result of my participation in the aforementioned Activity, including traveling to and from an
event related to this Activity. If any child, ward, or other person for whom I stand in loco
parentis participates in the Activity, I consent to this Waiver and Release of Liability on behalf

I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE INJURIES OR OUTCOMES MAY ARISE FROM MY OWN
OR OTHERS’ NEGLIGENCE (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE NEGLIENCE
OF THE RELEASED PARTIES’ THEMSELVES), CONDITIONS RELATED TO TRAVEL,

provision of this WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY to be invalid or unenforceable, but
that by limiting said provision it would become valid and enforceable, then said provision shall
be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.

acknowledge that engaging in any Activity at LIATRIS DANCE CENTER LLC, could increase
