• Although the Académie Internationale d'Été de Nice has taken all necessary measures to insure its participants throughout the session (within French territory), it is recommended to take out insurance for instruments and personal belongings.
• Minors must be accompanied by a responsible parent or legal guardian. Otherwise, the signature of one or the other is mandatory, and a declaration releasing the Academy from all liability must be provided upon registration. In all cases, minor students must report their presence at the registration office during online registration (proof of date of birth / ID will be required).
• By registering with the Académie Internationale d'Été de Nice, the student authorises the recording of their image and performances as an artist-performer in the usual context of the Academy (classes, auditions and concerts) for the production of educational videos.

Teachers may select the best videos from their classes and make them available to students and the public on the Academy's communication media and tools.
