These risks and dangers may be either caused by the action, inaction or negligence of the participant and others. There may be other risks not known or reasonably foreseeable at this time. I accept and assume such risks and responsibility for the losses and/or damages following such injury, however caused, and whether caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the named student above. If the student has a temporary restriction (sickness, sprain, soreness, etc.) I will inform the appropriate instructor on a daily basis in writing. I agree that the student and I will abide by the rules, regulations and policies of the Angela Bates Dance Academy ("ABDA"). I consent to the student's participation in ABDA physical programs, classes and activities.
I hereby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue your business, it's administrators, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, employees, contractors, other participants, any sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of the premises on which the activity takes place, (each considered one of the "RELEASEES" herein) from all liability, claims, demands, losses, damages, on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in party by the negligence of the RELEASEES or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations and further agree that if, despite this release, waiver of liability, and assumption of risk, I or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim against any of the RELEASEES, I will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of the RELEASEES from any loss, liability, damage, or cost, which any may incur as the result of such a claim.
