Either the child by him or herself, I by myself, or the child and I together wish to participate in the event. There is no charge to us for our participation.
The event will include transportation to and from the site by private car and/or other transportation means, entry into the site, and activities at the site.
I acknowledge that participation in the various phases of the free event will involve the risk of injuries and damages including but not limited to injuries or damages resulting from car accidents and/or falls and/or other mishaps. Injuries and/or damages could include death, personal injury, property damages, loss of services and other injuries or damages.
I understand that unless I sign this release, including all its terms, on behalf of the child and me, the Variety the Children’s Charity of St. Louis will not allow the child or me to participate in the event.
In order to participate in the event, on behalf of the child and myself, I therefore release the officers, directors, agents, affiliates, sponsors, volunteers, successors, assigns and employees of both the Variety the Children’s Charity of St. Louis and the site, and I release all drivers and owners of all vehicles involved in the transportation of the participants, (collectively “the released parties”), from all liability for injuries or damages resulting from activities connected with the event, to the extent those injuries or damages are result of negligent acts.
I further agree to hold the released parties harmless and to indemnify them against any claims brought against them by third parties due to my actions and/or the child’s actions.
On behalf of the child and myself, I thus hereby release the released parties from all claims for damages or injuries for negligent acts connected with the event. I exclude from the release grossly negligent acts, intentional acts, and acts done with malfeasance. I understand this release is quite broad, but I nevertheless accept its terms.
Should the need arise in the course of the event I also hereby give authority to all representatives of the Variety the Children’s Charity of St. Louis and the site to provide reasonable emergency medical care to the child and/or to me. I release all claims for injuries or damages incurred by me or the child in connection with the delivery of such care in good faith. This release is also a condition of participation in the event.
