GRACE NOEL ART LLC PARTICIPANT WAIVER AND RELEASE
THIS DOCUMENT RELEASES AND WAIVES CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU SHOULD READ THIS DOCUMENT THOROUGHLY AND YOUR SIGNATURE (AS DENOTED BY YOUR ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS OR SIGNATURE ON A HARD-COPY FORM AT THE STUDIO) REPRESENTS THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT. THIS APPLIES TO ALL PARTICIPANTS UNDER A GROUP SIGN-UP, IF THAT IS HOW PARTIES WERE REGISTERED.
This Agreement was entered into at arm's-length, without duress or coercion, and is to be interpreted as an agreement between two parties of equal bargaining strength. Both the Participant and GRACE NOEL ART LLC agree that this Agreement is clear and unambiguous as to its terms, and that no other evidence will be used or admitted to alter or explain the terms of this Agreement, but that it will be interpreted based on the language in accordance with the purposes for which it is entered into. In the event that any provision contained within this Release of Liability shall be deemed to be severable or invalid, or if any term, condition, phrase or portion of this agreement shall be determined to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement shall remain in full force and effect, so long as the clause severed does not affect the intent of the parties. If a court should find that any provision of this agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting said provision it would become valid and enforceable, then said provision shall be deemed to be written, construed and enforced as so limited.
On behalf of myself, my personal representatives, heirs, next-of-kin, spouse and assigns, I acknowledge that I hereby give up certain legal rights when I register for a class or event which includes the right to recover damages to personal property, bodily injury, and any projects left at the studio in exchange for the consideration of participating in the class and using the tools and equipment provided to me as part of the class.

10. The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. GRACE NOEL ART LLC has put in place preventive measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending an event affiliated with GRACE NOEL ART LLC could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending events affiliated with GRACE NOEL ART LLC and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at GRACE NOEL ART LLC may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, GRACE NOEL ART LLC team members, volunteers, and program participants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance at GRACE NOEL ART LLC or participation in GRACE NOEL ART LLC-affiliated programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless GRACE NOEL ART LLC, its team members, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of GRACE NOEL ART LLC, its team members, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any GRACE NOEL ART LLC program.
Minor Clause
In consideration of the services provided by GRACE NOEL ART LLC, I, an adult participant, or parent or legal guardian (Parent) of a minor (individual less than 18 years old) participant, for myself and on behalf of the minor, acknowledge and agree as follows: Risks & Assumption of Risks. I understand and acknowledge that there are dangers and risks (“risks”) involved in participating in activities offered by GRACE NOEL ART LLC, or by being in the vicinity of activities offered, that can cause injury (including permanent disability), property damage, death, or other loss to me, my child, or others. These risks include, but are not limited to: falling down, tripping; back, bone, joint, head, neck, muscle or spinal injuries; cuts, scrapes, burns, skin irritation, skin staining, eye injuries; choking; allergies; poisoning; equipment malfunctions or failure; heat stroke, heat exhaustion, sunburn, dehydration, or other bodily injuries; damage to clothing and/or damage or loss to my property or the property of others; negligence, misjudgments, acts, or omissions by participant, others, and/or GRACE NOEL ART LLC; and participant’s personal health risks. The risks listed in this Waiver are not exhaustive. Other risks may exist. GRACE NOEL ART LLC cannot guarantee my or my child’s safety or eliminate any of these risks. If I am the Parent of a minor participant, I have discussed the risks with the minor participant, who understands and accepts them. Participant is voluntarily participating with knowledge of the risks. Participant (and the Parent of a minor) assumes and accepts full responsibility for participant, for the inherent and other risks of these activities (both known and unknown) and for any injury, damage, death, or other loss suffered by participant (and the parent of a minor), resulting from those risks, including the risk of participant's own negligence or other misconduct.
Release and Indemnity. I, an adult participant or Parent (for myself and on behalf of the minor participant) agree to release and not to sue GRACE NOEL ART LLC and its respective owners, members, employees, agents, volunteers, and staff (“Released Parties”) with respect to any and all claims of injury, disability, death, products liability (including strict liability) or other loss or damage to person or property suffered by me or by the minor participant, arising in whole or part from my (or the minor participant’s) participation in or attendance at GRACE NOEL ART LLC activities or events. In addition, I agree to indemnify (that is, defend and satisfy by payment or reimbursement, including costs and attorney’s fees) Released Parties from any and all claims of injury, disability, death, products liability (including strict liability) or other loss or damage to person or property, brought by me or by or on behalf of the minor participant, another participant, a member of my, or the minor participant’s, family, or anyone else, arising out of or in any way related to a loss suffered by me or the minor participant, or caused by me or the minor participant. This agreement to indemnify includes my agreement to indemnify GRACE NOEL ART LLC for property damage caused by me or my child to GRACE NOEL ART LLC property or the property of others. These agreements of release and indemnity include loss or damage caused or claimed to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of a Released Party, but not gross negligence of a Released Party.
This Waiver replaces and supersedes any former GRACE NOEL ART LLC Waiver, and any oral or written statements made by or to me/my child at any time by anyone in connection with any GRACE NOEL ART LLC activities. This Waiver is effective from the date signed until a subsequent Waiver is signed by Participant or Parent. I understand that I cannot terminate, cancel, or revoke this Waiver for any reason. I authorize GRACE NOEL LLC to obtain or provide medical care to participants and agree that I will be responsible for the payment of any and all medical services rendered. I also give permission for media coverage of participants to be disseminated for public relations purposes without any personal compensation.
This Waiver is effective in regard to participant’s enrollment or participation in all activities from the date signed until a subsequent Waiver is signed by participant or participant’s parent and shall remain in full force and effect for all activities participated in by participant up until that point.
By registering for the class or event I acknowledge that I have read this document in its entirety and agree to the conditions.
