Assumption of Risk, Release from Liability and Indemnification Agreement
My child is not yet 18 years old and will participate in a Chosen Growth Training Program, (the “Camp”) operated by Chosen Growth LLC. This document (“Agreement”) covers all aspects of my child’s participation in the Camp.
1. Camp Risks. I understand that participation in the Camp involves risks that Chosen Growth LLC cannot eliminate, including, among others, risk of property damage, illness, bodily injury, permanent disability, and death.
2. Assumption of Risk. I voluntarily take responsibility for all risks of participating in the Camp.
3. Release. In exchange for Chosen Growth LLC allowing my child to participate in the Camp, I release Chosen Growth LLC and the Camp from all legal and financial responsibility for any harm that I, my child, or our property might suffer as a result of my child’s participation, even if the harm is caused by Chosen Growth LLC’s and/or the Camp’s negligence.
4. Indemnification. I agree to indemnify and hold Chosen Growth LLC and the Camp harmless from (that is to say, I agree to pay or reimburse Chosen Growth LLC and/or the Camp for) any costs, penalties, legal fees, or judgments (“Costs”) that Chosen Growth LLC and/or the Camp has to pay related to my child’s participation in the Camp, even if the Costs resulted from Chosen Growth LLC’s and/or the Camp’s negligence.
5. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The laws of Connecticut shall govern and the courts of Connecticut shall interpret this Agreement.
6. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall legally bind me, and my child, family members, spouse, estate, heirs, administrators, or personal representatives.
7. Severability. If a court decides that any part of this Agreement cannot be enforced, I agree to change that part to make it enforceable. If the unenforceable part cannot legally be changed, it will be severed, but the rest of the Agreement will remain in effect.
8. COVID-19. The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Chosen Growth, LLC has put in place preventative measures designed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19; however, Chosen Growth, LLC cannot guarantee that you or your child will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending the camp could increase your risk and your child’s risk of contracting COVID-19. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending the camp and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the camp may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Chosen Growth, LLC, employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance at the camp or participation in Chosen Growth, LLC programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Chosen Growth LLC, its employees, agents, and representatives, and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of Chosen Growth LLC, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Chosen Growth LLC program.
9. Signature. I agree that I have read and understood this Agreement, I am competent to sign it, and I do so voluntarily and without relying on anything Chosen Growth, LLC wrote or told me except what is written above. I understand that I am free to not sign this agreement and to find a different camp for my child.
