Acknowledgement of Risk, Waiver of Liability Regarding Voluntary Participation in In-Person Classes

On behalf of myself and on behalf of my minor child who is enrolled in Artistic Motion's Summer Program and attending in-person classes, as his/her parent and/or legal guardian, my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns fully acknowledge, understand, and agree to the following:

1. COVID-19 and related infections and conditions, including MRSA, are extremely contagious and inherently present a risk to those individuals who participate in group activities and programs, which risks are unavoidable. The global COVID-19 pandemic and community spread of COVID-19 in Greensboro, NC, likewise inherently present a risk to participants in group activities and programs as well as members of their household.

2. It is our duty to fully inform my minor child of the numerous risks and potential dangers associated with COVID-19 and related conditions, including SUFFERING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH AND EXPOSING OTHERS (including members of my child's household) TO COVID-19 or other infectious disease, including but not limited to MRSA.

3. My child's PERSONAL SAFETY CANNOT BE GUARANTEED.

4. My child's participation in in-person classes/programs is completely voluntary, and I believe and have determined that I am willing to and assume the risk of my child participating in these activities, including specifically the known risk and danger associated with COVID-19 and related conditions.

5. I hereby release and hold harmless Davison, LLC dba Artistic Motion, its trustees, officers, administrators, employees, volunteers, and sponsors (the "Releasees") from legal liability and any and all actions, suits, damages, claims or judgments for damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), that may result from any personal injury, illness, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, or any other claim demand, action or right of actions of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, whether related to COVID-19 or otherwise regardless of fault, whether arising from the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

6. I agree that this Release and Waiver of Liability is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by law and that if any portion of it is held invalid by an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction, the balance shall, not withstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.

7. I understand and agree that I will abide by all applicable requirements of the City of Greensboro, the County of Guilford, and the State of North Carolina, with respect to any ordinance, order, or other law regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, whenever issued.

8. I understand that my child will be asked to complete a short screening form each time they enter the studio. I also understand that my child may be sent home in the event of even mild symptoms, and that classes may cease temporarily in the event of notification of a positive COVID-19 case. I further understand that I must notify Davison, LLC dba Artistic Motion if my child or a member of my child's household test positive for COVID-19 and that Davison, LLC dba Artistic Motion may share this information with government agencies, its staff, it s independent contractors, and individuals potentially exposed to COVID-19.

9. I understand that at any time health and safety protocols may require a temporary suspension of in-person classes/programs, and that my child may be excluded from in-person classes/programs due to a positive COVID-19 test, symptoms of COVID-19, potential exposure, or other necessary precautions.

10. I understand what is considered to be a high risk factor(s) for the COVID-19 virus. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to assess my own risk factors, and the risk factors for my child, and make a decision whether I and/or my child can safely enter the Artistic Motion studios and participate in in-person classes/programs.

11. I have read and voluntarily signed the Agreement, and further agree that no oral representations, statements, or inducements apart from the foregoing written agreement have been made.

12. I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor child listed below:

I hereby release Artistic Motion, its members, agents and volunteers of all liability. I agree that I am absolving and releasing others from liability from their own negligent acts, even if I am not at fault in any way. In consideration of my/my child's participation in classes or other activities at or associated with Artistic Motion, I agree to assume full responsibility for them, their heirs, executors, and administrators, waive and release and forever discharge any and all rights and claims for damages which they may have or which occur to them, for all damages which may be sustained and suffered by them in connection with their association with or entry into center activities or which may arise out of their participation in these activities. I expressly assume all of the risks inherent in these activities including studio person to person classes and online classes.

I agree that enrollment, participation, and/or attendance at any Artistic Motion School of Arts and its affiliates, Artistic Motion Preparatory Academy & Artistic Motion Company (all hereafter referred to as AMSA) sponsored regularly scheduled class, Master Class, event, performance, camp, program, and/or rehearsal, including private instruction, authorizes AMSA to have the unrestricted right and license to take photos and videos of me and my dependent, and use image, likeness, name, voice, or comment for use in brochures, flyers, documents, displays, press releases, other AMSA publications and media material, on the AMSA website(s), and on AMSA social networking sites. AMSA will not use the aforementioned upon written request. If I submit a written request, I understand and agree that only regularly scheduled classes, Master Classes, and private instruction will be available for participation.

