LIABILITY RELEASE, WAIVER, DISCHARGE AND CONVENANT NOT TO SUE
This Release is made by me to Southeastern Oklahoma State University.
1. My desire to participate in Southeastern Oklahoma State University Cheer Practice, (the “Activity”). I fully recognize that there are dangers, hazards, and risk inherent in the Activity, in the transportation to and from the Activity, and in any independent activities I undertake in addition to the Activity, which also could include serious or even mortal injuries and property damage.
2. I understand that Southeastern Oklahoma State University (SE) does not require me to participate in this Activity, but I want to do so, despite the possible dangers and risks and despite this Release. I certify that I am physically and mentally able to participate in the Activity, that I will follow all appropriate safety precautions, and that I will comply with all applicable laws, rules, policies, and instructions.
3. I therefore voluntarily agree to assume and take on myself all the risks and responsibilities in any way associated with this Activity. In consideration of and return for services, facilities, and other assistance provided to me by SE in this Activity, I release SE, its governing board, officers, agents, employees, and any students acting as employees (the “Releasees”), from and against any and all liability, claims, demands and actions that may arise from injury or harm to me, from my death or from damage to my property in connection with this Activity. I understand that this Release covers liability, claims and actions caused entirely or in part by any acts or failures to act of SE, including but not limited to negligence, mistake, or failure to supervise by SE.
4. I understand and agree that Releasees do not have medical personnel available at the location of the Activity or on the campus. I understand and agree that Releasees are granted permission to authorize emergency medical treatment, if necessary, and that such action by Releasees shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. I understand and agree that Releasees assume no responsibility for any injury or damage which might arise out of or in connection with such authorized emergency medical treatment.
5. I acknowledge that SE does not carry life, health or accident insurance on me. SE has advised me that I will be responsible for any medical charges which I may incur if I am injured during the Activity and that SE has encouraged me to secure my own such insurance.
6. I recognize that this Release means I am giving up, among other things, rights to sue Releasees for injuries, damages, or loses I may incur. I also understand that this Release binds my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, as well as myself.
7. I have read this entire Release; I fully understand it; I agree to be legally bound by it; I voluntarily sign it as my own free act and deed; and no oral representations, statements, or inducements apart from the foregoing agreement
