In consideration for being allowed to use said facilities and equipment, and any other services provided by Billy Beez USA LLC or its employees or agents at said location, or any other location within the State of New York, I represent, acknowledge and agree as follows: GENERAL RELEASE I, on behalf of myself and Child (collectively, the “Releasors”) acknowledge and agree that this Agreement covers and is intended to release and provide other benefits, legal protections, and consideration to Billy Beez USA LLC, and its respective and collective agents, owners, officers, managers, shareholders, affiliates, volunteers, participants, employees, successors, predecessors-in-interest, insurers and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their respective or collective behalf (collectively, the “Releasees”) RELEASE OF POTENTIAL INJURIES I acknowledge and agree that the use of and participation in the slides, trampolines and the other equipment and activities at the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility is inherently and obviously dangerous. These risks include, but are not limited to, serious physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, damage to myself, the Child, and/or third parties, and damage to personal property of any or all such persons. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity, which I further agree is for recreational purposes and completely voluntary. I acknowledge and agree that, while the slides, trampolines and other activities that take place at the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility are monitored in a commercially reasonable manner by Billy Beez USA LLC Facility employees, it is not feasible for such employees to monitor the activities and actions of all participants at all times or all participants simultaneously. Nor can they know all characteristics of every participant’s physical and mental health that might lead to injury or damage to myself or Child. VOLUNTARY ASSUMPTION OF RISK I represent that Child and I are in good health and in proper physical condition to participate in slide, trampoline and other activities at the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility. I acknowledge and agree that Child and I are participating voluntarily and at our own risk. I acknowledge and agree that the actions or activities of other customers and participants or the actions or inactions of Billy Beez USA LLC Facility employees could cause Child and I significant bodily injury (as described in this Agreement), and that Releasees are not responsible for the actions or activities of participants using the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility or the negligence of its employees in supervising the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility or its usage, including actions, activities, or omissions that result in such harm. Some of the risks include, but are not limited to death, paralysis (partial or full, temporary or permanent), cuts, scrapes, bumps, bruises, concussions, the transmission of disease strains and allergic reactions, muscle sprains, strains or pulls, breaks or other seriously external or internal injuries to head, face (including nose and teeth/jaw), neck, torso, spine, arms, wrists, hands, legs, ankles, feet or other body parts, heat stroke, heart attacks, dehydration and other exertion-related medical events. In addition to these injuries happening to participants, I am aware that they can occur to other customers, whether standing, walking, running or sitting in areas of the Billy Beez USA Facility without equipment, observing, standing, sitting or taking photographs. AGREEMENT TO PAY MEDICAL EXPENSES I acknowledge, accept, and assume the risk of any and all medical conditions, limitations, or disabilities (whether temporary or permanent) that Child and I possess, whether known or unknown, which might contribute to or exacerbate any injury Child or I might sustain as a result of using the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility or any of its equipment or otherwise being present at the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility. I acknowledge and agree that if medical assistance (of any form, including emergency care, hospitalization, out-patient care, and/or physical therapy) is required or performed as a result of any injury Child or I sustain while being present at the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility, the costs of same shall be at my own expense. RELEASE OF LIABILITY Releasors hereby forever, irrevocably and unconditionally release, waive, relinquish, discharge from liability and covenant not to sue Releasees from any and all claims, demands, rights, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, costs, losses, charges, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, judgments and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law, equity or otherwise, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden, related to or arising, directly or indirectly, from my or Child’s access to and/or use of the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility, premises and/or its equipment (whether slides, trampolines or otherwise), the Child’s and/or my entry into the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility, the condition, maintenance, inspection, supervision, control or security of the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility, the failure to warn of dangerous conditions in connection with the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility, and/or the acts or omissions of Releasees, including, without limitation, any claim for property damage, personal injury, emotional injury, illness, bodily harm, paralysis or death.

In the event that any claim released herein is brought by, or asserted on behalf of, Releasors, I shall immediately defend, indemnify and hold harmless Releasees, and any of them, from any loss or liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees, associated therewith or arising therefrom. I understand and fully acknowledge and agree that all of the risks identified herein and any other risks associated with use of the Billy Beez USA LLC Facility and its equipment or mere presence thereat are beyond the control of Releasees.
