I acknowledge that participation in the activities of Cross Point Ministry involves
risk to the participant (and to the participant’s parents or guardians, if the
participant is a minor), and may result in various types of injury including, but not
limited to, the following: sickness, exposure to infectious/communicable disease,
bodily injury, death, emotional injury, personal injury, property damage, and
financial damage.
In consideration for the opportunity to participate in the activities that are offered
by Cross Point Youth Ministry, the participant (or parent/guardian if the
participant is a minor) acknowledges and accepts the risks of injury associated
with participation in and transportation to and from activity. The participant (or
parent/guardian) accepts personal financial responsibility for any injury or other
loss sustained during the activity or during transportation to and from the
activity, as well as for any medical treatment rendered to the participant that is
authorized by the sponsor or its agents, employees, volunteers, or any other
representatives (collectively referred to as the “activity sponsor”). Further, the
participant (or parent/guardian) releases and promises to indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless the activity sponsor for any injury arising directly or indirectly out
of the described activity or transportation to and from the activity, whether such
injury arises out of the negligence of the activity sponsor, the participant, or
otherwise.
If a dispute over this agreement or any claim for damages arise, the participant
(or parent/guardian) agrees to resolve the matter through a mutually acceptable
alternative dispute resolution process. If the participant (or parent/guardian) and
the activity sponsor cannot agree upon such a process, the dispute will be
submitted to a three-member arbitration panel for resolution in accordance with
the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
