2. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. Participation in the activities and use of the equipment at the STUDIO is purely voluntary and constitutes physical activities that may result in serious injury and/or property damage to PARTICIPANTS and/or third parties. HOOLEY implements safety measures; however, all safety risks cannot be eliminated. RELEASING PARTIES hereby assume the risk of personal injury or death, damage to property, and injury to third parties that arise out of or relate in any way to PARTICIPANTS’ past, present or future use of the equipment, any of the other facilities at the STUDIO and participation in the activities at the STUDIO. Additionally, dancers who join class ONLINE are responsible for their own safety and assume the risk of dancing at their own location.

3. POLICIES / PROCEDURES. RELEASING PARTIES acknowledge that they have been provided with a copy of HOOLEY’s current policies and procedures for participation of PARTICIPANT at the STUDIO and that HOOLEY’s policies and procedures may change without notice at any time. Should any policy and/or procedure change, HOOLEY will provide ADULT with a copy of the updated policies and procedures within a reasonable time after the new policy and/or procedure has been implemented by HOOLEY. RELEASING PARTIES understand and acknowledge that compliance with HOOLEY’s policies and procedures is a condition precedent for PARTICIPANT’s enrollment, participation in the activities, use of the equipment and any of the other facilities at the STUDIO.

4. PHOTOGRAPH RELEASE. I grant RELEASED PARTIES the right to take and use photographs of PARTICIPANTS with or without his/her name and for any lawful purpose, including but not limited to publicity, illustration, advertising, and website content so long as such photographs is used in connection with HOOLEY. If I do not wish to grant this permission to Hooley School, I understand that at the time of registration I will need to separately submit a Public Photos Opt-Out, and in doing so Hooley School will not publish any individual photos of my child. The Public Photos Opt-Out does not prevent my child from appearing in group photos from class or of public performances that my child chooses to participate in, which can still be shared online.

5. COVID-19 RELEASE. As with the transmission of any communicable disease like a cold or the flu, you may be exposed to COVID-19, also known as the “Coronavirus”, at any time or in any place. Be assured that HOOLEY has followed state and federal regulations to limit transmission of all diseases and will continue to do so. Despite our careful attention to sterilization, disinfection, and use of personal barriers, there is still a chance that you could be exposed to an illness in the STUDIO. Social distancing has reduced the transmission of Coronavirus. Although we have taken several measures to provide social distancing and contactless participation, please know that participation at HOOLEY instructional classes is at your own risk.

I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and next of kin HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS HOOLEY their officers, officials, agents, and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event (“RELEASEES”), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
