RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK In consideration of receiving permission from The Minnetonka Center for the Arts (the “Art Center”) to use any of its equipment or facilities or to engage or participate in or receive the benefit of any instruction or observation (“Activity”) whether such Activity is organized by the Art Center or not, the undersigned User, for myself, my personal representatives, my heirs and assigns, acknowledges that I understand the nature of such Activity and that I am qualified in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in the Activity. I fully understand that the Activity may involve risks and dangers of bodily injury, whether caused by my own actions, the actions of others, the conditions in which the Activity takes place, or the negligence, action or inaction of the Releasees named below. I further understand that in the event of injury, all losses, costs, damages or expenses incurred by me therein must be paid by me or my personal insurance company. With this knowledge, I hereby release, discharge and hold harmless the Art Center, its directors, officers, employees, agents, volunteers, other participants and all others (the “Releasees”) from any and all claims or causes of action, both known and unknown, arising out of any negligence, omission, action or inaction, including negligent rescue operations; and I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Releasees from any loss, liability, damages, costs or expenses which they or I may incur as the result of or in connection with such claim. By signing below, I indicate that I have read this agreement, fully understand its terms, and understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it; that I have signed it freely; and that I intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law and agree that should any portion of this agreement be held invalid, the balance shall continue to be in full force and effect. If the Participant is a minor, this agreement has been signed by the Parent or Legal Guardian, who represents that they have the ability to give this waiver on behalf of the minor child, and that the child meets the physical requirements of the Activity. |
