On behalf of myself and the Combine Participant, I acknowledge and agree that:
1.The risk of injury and/or loss from participating in Combine Event activities is always present due to the nature of the Combine Event, regardless of the care used, the skill or experience possessed, or the precautions taken by me, the Combine Participant or anyone else, including any of the Released Parties, including High School Combine Inc., the venue operator and/or manager, or others associated with or participate in the Combine Event. I am aware that participation in the Combine Event can cause physical and/or psychological injury, including, but not limited to, serious permanent bodily injury, paralysis, illness and/or death to the Combine Participant or others, and/or damage to my, the Combine Participant’s or others’ belongings. The Combine Participant and I voluntarily elect, with knowledge of the risks involved, for the Combine Participant to participate in the Combine Event.
2. Participating in the Combine Event may expose the Combine Participant to contagious diseases, such as, for example, coronavirus (COVID-19), influenza, and the common cold. These diseases spread easily through person-to-person contact, and may be spread by persons who are not exhibiting any symptoms. These diseases can lead to severe illness, personal injury, permanent disability, and death. Participating in the Combine Event increases the risk of becoming infected and/or ill. I acknowledge and agree that such risks are part of the risks and hazards that the Combine Participant and I assume and release as set forth in this Release.
3.I knowingly and freely accept and assume all risks, damages, and hazards associated, directly or indirectly, with the Combine Participant’s participation in the Combine Event, whether known or unknown, whether caused by the action, inaction, or active or passive negligence of me, any of the other Released Parties, or otherwise.
4.I agree not to make a claim against or sue the Released Parties for, and I release, forever discharge, and will hold harmless the Released Parties, and each of them, from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, rights, causes of action, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from or in connection with any injury, disability, illness, death, or loss or damage to person or property that may be sustained or suffered by me, the Combine Participant, or by any other person as a direct or indirect consequence of the Combine Participant’s participation in the Combine Event, whether caused by the action, inaction or active or passive negligence of me, the Combine Participant, any of the Released Parties, any third parties, or otherwise; provided, however, that this Release does not apply to liability for gross negligence, willful injury or fraud.
5.I hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Released Parties, and each of them, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any third party claim that arises out of or relates to the Combine Participant’s participation in or attendance at the Combine Event. I understand and agree that I am responsible for any and all damages, losses, and expenses incurred by a Released Party arising out of or related to the Combine Participant’s conduct.
6.If I have any concerns regarding the Combine Participant’s readiness for participation in the Combine Event and/or the Combine Event itself, I will remove the Combine Participant from participation and bring such concerns to the attention of the Combine Event staff immediately.
7.If any term or provision of this Release is determined to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid in whole or in part for any reason, such provision shall not affect the legality, enforceability, or validity of any other provision of this Release and such provision shall be reformed and construed so that it will be legal, enforceable, and valid to the maximum extent permitted by law. This Release will survive the completion of the Combine Participant’s participation in the Combine Event and will continue in full force and effect thereafter.
8.I have read this Release carefully and fully understand all its terms and provisions. I have knowingly and voluntarily agreed to this Release understanding the risks to me and the Combine Participant and have done so of my own free will, without relying on any statement or representation of any of the Released Parties. I understand that this Release is the entire agreement between me and the Released Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and that that this Release cannot be modified or changed in any way by oral statements by any of the Released Parties or by the Combine Participant or me. I understand that, in the event of any litigation against the Released Parties, this Release may be raised as a defense and bar to, and as a waiver and release of, legal rights that might otherwise be asserted by me, the Combine Participant, or any of my or the Combine Participant’s heirs, assigns, personal representatives or survivors.
I acknowledge that I have carefully read the above Release of Liability and Indemnity, and that I understand its contents. By providing my initials next to this paragraph, I hereby agree to the Release of Liability and Indemnity.
THIS IS A RELEASE. BY SIGNING BELOW, YOU AND YOUR CHILD WILL WAIVE CERTAIN
LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the parties agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy, arising out of or relating to these Agreement and Release Forms and Rules and Regulations or their breach, enforcement, interpretation or the validity thereof, including the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, and/or any claim relating to Combine Participant’s participation at or in the Combine Event shall be determined solely by final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator. This arbitration obligation will apply to all disputes between Combine Participant and/or his/her/their Parent or Guardian, on the one hand, and HSC, , the entity operating the Combine Event, and the owner of the facility at which the Combine Event is operated (and their respective directors, officers, employees, officials, affiliates, sponsors, hosts, agents, assigns, subsidiaries, owners, partners, and joint venturers), on the other hand. THE PARTIES HERETO UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION HEREUNDER.
Any arbitration shall take place in the County of Douglas, Nebraska, unless the parties mutually agree upon another location.
The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS in accordance with the then existing JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures. A copy of those rules is available on the JAMS website located at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensivearbitration/, and a hard copy can be made available to Parent/Guardian upon request. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
The arbitrator shall have the power to control discovery and to make all other determinations that the parties’ mutual agreement or the then-existing JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures may permit. The arbitrator shall have authority to award monetary damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and any and all remedies that would be available in court, and the arbitrator’s decision of whether or not to award such damages, fees, costs and remedies shall be based on the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and on the statute and/or common law upon which the arbitrated claim(s) is/are based. The parties agree that the arbitrator’s award will be final and binding on both parties.
The parties agree that they may bring claims against one another only in an individual capacity and not as a class representative, member of any purported class, and/or in a collective, representative, or aggregate proceeding. The parties expressly waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the right to bring or participate in, any claim as part of any class, collective, representative or aggregate proceedings. The arbitrator shall not consolidate proceedings involving more than one person’s or entity’s claims and shall not authorize or preside over any form of class, collective, representative, or aggregate proceeding.
If any aspect of this arbitration agreement is found by an arbitrator or a court to be incomplete or unlawful, then that determination will not render any other portion of the provision invalid or unenforceable, and the balance of the provision shall remain in full force and effect.
I acknowledge that I have carefully read the above Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes, and that I understand its
contents. By providing my initials next to this paragraph, I hereby agree to the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes.
