Middle Tree Liability Release Agreement:

Middle Tree and I, the undersigned parent or legal guardian of the Minor, agree that the Activity (activities include any Middle Tree activities both on and off site) may pose risks, including possible illness, injury, as well as similar and dissimilar risks (hereinafter “Risks”). The undersigned is fully aware of the Risks and other hazards inherent in the Activity and is allowing the Minor’s voluntary participation in the Activity and assumes the Risks and all other risks of loss, damage, or injury that may be sustained while participating in the activity. We are also not liable for personal items and school materials assigned to the student. Middle Tree makes no representations or claims as to the condition or safety of the land, structures, transportation, or surroundings that may be involved in the Activity, whether or not owned, leased, operated or maintained by Middle Tree. It is understood that Middle Tree does NOT provide any insurance coverage for the Minor's person or property, and the Minor's parent(s) or guardian(s) acknowledge that they are responsible for the Minor's safety and the Minor's own health care needs, and for the protection of the Minor's property. In exchange for allowing the Minor to participate in these Middle Tree activities, the Minor, by and through the undersigned, the
undersigned, and the Minor’s respective heirs, personal representatives and estates agrees to, in perpetuity, release from liability, indemnify and hold harmless Middle Tree and any agent, officer or employee of Middle Tree acting within the scope of their duties for any injury to the Minor's person or damage to the Minor's property. I authorize Middle Tree to take any appropriate action necessary in its judgment, including seeking medical care, if I am not present or reachable in the event of an emergency. The undersigned
acknowledges that as a part of this Release he or she shall be 100% liable for the remuneration of any and all incurred medical expenses resulting from any injury incurred during, or as a result of, participation in the Activity. If any term of this agreement or the application to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall not be affected thereby, and each and every remaining term of this agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event of any need to enforce this agreement, Middle Tree shall be entitled to its attorney fees and costs. This agreement will be governed by California law, County of Los Angeles. I, the undersigned, state that I am the parent or legal guardian of the Minor. I have fully read and understand the above terms and conditions and that they apply to said Minor and to myself, and that no oral representations, statements or inducements apart from the foregoing written agreement have been made to the undersigned. This document is binding on myself, the said Minor, and any person suing on behalf of said Minor.

As a member, I acknowledge that:

ACADEMICS:
➢ Teachers are not responsible for keeping students entertained. When students are at Middle Tree they will be expected to pursue some
kind of academic benefit.
➢ If your student does not bring his or her textbook and/or class notes he or she may not be able to receive the necessary help to
complete assignments from school.
➢ Students and parents are responsible for keeping track of their own homework assignments, tests, and quizzes.
➢ If your student does not let Middle Tree teachers know about his or her project well in advance of the due date, then your student may
not receive the necessary help.
➢ Middle Tree is not responsible for providing school, art or project supplies.
➢ Students with an IEP or a 504 Plan are encouraged to share it with Middle Tree staff before your student begins. Failure to do so will
almost certainly prevent us from providing your student with the necessary help.
➢ The more communication Middle Tree staff has with parents the better we are able to assist our students.
➢ Test Preparation lessons are for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, SSAT, etc. Preparation for tests over the course of a student’s
normal school year can be handled through the regular membership.
LOGISTICS:
➢ A Middle Tree pledge contract cannot be paused; when pledging to support Middle Tree I am pledging to support a public mission
that budgets around the pledges it receives.
➢ All registrations require a nonrefundable $100 registration fee, which covers matriculation and materials costs.
➢ Test Preparation (SAT, ACT, SSAT, GRE, etc) is billed separately from the general membership.
➢ The SEED (Student Enrichment through Educational Development) program is meant for students who need focused attention.
Billing is assessed separately from the Unlimited membership.
➢ The SHADE program (Summer Hands-on Application Development in Education) is Middle Tree’s summer program and is billed
separately from the general membership.
➢ Supplemental curriculum created outside of general hours will be billed separately from the general membership on an hourly basis.
➢ Unlimited program pledges will renew and be continuous until augmented or canceled regardless of the pledge term (dates noted on
invoice).
➢ Overlays in the Unlimited Program might not be worked on during each visit depending on students’ workload and attendance.
Overlays are a minimal focus and practice throughout the month in reflection on the monthly fee.
➢ Appointments and appointment changes (dates and times) must be made 48 hours in advance or they will not be honored. Limited
courtesy financial credits may be given for scheduled programs (SEED, Test Prep, SHADE, Reboot, College Counseling, Dyslexia) but
frequent appointment changes will result in the session being canceled or an additional fee per hour will be applied. Courtesy credits
renew each semester.
➢ If a student cancels an appointment in less than 48 hours from the appointment time or fails to show up for their appointment, the
appointment will be considered canceled, it will not be rescheduled and no financial credit will be applied.
➢ Students are expected to show up on time for appointments. Appointments will stop at the prescheduled time regardless of whether or
not a student is on time.
➢ If a student is not picked up a half hour after Middle Tree closes and there is no communication with a parent or guardian, a late
pick-up fee will be processed and child services will be contacted.
➢ Any student exhibiting signs of being sick or unwell should not come to Middle Tree and risk exposing other students and staff.
Students who come into Middle Tree with signs such as coughing, sneezing, or a fever will be sent home and their session will be
non-refundable.
➢ Program pledges are non-refundable regardless of student attendance. Cancellations after the 1st of the month will not result in a
refund of that month's pledge.
➢ Cancellation of any program requires a filled out cancellation form and is subject to a cancellation fee. The cancellation fee amount is
dependent on the program being canceled.
➢ All Unlimited memberships can be paused from June 1st to August 31st
