In consideration of the services of Honey's School of Dance, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, independent contractors, volunteers, interns, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (from now on collectively referred to as "HSD"), I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge HSD, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:
I acknowledge that my or my minors participation in dance training and instruction, including dance, gymnastics, and other various disciplines, entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or third parties. I understand that HSD cannot eliminate such risk without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.
The risks include, among other things: slips and falls; falling from equipment; burns; pinches, scrapes, twists, and jolts that could result in scratches, bruises, sprains, lacerations, fractures, concussions, or even more severe life-threatening hazards; strains, cuts, bruises, muscle soreness, and fractures; musculoskeletal injuries including head, neck, and back; injuries to internal organs; the negligence of other people; my physical condition; and the risk of emotional and psychological injuries or physical damage associated with this activity. Traveling to and from shows, meets, and exhibitions raises the possibility of any manner of transportation accidents. If you or your minor is injured, you or your minor may require medical assistance at your own expense.
Furthermore, HSD employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant's fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather or other environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.
I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. I or my minor participate in this activity voluntarily, and I elect to participate or let my minor participate despite the risks.
I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless HSD from any claims, demands, or causes of action that are in any way connected with my or my minors participation in this activity or my use of HSD's equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of HSD.
Should HSD or anyone acting on their behalf be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and expenses.
I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have.
In the event that I file a lawsuit against HSD, I agree to do so solely in the state of Florida. I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining document shall remain in full force and effect.
By acknowledging this waiver, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against HSD based on any claim from which I have released them herein.
In consideration of my minor being permitted by HSD to participate in its activities and to use its equipment and facilities, I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless HSD from any claims which are brought by, or on behalf of Minor, and which are in any way connected with such use or participation by Minor.
I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it and agree to be bound by its terms.
