I represent that I am at least 18 years of age and have read and understand the previous statement. I acknowledge that participation in the activities described above involves risk to the Participant and to Participant's parents or guardians, and may result in various types of injury including, but not limited to, the following: sickness, bodily injury, death, emotional injury, injury, property damage and financial damage. In consideration for the opportunity to participate in the activities described above (the "Activities"), the parent or guardian acknowledges and accepts the risks of injury associated with participation in and transportation to and from the Activities. The parent or guardian accepts personal financial responsibility for any injury or other loss sustained during the activities or during transportation to and from the activities, as well as for any medical treatment rendered to the participant that is authorized by the sponsor or its agents, employees, volunteers, or any other representatives (collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Activities Sponsor"). Further the parent or guardian releases and promises to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Activities Sponsor for any injury arising directly or indirectly out of the described Activities or transportation to and from the Activities, whether such injury arises out of the negligence of the Activity Sponsor, the Participant, or otherwise. If a dispute over this agreement or any claim or damages arises, the parent or guardian agrees to resolve the matter through a mutually acceptable alternative dispute resolution process. If the parent or guardian and the Activity Sponsor cannot agree upon such a process, the dispute will be submitted to a three member arbitration panel for resolution pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
