Agreement to release and hold harmless the City of Crestwood and/or Southminster Presbyterian Church. Without this top line, the document refers to the city and church without identifying them until near the end.
Please read this section carefully and be aware that in participating in the City's/Church’s Program(s), you are expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and releasing all claims of injuries, damages, or loss which you, or your minor child, might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities associated with the Program(s). By signing this Agreement, you as an adult, or as a parent or legal guardian of a minor, are acknowledging that you are aware of the risks associated with the Program(s) and that you are freely assuming those risks.
In exchange for the City sanctioning the Program(s), providing City-paid staff members to take part in the Program(s), and permitting my participation in the Program(s), I agree as follows:
I hereby acknowledge that I understand the nature of the Program, and believe that I am, and/or my child(ren) are, qualified and in proper physical condition to participate in the Program. I further agree that if at any time, I believe participation in the Program is unsafe with respect to my or my child(ren)’s physical condition, the equipment, or facilities, it shall be my responsibility to immediately discontinue participation in the Program.
I further acknowledge and agree that I am aware that participation in the Program involves the risk of illness, serious bodily injury (including the possibility of permanent disability, paralysis, or death), which may be caused by (a) my, or my child(ren)’s, own actions or inactions, (b) the actions or inactions of others participating in the Program, (c) the condition of the equipment and/or facilities at which the Program is located, or (d) the actions or inactions of the Releases identified below; and I fully accept and freely assume all such risk and all responsibility for losses, costs, and damages I and/or my child(ren) may incur as a result of participation in the Program.
I, for myself, my child(ren), and my personal representatives, release, forever discharge, and waive the right to pursue any and all claims against, Southminster Presbyterian Church, the City of Crestwood, its Board of Aldermen, agents, officers, employees, and others acting on the City's or Church’s behalf (collectively, "Releases”), of, from, and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, suits, and/or legal liabilities for any personal injury, death, damage or loss to property, liability or expense, including attorney's fees, arising out of the below-named participant's participation in the above Program(s), even if such damages, injuries, or death are alleged to be in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the fault of or caused by the negligence or carelessness of the Releases, including, without limitation, claims arising out of the dangerous condition of City property, the negligence of City employees, or a COVID-19 infection arising before, during, or after participation in the Program.
I, for myself, my child(ren), and my personal representatives, agree to defend, indemnify and hold the Releases, harmless from and against all claims for personal injury, death, damage or loss to property, liability or expense, including attorney's fees, arising out of the below-named participant's participation in the Program(s), notwithstanding any possible negligence, (whether sole, concurrent or otherwise) on the part of the Releases.
