WAIVER AND RELEASE. I hereby waive all rights to make or bring any claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings (collectively, “Claims”) which myself, my Child or our Legal Representatives have or may in the future have against the Releasees (or any of them) and hereby release and forever discharge the Releasees (and each of them) from any and all Claims and liability for or in respect of any illness, infection, injury, death, property damage, loss, cost or expense suffered or incurred as a result of or related to myself or my Child participating in or observing the Activities or attending at the Facility, due to any cause whatsoever including, but not limited to, negligence, wilful acts or omissions, breach of contract or breach of any statutory or other duty of care by any of the Releasees or any other person.

HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS. I represent that neither myself nor my Child have any illnesses, disabilities or other conditions that prevent either of us from safely participating in the Activities. If any such conditions arise in the future, I will consult with a physician before my Child or I participates in any Activities. I acknowledge that the Code of Conduct has been designed in part to create a safe environment for participants and observers of the Activities. My Child and I will abide by such Code of Conduct at all times while at the Facility and I understand that TGL has the right to suspend our participation in the Activities if it deems necessary.
