I, the Parent, in consideration for my child's participation in the Event, indemnify, release, forever discharge, and hold harmless the Releasee and its successors and assigns from any and all liability, claims, and demands of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, that are made against the Releasee by or on behalf of my child which may arise from the events hosted by the Releasee that my child participates in, whether the claim is based on negligence or fault of the Releasee or otherwise. I understand and acknowledge that this Indemnity Agreement discharges the Releasee from any liability or claim that my child may have against the Releasee with respect to bodily injury, personal injury, illness (including COVID-19), death, or property damage that may result from my child's participation in the Event.

Further I understand that FoKLSS does not assume any responsibility for or obligation to provide me with financial or other assistance, including but not limited to medical, health or disability benefits or insurance of any nature in the event of my child's injury, illness, death or damage to my child's property. I expressly waive any such claim for compensation or liability on the part of FOKLSS beyond what may be offered freely by FoKLSS in the event of such injury or medical expenses incurred by my child.

Medical Treatment:

I hereby release and forever discharge the Releasee from any claim whatsoever which arises or may hereafter arise on account of any first-aid treatment or other medical services rendered in connection with an emergency during my child's tenure as a participant in the Event hosted by the Releasee.
