Participant Waiver
This is a waiver and release. Please read it carefully before signing.
I, the undersigned, enter this Release and Waiver of liability and Assumption of Risk Agreement (“Agreement”) on behalf of myself, my personal representatives, next of kin, heirs, successors, and assigns.
I make this Agreement in consideration of the Released Parties providing me with the opportunity to participate as a volunteer in this project.
I understand that the SMILE Parade may include dangerous or hazardous activities that may result in injury or death and that the Project may take place on a location or under conditions that may be dangerous to me.
I accept full personal responsibility for all risks arising from or relating to the SMILE Parade.
My participation in the SMILE Parade is completely voluntary and I have neither received nor expect to receive any compensation for my participation in it.
I agree to read, listen to and follow all safety instructions and procedures presented in conjunction with the SMILE Parade and to use my best judgment based upon my physical and mental abilities at all times, and to immediately terminate participation in the SMILE Parade if activities become too strenuous, difficult or hazardous for me.
I agree that the activities necessary to complete the SMILE Parade have been fully and adequately explained to me and that I am physically and mentally capable of participating in the SMILE Parade without injuring myself in any manner.
I agree to waive all liability of the Released Parties, discharge them, and covenant not to sue them for any liability, claims, sums, costs, or other expenses on my account that may be caused in whole or in part by my participation in the SMILE Parade.
I agree that this Agreement shall act as a complete bar against all actions or claims that I might otherwise bring against the Released Parties, including negligence claims, arising from or related to the SMILE Parade.
I understand that a photographer may be present to photograph the activities at the Parade and that I may be photographed while participating in the SMILE Parade. I agree that I will contact the photographer if I do not wish to be photographed.
I hereby grant the Bridgeton Neighborhood Association (BNA) the irrevocable and unrestricted right to use and publish photographs of me, or in which I may be included. I hereby release Photographer and his/her legal representatives and assigns and BNA from all claims and liability relating to any such photographs.
I make this Agreement for the benefit of BNA, other individual volunteers, project coordinators, sponsors, suppliers, supporters, and all private and public land owners on whose property the project described above may be located (collectively the “Released Parties), including, without limitation, the Released Parties’ employees, agents, personal representatives, next of kin, heirs, successors and assigns.
I have read this Agreement, fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, and have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature. I intend this Agreement to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law, and I further agree that if any portion of this Agreement is held invalid, then the balance of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
