Anyone, in any country, who already has a TEDx license, may sign up for a TEDxLive license. The specified purchase price of the license applied for (in U.S. dollars) must be paid in full at sign-up in order for your membership to be processed; it can be paid by credit card or check. The membership lasts 12 months and may be renewed indefinitely (note: pricing may vary by year), although the rights to the TEDxLive name reverts to TED immediately after the conference ends. We will issue tax receipts for the amount of half the total package amount.
Groups and institutions such as libraries, businesses and universities are welcome to join, but the same terms and conditions apply.
Be sure you review the webcast page to determine whether your system meets the requirements to watch the live web stream from TED. Note: You will be given one private login name, and only one IP address (one computer) will be permitted to access the live stream.
Note: The license to hold a screening is granted on a strict noncommercial basis. TEDxLive licensees may charge admission for their events, but only to cover production costs. You may not use your event to advertise. You may not resell the web feed in any form, in whole or in increments.
Program features and terms and conditions are subject to change.
Removal of Members
TED Conferences LLC reserves the right, at any time and for any reason, to revoke a TEDxLive license from an individual or a group with full refund (minus any balance totaling the cost of benefits already received).
Tax-deductibility
Payments for TEDxLive licenses take the form of a contribution to the foundation which owns TED, the Sapling Foundation, a private 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation. We will send you a receipt acknowledging the contribution. A portion of your membership is not tax deductible (value of services received). This amount is half of the total license amount. The amount the member pays in excess of the value of services received may be tax-deductible as a philanthropic contribution, although you should consult your own advisers as individual situations may differ.
