In consideration of my participation, I hereby release and covenant not-to-sue Flo's Gymnastics Plus, Inc. the Flo's Gymnastics Plus, Inc. Board of Directors and Officers, the Flo's Cheerleading Academy Parent Organization (FCAPO), and any of their employees, teachers, coaches, or agents, volunteers from any and all present and future claims resulting from ordinary negligence on the part of Flo's Gymnastics Plus, Inc. or others listed for property damage, personal injury, or wrongful death, arising as a result of my engaging in or receiving instruction in gymnastics, cheerleading or any other activities or any activities incidental thereto, wherever, whenever, or however the same may occur. I hereby voluntarily waive any and all claims resulting from ordinary negligence, both present and future, which may be made by me, my family, estate, heirs or assigns.
Further, I am aware that gymnastics and cheerleading are vigorous sporting activities involving height and rotation in a unique environment and as such they pose a risk of injury. I understand that gymnastics, cheerleading and related activities always involve certain risks, including but not limited to death, serious neck and spinal injuries resulting in complete or partial paralysis, brain damage, and serious injury to virtually all bones, joints, muscles, and internal organs, and that the mats and other equipment such as Air Trak, Air Floor, Tumbl Trak, Bounce House(s) and apparatus provided for my protection, including the active participation of a coach or teacher who will spot or assist in the performance of certain skills, may be inadequate to prevent serious injury. The risk of harm may be limited by all of the safety equipment and trained coaches, but never, eliminated. I understand that participation in gymnastics, cheerleading, and related activities involves activities incidental to active participation in gymnastics, including moving from event to event, conditioning, stretching and other activities which may leave me vulnerable to the reckless actions of other participants who may not have complete control over their actions or who may not see other students in the gym. I am voluntarily participating in this activity with knowledge of the risks involved and hereby agree to accept any and all inherent risks of property damage, personal injury, or death.
I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Flo's Gymnastics Plus, Inc. and Flo's Cheerleading Academy (FCA) and all others listed for any and all claims resulting of my engaging in or receiving instruction in Flo's Gymnastics Plus, Inc. and Flo's Cheerleading Academy (FCA) activities or any activities incidental thereto, whenever, wherever, or however the same may occur.
I understand that this waiver is intended to be as broad and as inclusive as permitted by the laws of the state of Pennsylvania and agree that if any portion is held invalid, the remainder of the waiver will continue in full legal force and effect. I further agree that the venue for any legal proceedings shall be within the state of Pennsylvania.
I affirm that I am of legal age and am freely signing this agreement. I have read this form and fully understand that by signing this form, I am giving up legal rights and or remedies which may be available to me for the ordinary negligence of Flo's Gymnastics Plus, Inc. and Flo's Cheerleading Academy (FCA) or any person listed above. As a legal guardian, I hereby agree to individually provide for any possible future medical expenses, which may be incurred by my child as a result of any injury sustained while training at or performing at or for Flo's Gymnastics Plus, Inc. and Cheerleading Academy (FCA).
The undersigned gives permission to Flo's Gymnastics Plus, Inc and Flo's Cheerleading Academy (FCA), its owners, staff and operators to seek medical treatment for the participant in the event they are not able to reach a parent or guardian. I hereby declare any physical/mental problems, restrictions, or condition and/or declare the participant to be in good physical and mental health. I understand that my child is covered under my own family's medical insurance coverage and that if I do not carry or have medical coverage, I am completely responsible for all medical bills.
I further understand that Flo's Gymnastics Plus, Inc. and Flo's Cheerleading Academy (FCA) may take and use photographs of my family members during class, recitals, parties, and competitions for commercial purposes without further compensation to my child or myself.
I realize that I am enrolling my child until the end of the session. I understand that a letter is required to withdraw my child(ren) and refunds may not be given.
