I would like to receive free email promotions and discounts to the email address and phone number provided herein. VOULANTARY ASSUMPTION OF RISK All children’s equipment at Shop N Play including the use of the playground area and equipment, including but not limited to inflatables, ball pits, climbing toys, scooters, swings, etc. and participating in other related activities, is inherently and obviously dangerous. Activities require various degrees of skill and experience and I understand that such risk simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. These risks include serious physical or emotional injury, including but not limited to scrapes, cuts, bruises, sprains, fractures, pinches, concussion, death, damage to myself, the Child, and/or third parties, and damage to personal property of any or all such persons. I understand that the risk of injury extends to all extremities and all other parts of the body. 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 activities that take place at Shop N Play are monitored generally by Shop N Play employees, it is not feasible for such employees to always monitor the activities and actions of all customers or all customers simultaneously. Furthermore, Shop N Play Facility employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. I accept and assume all the risk and responsibilities for injury, death, and illness to myself and identified minors on the Shop N Play premises. I acknowledge that I and/or my child(ren) may require medical assistance, which I acknowledge will be at my own expense or the expense of my personal insurers. I represent and affirm that I have adequate and appropriate insurance to provide coverage for such medical expense. RELEASE OF LIABILITY The Releasing Parties (as defined below) hereby forever, irrevocably and unconditionally release, waive, relinquish, discharge from liability and covenant not to sue Shop N Play, and their successors and insurers (collectively, the “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, contracting Covid-19, 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 the Child’s access to and/or use of Shop N Play’s facility, premises and/or its

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 I or the Child sustains while using the Shop N Play facility, such assistance shall be at my own expense.
