I, the undersigned, hereby acknowledge to be the lawful parent and/or guardian of the above mentioned minor and therefore, acknowledge my qualification to sign the subject agreement on behalf of the said minor(s).

In consideration of being permitted to participate in any way in ABA/ACB programs, for myself, my heirs, personal representatives or assigns, do hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue ABA/ACB, or its successors, directors, employees, volunteers, interns, and agents for liability from any and all claims including the negligence of ABA/ACB, its successors, directors, employees, volunteers, interns, and agents resulting in personal injury, accidents or illnesses (including death), and property loss arising from, but not limited to participation in ABA/ACB programs.

Assumption of Risk: I know and appreciate that risks may arise from my child’s participation in ABA/ACB programs. I hereby assert that my child’s participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks.

Indemnification and Hold Harmless: I agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ABA/ACB, its successors, directors, employees, volunteers, interns, and agents from and against any and all loss, liability charges, actions, claims, suits, and expenses (including attorneys fees) and costs which may arise by reason of participation in ABA/ACB programs. ABA/ACB does not provide insurance for program participants.

Release Authorization For Emergency Treatment: I understand that I am required to maintain and carry accident medical coverage for the child listed on their application and I verify that the coverage information on the Alameda Ballet Academy Registration Form is accurate and true. As parent/guardian, I hereby consent to emergency treatment. I further agree expressly to assume the risk of my minor child participating in ABA/ACB programs.
