I certify that I, the member, or I, the parent/guardian of said participant (s), give my consent to the North Iowa Figure Skating Club and the facility the activities are taking place in and their staff, and to members of the North Iowa Figure Skating Club, their Board of Directors and volunteers to obtain medical care from any licensed physician, hospital, or clinic, including transportation and emergency medical services, for myself/ourselves and/or said participant (s) for any injury that could arise from participation in these activities.

COVID-19 is a highly communicable virus that can cause severe respiratory illness, sometimes leading to death. Protecting our skaters, families, coaches, arena staff, and guests is our number one priority. With that priority in mind, NIFSC and MCYH are taking numerous steps to reduce the potential spread in this facility. Some of these steps include enhanced cleaning and sanitation procedures as well as comprehensive physical distancing protocols. Even with these precautions in place, NIFSC and MCYH along with the arena staff cannot eliminate all risk associated with COVID-19.

I, the minor's parent and/or legal guardian, understand the nature of the figure skating activities and the minor's experience and capabilities and believe the minor to be qualified to participate in such "activity". I hereby release, discharge, covenant not to sue, and agree to indemnify and save and hold harmless each of the releases from all liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages on the minor's account cause of alleged to have been caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the releases or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations, and further agree that if, despite this release, I the minor, or anyone on the minor's behalf makes a claim against any of the above releases, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless each of these releases from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss liability, damage, or cost any releases may incur as the result of any such claims.

From time to time, photos will be taken of skaters, skate activities, etc. The club reserves the right to use these photos for new releases, posting on the club's website (including Facebook), club-related video and slide presentation, and other marketing purposes. The club will allow members of the media to take pictures of skaters, events, and other activities for publication. At times photographers/ and/or videographers will take photo's and video for resale, as well as make them available to skaters and parents. The club feels these are legitimate opportunities for skaters to be in the "lime light" and also promote the club. The club needs you to grant or decline your permission for you (as a skater) and/or your child/children's photo(s) to be used as described above.

In Consideration of participating in North Iowa Figure Skating Club (NIFSC) and Learn to Skate activities, I represent that I understand the nature of figure skating activities, ("activity") and that I am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such "activity". I acknowledge that if I believe event conditions are unsafe, I will immediately discontinue participation in the "activity". I fully understand that this "activity" involves risks of serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis, and death, which may be caused by my own actions, or inaction, those of others participating in the "activity", the conditions in which the "activity" takes place, or the negligence of the "releases" named below, and that there may be other risks either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I fully accept and assume all such risks and all responsibility for losses, costs, and damages I incur as a result of my participation in the "activity".

I herby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue the North Iowa Figure Skating Club, United States Figure Skating, its directors, officers, administrators, sponsors, volunteers, agents, employees, staff, instructors, trainers, other participants, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises on which the losses, or damages on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the "releases" or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations; and I further agree that if, despite this release, waiver of liability and assumption of risk I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim against any of the releases, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless each of the releases from any loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as the result of such claim.

The North Iowa Figure Skating Club has the right, but not the obligation, to provide rules, regulations, and/or ice monitors for Club Ice. We hereby acknowledge that the North Iowa Figure Skating Club shall not be responsible for the supervision of the members at Club Ice.

I have read this Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, have signed it freely and without any inducement of assurance of any nature, intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law, and agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid, the balance, notwithstanding, shall continue in full force and effect.
