This agreement to indemnify and hold the Releasees harmless includes, but shall not be limited to, all costs, legal or otherwise, incurred in defending any such claim, demand, lawsuit, action or cause of action.  The Parent further acknowledges that it is his or her sole responsibility to ensure a Participant under the age of 18 years is properly supervised and chaperoned at all times during the Events and as part of the program within which they are competing.  The Releasees have no obligation in this regard.  


USE OF IMAGES OR RECORDINGS OF THE EVENTS:  The Participant and/or the Parent acknowledges that the Releasees may from time-to-time capture sounds and images (“electronic recordings”) at or for the Events.  The Participant and/or Parent acknowledges that the voice and image of Participant may be included in such electronic recordings and consents to same.  The Participant and/or the Parent hereby transfers and assigns to the Releasees the exclusive right to (i) make such recordings for commercial purposes which may be broadcast to the public in the sole discretion of the Releasees and generate revenue to their benefit; and (ii) to utilize electronic recordings captured at or for the Events and including the Participant's image and/or voice for commercial purposes in perpetuity, which may be broadcast to the public in the sole discretion of the Releasees and generate revenue to their benefit, whether captured and submitted by their school / cheer club for virtual Events or when captured by the Releasee at live Events.
