LEGAL STUFF. I knowingly and willingly waive and release any and all claims I may have against the church, the church representatives, church counselors and the church participants, and their respective successors, assigns, and/or affiliates (collectively, the “church parties”), related to any liability, loss, damages, injury, claims, costs, expenses, and/or attorneys’ fees of any kind that may be suffered by me, my family members, or any individual or individuals that I invite into church facilities or to participate in any part of any activities related to the church, which may arise, whether directly and/or indirectly, from participating in the counseling programs, and/or from any other activities contemplated by this agreement (whether negligent and/or otherwise on the part of the church, a church representative, a church participant and/or any third party). In no event will the church be liable to me or my family members, under, in connection with, and/or related to this agreement for any special, incidental, punitive, indirect, and/or consequential damages, whether based in breach of contract, statutory law, equity, warranty, tort, product liability, and/or otherwise, and whether church has been advised of the possibility of such damage. I understand that the church would not permit me to participate in the counseling programs, enter church facilities, and/or participate in any part of any activities related to church without agreeing to this waiver and release. I expressly agree and acknowledge that the foregoing waiver and release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the state of California. I agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless any church parties, from and/or against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, and/or attorneys’ fees of any kind arising from, whether directly and/or indirectly, (a) the counseling programs, (b) any action, inaction, and/or omission while on church premises, (c) my participation in any part of any activities related to church, (d) my non-compliance with applicable laws, and/or (e) my breach of this agreement and/or failure to follow the policies and procedures of the church. These indemnification provisions will survive the termination and/or expiration of this agreement. Please initial below to indicate that you agree. *
