My organization is participating in the 2023 Rollin G. Osterweis Tournament at Yale (“Program”). I understand and agree to the following terms for my organization’s participation in the Program:
- My organization and its school or other supervising authority (collectively “Organization”) will establish, distribute, and enforce reasonable rules of behavior, safety, and supervision for adults and minors attending the Program under the auspices of my Organization (“Organization Members”).
- Organization Members will adhere to all requirements imposed by my Organization regarding their behavior, safety, and supervision.
- My Organization will obtain and have available during the Program any health forms necessary for the provision of medical treatment to Organization Members. Such forms shall include permission for Yale to seek emergency medical treatment for Organization Members.
- Neither Yale University nor the Program (collectively “Yale”) will be responsible for the behavior, safety, or supervision of Organization Members.
- My Organization releases Yale from all legal and financial responsibility for any harm that the Organization, Organization Members, or their property might suffer as a result of my Organization's failure to meet its obligations under this Agreement.
- My Organization shall indemnify Yale against and hold Yale harmless from (that is to say, my Organization agrees to pay or reimburse Yale for) any costs, penalties, legal fees, or judgments that Yale has to pay related to my Organization’s failure to meet its obligations under this Agreement.
- The laws of Connecticut shall govern and the courts of Connecticut shall interpret this Agreement.
Additionally, I certify that the parents or legal guardians of all student participants from my school are aware of their responsibility to complete the parent/guardian waiver. I understand that it is not the responsibility of Yale (including the Yale Debate Association) to verify that the appropriate and authorized person has completed each of those forms for each participant.
I have read and understood this Agreement, I am competent to sign it, I have the authority to sign it on behalf of my Organization, and I do so voluntarily and without relying on anything Yale has written or told me except what is written above.
