The above participants agree on behalf of myself, my heirs, assigns, executors, and personal representatives, to hold harmless and defend St. Thomas More Church, Diocese of Salina, its officers, directors, agents, employees, or representatives associated with the field trip from any and all liability claims, loss or damage arising from or in connection with my participation in the field trip.
General Release & Waiver of Liability/Covenant Not to Sue & Hold Harmless: By signing this Agreement, we agree and acknowledge that we may be giving up important legal rights and remedies available to ourselves, our family, our heirs, successors, and assigns. This is a “General Release” which means that we are giving up and releasing important legal rights described below, and it is to be construed in the broadest possible manner.
For value received, we agree on behalf of ourselves, any other parents if known or living, any above named minors, and our heirs, successors, and assigns (“Our Behalf”) that we assume all risks and waive any liability of any nature whatsoever against and agree to hold harmless St. Thomas More Church, its officers, directors, volunteers, and agents in connection with this event (“St. Thomas More Church et al.”) and the Diocese and all parishes within it, and their respective officers, directors, volunteers and agents, and chaperons or representatives associated with the event (“Diocese et al.”) with respect to any and all actions, claims or demands that may be made or brought on Our Behalf against St. Thomas More Church et al. and/or the Diocese et al. arising out of or in connection with our travel to or attendance at the Go Make a Difference (“GMD”), or any other activity we may engage in while participating in GMD day. In addition, and not by way of limitation, we further agree to abide by any terms and conditions imposed by name badges or credentials, e.g., permission to photograph.
A “Covenant Not to Sue” is a legal term that means a person promises not to file a lawsuit. It is different from the General Release of claims above. Besides waiving and releasing the claims covered above, we covenant on Our Behalf not to sue and promise never to file or prosecute any legal claim of any kind against St. Thomas More Church et al. and the Diocese et al. in any federal, state, or municipal court, asserting any claims that are released by this Agreement. We are also waiving on Our Behalf any right to monetary recovery.
Further, for value received, for any injury to third parties that may arise because of our actions or omissions, we agree on Our Behalf to hold harmless and defend St. Thomas More Church et al. and the Diocese et al. with respect to any and all actions, claims, expenses, or demands arising therefrom that may be made or brought against St. Thomas More Church et al. and/or the Diocese et al., including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses arising in connection therewith.
