I allow my child to participate in the National Dance Institute (NDI) 2024 Summer Dance and Music Program (July 29 - Aug 9th), including pre-program orientation (June 6th), daily classes and a culminating performance. I further authorize the making and use (in all media now known or hereinafter created) by NDI and its contractors and sublicensees of any photographs, images, videos, films, and audio or other recordings (“Images”) of me/my child in connection with the NDI programs for any purpose in furtherance of NDI’s mission, fundraising or promotional activities without compensation to my child or me. I acknowledge and agree that Images of me/my child may be placed on the Internet. I understand and agree that I/my child may be identified by name in connection with such Images. I waive the right to approve the final product or any use of the Images.
I understand my child may be dismissed permanently from the NDI program if my child does not follow the rules set by the NDI Staff; if a disciplinary problem arises; or if the NDI staff determines that my child cannot meet the demands of the program, in which case I will be informed accordingly.
I understand that my child will be under the supervision of NDI staff and appointees, but that despite the responsible supervision that NDI will make in this connection, NDI is not an insurer of my child's health or safety. NDI cannot guarantee against the possibility of accident or illness involving my child. I understand that by participating in NDI programs, my child may be at risk of injury as a result of physical activity and accept all risks associated with participation. In consideration of NDI permitting my child to participate in NDI’s program, I hereby on behalf of myself, my child, my child’s other parent/guardian(s) if any, and any of my, our or their heirs, agents, executors, administrators, and assigns waive, release and forever discharge NDI and its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors and sublicensees (collectively, the “NDI Parties”) from any and all demands, claims, damages, actions and causes of action that might be made against the NDI Parties in connection with my child’s participation in the NDI programs, including but not limited to any injury (to property or person, up to and including death) or illness my child may incur not involving gross negligence of NDI, and/or any use of the Images.
I understand that as a result of executing this release, I and we will be forever barred from suing the NDI Parties in connection with my child’s participation in NDI’s programs. This release is intended to be as broad as legally possible and shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York; if any provision is declared invalid, the remaining provisions shall be enforceable. In the event that any serious injury should occur involving my child, I wish NDI to take all appropriate steps to notify me immediately of the event, but, if I am inaccessible for any reason, I authorize whatever medical attention is deemed appropriate for my child.
