PARTICIPANT WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT 2022
This Release is executed by the participant, or parent/guardian if participant is under the age of 18, and Westmoreland Performing Arts.

I, the undersigned participant, or parent/guardian if the participant is under the age of 18, agree to participate in Programs or Events conducted by Westmoreland Performing Art, outside or inside the studio/theatre or any other designated location for Programs or Events.

I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and other contagious diseases and viruses and voluntarily assume the risk that I and/or my children may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending and participating and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 and other contagious diseases and viruses may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, employees, contractors, volunteers, and program participants and their families.

It is my express intent that this Hold Harmless Agreement shall be deemed as a release, waiver, discharge, and covenant not to sue Westmoreland Performing Arts including but not limited to its Board of Directors, agents, employees, representatives and volunteers.

The undersigned parent/guardian will agree to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify WPA from any cost, loss, or damages of any type, including attorney fees, to the extent that they arise from the contracting of COVID-19 and any related illnesses and costs or expenses related thereto.

The right to cancel without penalty or refund the Programs or Events or any aspect thereof after a building closure or outbreak, requiring that all participants return home if, in the Westmoreland Performing Arts’ sole discretion, it determines or believes that any person is or will be in danger if the Programs or Events or any aspect thereof is continued.
The undersigned acknowledges the right of Westmoreland Performing Arts to withdraw any part of the Programs or Events and to terminate, alter, delete, or modify the Programs or Events as deemed necessary by WPA without penalty or refund, including WPA’s course instructors, program directors, or any other representative of Westmoreland Performing Arts.

CONDUCT

The decision to separate the individual shall be final. I understand that if I am required to leave the Programs or Events, no refund will be made.
