Liability Waiver and Release Agreement
This Liability Waiver and Release Agreement ("Agreement") is enforceable under the laws of the State of Idaho and applies to all dance classes, activities, and events hosted by Dance Now ("Studio"). By signing this Agreement, I, the undersigned, or as the parent/legal guardian of the minor participant, agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Voluntary Participation
I understand that participation in dance activities at Dance Now is voluntary and involves risks, including but not limited to sprains, fractures, and other physical injuries. By enrolling myself or my child in Studio activities, I voluntarily assume all risks, whether foreseen or unforeseen, related to these activities.
2. Assumption of Risk
I acknowledge the inherent risks associated with physical activity, including but not limited to injury from falls, contact with other participants, equipment failure, or improper technique. I expressly assume all risks of injury, damage, or harm arising out of my or my child’s participation in Studio classes, events, or other related activities, including those arising from negligence on the part of the Studio.
3. Medical Treatment and Responsibility
In the event of a medical emergency, I authorize Dance Now and its representatives to seek medical treatment for the participant as deemed necessary. I agree that I am financially responsible for any medical care or treatment provided as a result of injuries sustained during participation in Studio activities.
4. Release of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Idaho law, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Dance Now, its owners, instructors, employees, or agents from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, or causes of action that may arise from participation in any Studio activity, including personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.
5. Idaho Law Compliance
I understand that this waiver is governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, and any disputes or claims will be resolved in Idaho courts under Idaho law. If any portion of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by a court, the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect.
6. Unattended Children Clause
I understand that the Studio is not a daycare facility. If I choose to leave my child at the Studio during class or rehearsal, I do so at my own risk. Dance Now is not responsible for supervising children before or after scheduled class times. If a parent or guardian is late in picking up a child, the Studio reserves the right to charge additional fees for extended supervision.
7. Intoxicated Parent/Guardian Policy
For the safety of all children, Dance Now reserves the right to refuse to release a minor child to a parent or guardian who appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In such cases, the Studio will attempt to contact an alternate emergency contact as provided, or the Studio may notify local authorities if necessary. I understand that this policy is in place to protect the safety of the child and others.
