PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY (minor)
I, the parent or legal guardian desire for my child to participate in the iD Tech Camps ("Activity") and, in consideration of him/her being allowed to participate in the Activity, I acknowledge and agree as follows:
1. I understand that I am responsible for my child's own transportation to and from the Rice University camp location at It is my responsibility to confirm the schedule in advance with the Activity's organizers.
2. I am fully informed or otherwise aware of, and fully assume, all risks to person and property in connection with my child's participation in the Activity, including but not limited to property damage and loss, bodily injuries, sickness, disease and death. My child is in sufficient health and able to participate (with or without an accommodation) in the Activity and I will contact the program organizers if there is a need to request an accommodation. I have medical insurance coverage appropriate for my child's participation in the Activity and have provided such insurance coverage information and emergency contact information to Rice University. Neither Rice University nor the Activity are providing any insurance for my child in connection with his/her participation in the Activity.
3. I understand that if my child requires medical treatment while participating in the Activity, an attempt will be made to notify me. In the event that I cannot be contacted, or if contact is impractical under the circumstances, I consent to medical treatment for my child as may be deemed necessary under the circumstances, including but not limited to x-ray examinations, surgery and anesthesia, and I will be responsible for any and all medical expenses.
4. If my child's participation in the Activity is at any time deemed detrimental to the Activity or its other participants, as determined by the Activity's organizers in their sole discretion, I understand that he/she may be expelled from the Activity without Rice University or the organizers incurring any liability.
5. I also grant Rice University the irrevocable right to use my child's image, voice and name in video, photographs and audio recordings of the Activity. I understand that this use may include publication and distribution in printed, electronic and digital media, including but not limited to Rice University brochures, video and television broadcasts, and website, social media and online communications. I also understand that my child will not receive any compensation in connection with this release.
6. I fully and forever RELEASE, WAIVE AND DISCHARGE, and COVENANT NOT TO SUE, Rice University (including, but not limited to, its trustees, employees and representatives) from and for any and all demands, claims, actions, suits, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including but not limited to court costs and attorneys' fees), from any cause whatsoever (including but not limited to property damage and loss, bodily injuries, sickness, disease and death), directly or indirectly arising in connection with my child's participation in the Activity, set up for the Activity, practice for the Activity, or transition to or from the Activity, or use of my child's image, voice or name by Rice University or its employees or independent contractors or the Activity pursuant to the foregoing rights grant, whether or not foreseeable or contributed to by the negligent acts or omissions of Rice University or others.
7. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement about the subject matters it addresses and is governed by the laws of the State of Texas. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, this will not affect any other provision and this Agreement will be construed as if the unenforceable provision had not been incorporated in this Agreement.
