting in New York, New York have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
(f)Any Dispute must be filed within one year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you and WIM will not have the right to assert the claim.
(g)You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 15 by email at legal@womeninmusic.org or by certified mail to Women in Music, Inc. 1201 Third Ave., Suite 4900 c/o Perkins Coie LLP 1201 Third. Ave, Suite 4900, Seattle, WA 98101 In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 16.
(h)If any portion of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 15 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 15; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 15 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 15 will be enforceable.
16 Governing Law and Venue
Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of New York, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of New York and the United States, respectively, sitting in New York, New York.
17 Modifying and Terminating our Services
We reserve the right to modify our Services or to suspend or stop providing all or portions of our Services at any time. You also have the right to stop using our Services at any time. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use our Services.
18 Additional Terms and Amendments
(a)We may supply different or additional terms in relation to some of our Services, and those different or additional terms become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict.
(b)We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, providing a notice through our Services or updating the date at the top of these Terms. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued use of our Services after we provide such notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop using our Services.
19 Severability
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
20 Miscellaneous
The failure of WIM to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. You agree that communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically.

15 Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with WIM and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration provision. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.
(a)No Representative Actions. You and WIM agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and WIM and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
(b)Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or WIM seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or WIM seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and WIM waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any other dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, including claims related to privacy and data security, (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. Instead, for any Dispute that you have against WIM you agree to first contact WIM and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to WIM by email at legal@womeninmusic.org or by certified mail addressed to Women in Music, Inc. 1201 Third Ave., Suite 4900 c/o Perkins Coie LLP 1201 Third. Ave, Suite 4900, Seattle, WA 98101. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and WIM cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All Disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in New York, New York unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this Section 15, a “consumer” means a person using the Services for personal, family or household purposes. You and WIM agree that Disputes will be held in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
(c)You and WIM agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 15 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
(d)The arbitrator, WIM, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
(e)You and WIM agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if you are a consumer), and WIM will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by WIM, WIM will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and WIM agree that the state or federal courts of the State of New York and the United States sitting in New York, New York have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
(f)Any Dispute must be filed within one year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you and WIM will not have the right to assert the claim.
(g)You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 15 by email at legal@womeninmusic.org or by certified mail to Women in Music, Inc. 1201 Third Ave., Suite 4900 c/o Perkins Coie LLP 1201 Third. Ave, Suite 4900, Seattle, WA 98101 In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 16.
(h)If any portion of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 15 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 15; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 15 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 15 will be enforceable.
16 Governing Law and Venue
Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of New York, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of New York and the United States, respectively, sitting in New York, New York.

(a)We may supply different or additional terms in relation to some of our Services, and those different or additional terms become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict.
(b)We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, providing a notice through our Services or updating the date at the top of these Terms. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately, and your continued use of our Services after we provide such notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop using our Services.
19 Severability
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
20 Miscellaneous
The failure of WIM to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. You agree that communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically.

Forum Code of Conduct
womeninmusic.org Forum Code of Conduct
As of September 15, 2011
Current members of Women In Music Inc. (WIM) have the option to participate in the WIM forum (“WIMF”) located on womeninmusic.org.

Profiles and postings made by members on the WIMF can be viewed by non members, and any and all parties that visit womeninmusic.org.
If all WIMF participants abide by the rules of this forum policy(“agreement”), and offer each other support and respect, the WIMF can be a well-managed and pleasant place for all WIM Members who choose to participate in it. In addition to the terms of this agreement, WIM members who choose to join the WIMF should also be aware of ‘Netiquette’ and treat people as reasonable people would like to be treated in real life.

The ability to join the WIMF is considered a WIM member benefit that a member can lose for failure to abide by this WIMF Code of Conduct and Terms of Use.

Current members of Women In Music Inc. (WIM) have the option to participate in the WIM forum (“WIMF”) located on womeninmusic.org.

Profiles and postings made by members on the WIMF can be viewed by non members, and any and all parties that visit womeninmusic.org.
If all WIMF participants abide by the rules of this forum policy(“agreement”), and offer each other support and respect, the WIMF can be a well-managed and pleasant place for all WIM Members who choose to participate in it. In addition to the terms of this agreement, WIM members who choose to join the WIMF should also be aware of ‘Netiquette’ and treat people as reasonable people would like to be treated in real life.
