I knowingly and voluntarily assume, on behalf of my child and myself, all risks associated with participation in the Program, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, including those arising from the negligence of the Woodstock Police Service and its officers, employees, volunteers, agents, representatives, sponsors, and partners (collectively referred to as the “Releasees”). I agree that my child will comply with all rules, instructions, and safety requirements established by Program organizers. I understand that failure to follow such rules may result in removal from the Program. If I become aware of any significant hazard or unsafe condition affecting my child or other participants, I will immediately notify a Program official. On behalf of myself, my child, my heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and next of kin, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, or injuries of any kind, including death, property damage, or personal injury, arising from or related to my child’s participation in the Program, whether caused by the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
