WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS.
In consideration of the services of Mosaic Hall and Dance Center, LLC their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as MDC), I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge MDC, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows.

1. I acknowledge that my participation in aerial arts training and instruction, including acrobatic arts, aerial hoop and other disciplines entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.

The risk include, among other things: exposing its participants to the potential for slips and falls and falling; rope burns; pinches; scrapes, twists and jolts that could result in scratches, bruises, sprains, lacerations, fractures, concussions, or even sever life threatening hazards; strains, sprains, cuts, bruises, muscle soreness and fractures; musculoskeletal injuries including head, neck, and back; injuries to internal organs; the negligence of other people; my own 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. In any event, if you or your child is injured, you or your child may require medical assistance, at your own expense.

Furthermore, MDC employees and volunteers have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of participant’s fitness, medical conditions, 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.

2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risk existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. I also acknowledge and accept the risks and dangers that come with choosing to participate in studio activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, including exposure, illness, injury, or death. I understand that adhering to the studio's new protocols and guidelines will significantly reduce these risks.

3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless MDC from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, including my voluntary participation during the COVID-19 pandemic, or my use of MDC’s equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of MDC’s.

4. Should MDC 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 costs.

5. 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 further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical conditions I may have.

6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against MDC, I agree to do so solely in the state of Michigan, and I further agree that the substantive law of Michigan 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.

7. As additional consideration for the student’s instruction, the undersigned student, parent(s), or guardian(s) of the student hereby releases and waives any and all claims against Mosaic Hall and Dance Center, LLC and any and all of its employees, contractors, and volunteers for any liability including but not limited to personal and bodily injuries (including death) and loss of or damage to property of the student or persons related to the student which may occur while participating in the activities, activities sponsored by, or in the physical building of Mosaic Hall and Dance Center, LLC. The undersigned represents that the student is in good health and does not have any history of a medical or physical condition (unless specified above) that would place the student at risk because of his/her condition. The undersigned further acknowledges that the student’s instruction involves physical exercise and physical stress that could result in physical injury of the student, that the student’s participation is voluntary, and that the undersigned accepts all risks arising therefrom.


By choosing "Yes", I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in the activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against Mosaic Hall and Dance Center, LLC on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.
