I, the undersigned, am over 18 years of age (or, if under 18, with the approval of my parent/guardian) and fully understand that participation in certain Colburn School events is a requirement of my enrollment in the Colburn School Conservatory of Music. Such events include but are not limited to rehearsals and concerts at off-campus venues. I understand that participation in these Events exposes me to the possibility and risk of personal injury, and I knowingly assume these risks. If I am using transportation arranged by or provided through the Colburn school, I understand that the school is not responsible for any injury or accident that might occur during the travel to, from and with respect to the Event. I further realize that the risks involved in my participation could lead to a wide range of injuries from minor to severe, including, but not limited to, the following: physical injury (including sprains, fractures, scrapes, bruises, or other more serious injuries including paralysis or other permanent disability), headaches, breathing difficulty, food poisoning, allergic reactions, contracted illnesses, or other injuries or accidents. I knowingly and freely agree to accept these risks as a condition of my participation. I understand that the Colburn School does not require me to participate in these activities, and that to do so is my choice, despite the risks and dangers.
In the event of injury or hospitalization, I hereby authorize medical personnel to discuss my condition with a representative of the Colburn School.
I agree for myself, my heirs, administrators, executor and employees to hereby release, hold harmless and indemnify, including cost of defense, the Colburn School, its officers, Board of Directors, employees, agents and related parties, from any and all liability for any loss, injury or damage, including without limitation, any claim for personal injuries resulting from or arising out of the negligence of the Colburn School in connection with my participation in the Event listed above.
I acknowledge that I sign this Liability, Risk Acknowledgement and Claims Release Form with full knowledge of California Civil Code Section 1542 which reads:
"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."
The provisions of this stature are hereby waived. I have carefully read this Liability, Risk Acknowledgement and Claims Release Form and know and understand its contents. I understand it is a full release of all liability and I sign it of my own free will. I, the undersigned, also understand that this agreement is valid for the full academic year in which it is signed.
