By signing this form for your child, you are waiving important legal rights. Please read this form carefully.

This Waiver covers my child's participation in activities at the gardens at
* Westlawn Gardens, The Farm, Browning Elementary, and Silver Spring Neighborhood Center (Northside) and
* 6H Gardens (Southside).

I acknowledge, agree, and represent that I understand the nature of gardening, cooking, and other physical activities, which may include light physical labor involving the use of garden tools, kitchen equipment, and sports equipment, and that my child is qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such activities.

Participating in the above activities involve risks, dangers, and hazards. Gardening and physical activities can be strenuous and subject to risk of injury. I am aware that by my child participating in the above activities they are risking permanent personal injury, paralysis, death, or damage to property. I accept and assume those risks.

I release the following parties (all of whom are referred to as the “Releasees” in this Waiver Form):
* Teens Grow Greens
* The directors, employees, independent contractors, and volunteers of any of the above from any and all liability for any loss, damage, injury or expenses that my child may suffer as a result of their participation in the activity above, no matter how caused, including if caused by the negligence of any of the Releasees.

I also agree not to hold Releasees liable for any loss or damage to my child's personal property as a result of their participation in the above activities.

If someone sues me for negligence, I agree not to claim contribution or indemnity from any of the Releasees. I release the Releasees from all liability that could arise from such a contribution or indemnity claim.

I agree to hold harmless and indemnify the Releasees in respect of any claims, liability or legal expenses that they incur arising directly or indirectly by reason of a claim brought by me against any person or entity for loss, damage, injury or expenses suffered by me.

I also understand that the Releasees do not assume any responsibility for or obligation to provide financial assistance, including but not limited to medical, health or disability insurance. Teens Grow Greens, Inc. does not provide Worker’s Compensation for volunteer participants or contractors.

I understand that my child is a program participant, and is not an employee, contractor, or agent of Teens Grow Greens.

I confirm that because my child is under age 18, I, as their parent or guardian, have signed this Waiver.

I recognize and agree that my child is not allowed to participate in the activity above unless I sign this Waiver. I agree that this Waiver is binding on me and on my heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. If any portion of this release from liability shall be deemed by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, then the remainder of this release from liability shall remain in full force and effect and the offending provision or provisions severed herefrom.