I agree that tuition is due the 1st of each month, September - May. Accounts where payments not received by the 15th of each month will incur a $25 late fee and the total balance due for the month will be charged to the card on file.
*Students may not participate in class if accounts are not current.
*Returned checks will result in a Returned Check Fee of $25.00.
*No refunds are given on classes missed due to inclement weather or emergency closings of the school.
*Tuition rates will be prorated if students register for classes for a term that is already underway.
*No student will be admitted to class after the 15th of the month if his/her account is not current.
*Delinquent accounts must be settled before a student may register for a new session/semester or attend production/performance rehearsals.
-Refunds are not given for missed classes due to illness or injury. Dancers are encouraged to attend class and observe if not able to participate and may take makeup classes for classes missed.
*Costumes will be given to dancers only after all fees are paid.

I agree that I, or my dancer will be on time for class. I understand that attendance will be monitored and excessive absences may result in dismissal from performance opportunities and can affect advancement to the next level.
Student Class Make-up Policy
*Students may make up a missed class by attending another class of the SAME LEVEL OR A LOWER LEVEL.
* Students and or parents must call and pre-arrange a make-up class so the instructor may be prepared.
* A make-up class may be scheduled in advance of the excused absence.
* Missed classes do not accrue from one semester to the next semester.
* Missed classes not made up will be lost classes.
* Tuition will not be refunded for unattended classes or classes that are not made up.
* Students must check in and let the instructor of the class know they are attending the class as a make-up class.
* AMSA cannot add additional classes or extend the calendar school year to make up for classes missed due to inclement weather or emergency/unexpected school closings. Any classes missed due to the previously mentioned circumstances should be made up as a missed class.
* AMSA reserve the right to require a student to take a private lesson, at the posted studio fee, for having two consecutive absences in a class.

Students with prolonged absences due to illness or injury must bring a doctor's note upon returning to class stating student has recovered medically
and is physically healthy enough to return to class. Student may then resume his/her regular schedule of classes.

Students should make every effort to make up all missed classes. Students missing more than 10 percent of their enrolled classes, and NOT making up those classes may result in the student not being promoted to the next level and/or not being able to perform.

I agree that I, or my dancer, will follow the dress code policy as outlined in the AMSA/AMPA Policy Statement for my specific class.

I agree to pay the Administrative Fee of $40.00 per first student and $20.00 for second , third, children in family upon registration in the Fall semester. New students will pay the Administrative Fee of $40.00 per first student and $20.00 for second, third, children upon registering in the Spring.
Administrative Fee is not refundable

I agree that the Performance Fee of $50.00/ first child, $25.00 second/third child will be paid in the Spring semester if my child is participating in the Spring Performance/Spring Production.
Performance Fee is non-refundable.

I agree to the following Production Policy
Students at the higher levels are required to attend all warm-up classes scheduled before rehearsals and performances. NOT attending warm-up
classes may hinder the student's eligibility to be cast in different pieces or in a particular role. The teacher reserves the right to ask the student to sit
and observe the rehearsals only. This is for the safety of our students. It is very important for students to warm up their muscles properly to prevent
potential injury. If a student must absolutely miss a warm-up class, it is the responsibility of the student to inform the teacher and to arrive as early
as possible to properly warm up before being allowed to dance.
Students are expected to notify the school as soon as possible if you find you will be unable to attend any scheduled rehearsals. Again, the only
excused absences include: illness, required school event, observance of a religious holiday, or family emergency. Students with injuries are
expected to attend and observe class and rehearsals.
* The Artistic Director and AMSA/AMPA faculty make all decisions concerning casting, choreography, and costuming.
* Casting is done by auditions, class observation, and rehearsal observation.
* Students who DO NOT attend all assigned rehearsals will be dropped from the cast except in some cases of absence due to illness, injury, observance of religious holidays, required school functions, auditions, or family emergencies.
* A Costume Deposit of $30.00 will be invoiced on October 1. This deposit will be deducted from total costume fees due in April.
* AMSA must receive, in writing, notification that your child will not be performing no later than the second Monday in February. After that time, a costume will be ordered for your child and you will be billed for that costume.
* Students and parents are responsible for checking and noting their own rehearsal schedules, as well as any updates and changes posted.
* Dancers in productions must pay a costume fee which will be designated as a "PURCHASE" or "RENTAL." Both PUCHASED and RENTAL costumes do not include shoes and tights. RENTAL costume fees include maintenance, alterations, repairs, and cleaning expenses.
* RENTAL costumes must be returned or a PURCHASE fee will be added to the student's invoice.

I agree to the Rules and Regulations for AMSA/AMPA as outlined in the Policy Statement.
