SHS Release

To participate in robotics at Summit High School, each student must complete this release of liability.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY FOR MINOR PARTICIPANTS

READ BEFORE SIGNING

IN consideration of my Child/Ward being allowed to participate in any way in the Summit High School Robotics (the “Program”) events and activities, including practices, events, and travel, occurring during and off-season, including but in no way limited to the Kendall Soap Box Derby, the undersigned acknowledges, appreciates, and agrees that:

The risks of injury and illness (including bodily injury and disease) to my child from the activities involved in the Program are significant, including the potential for permanent disability and death, and while particular rules, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce these risks, the risks of serious injury and illness do exist; and, I understand that the coaches, mentors, and volunteers cannot maintain constant supervision over My Child/Ward, and that accidents are an inherent risk in connection with the Program that involves the use of dangerous tools, powerful machinery, and the potential for unpredictable behavior on the part of other minor children.

If My Child/Ward is incapable of safely engaging in unsupervised activity, then I agree to either attend and supervise My Child/Ward during all meetings and events, or I will prevent My Child/Ward from participating in any activities without my direct supervision.

FOR MYSELF, SPOUSE, AND CHILD/WARD, I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASES or others including but not limited to coaches, mentors, and volunteers, and assume full responsibility for My Child/Ward’s participation; and, I willingly agree to comply with, and to compel My Child/Ward to comply with, the Program’s current and customary rules, terms, and conditions for participation. If I observe any unusual significant concern in My Child/Ward’s readiness for participation and/or in the Program itself, I will remove My Child/Ward from the participation and bring such attention of the nearest coach or mentor immediately; and, I myself, my spouse, My Child/Ward, and on behalf of my/our heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS Summit High School Robotics; its directors, officers, officials, agents, coaches, employees, mentors, volunteers, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event (“Releasees”),

WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property incident to My Child/Ward’s involvement or participation in the Program, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY FOR MINOR PARTICIPANTS

I, for myself, my spouse, My Child/Ward, and on behalf of my/our heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS all the above Releasees from any and all liabilities incident to my involvement or participation in these programs, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THEIR NEGLIGENCE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

I, the Parent/Guardian, hereby represent that I have full authority to sign this Waiver on behalf of My Child/Ward, and that I have explained to My Child/Ward: the risks of the activity, his/her/their responsibilities for adhering to the rules and regulations, and that

My Child/Ward understands this agreement.

I, FOR MYSELF, MY SPOUSE, AND MY CHILD/WARD, HAVE READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.
