Emergency Release Form

Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity and Legal Guardian Consent Agreement

This Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity, and Legal Guardian Consent Agreement ('Release') is effective at the time of signing between Sculpture School (‘Sculpture School'), the minor you are signing on behalf of ('the Minor), and the parent or legal guardian of Minor ('Legal Guardian' or 'I' or 'we')..

In consideration of the consent of Sculpture School to provide programming Time and Activities (as defined below) to Minor, the Legal Guardian and Minor freely and voluntarily agree to the following terms and conditions which are intended to survive the termination of the relationship between Minor and Legal Guardian on the one hand, and Sculpture School on the other, regarding programming.

Time and Activities

Legal Guardian understands that Minor's time and activities with Sculpture School at Knoll Farm may include, but are not limited to, running, climbing, playing, creating artwork, construction activities, loading and unloading of equipment and materials (collectively, 'Time and Activities'). 

Construction activities require the use of various tools, some inherently dangerous, including but not limited to, hand tools, power tools, high torque tools, and bladed tools. Construction activities may also involve carrying heavy supplies and using electronics, including but not limited to, batteries, lumber, and recyclables. Tools that may be used more rarely under stricter supervision may include, but are not limited to, welders, miter saws, bandsaws, and circular saws. 

Time and Activities include Minor's direct participation in Sculpture School's planned activities as well as any time that Minor is under general supervision of Sculpture School.

Release and Waiver

MINOR AND LEGAL GUARDIAN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY EACH RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE AND RELINQUISH SCULPTURE SCHOOL, KNOLL FARM, SCULPTURE SCHOOL AND KNOLL FARM'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, VOLUNTEERS AND EMPLOYEES (COLLECTIVELY 'THE RELEASEES') FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS AND DEMANDS, INJURIES (INCLUDING DEATH), PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGES INCLUDING LEGAL FEES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHICH ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO MINOR'S TIME AND ACTIVITIES AT SCULPTURE SCHOOL'S PROGRAM AS A RESULT OF THE SOLE, JOINT, OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY OF SCULPTURE SCHOOL, KNOLL FARM, SCULPTURE SCHOOL AND KNOLL FARM'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, VOLUNTEERS AND EMPLOYEES, OR ANYONE ELSE. I COVENANT NOT TO SUE, AND WAIVE, RELEASE AND DISCHARGE THE RELEASEES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OF LIABILITY OR EXPENSES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO MINOR'S PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMMING.

Minor and Legal Guardian each release, discharge and hold harmless Sculpture School and Knoll Farm from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, injuries (including death), or damages including legal fees, costs, and expenses that may be sustained by Minor and/or Legal Guardian while receiving first-aid treatment and /or medical care or in deciding to seek medical care, travel to and from a medical care facility, and including injuries sustained as a result of the sole, joint, or concurrent negligence or strict liability of Sculpture School or the Releasees.

Assumption of the Risk and Indemnification

While activities will include safety lessons and proper use instructions, participation in certain activities carry with it certain risks. Minor and Legal Guardian each understand that Minor's experience at Sculpture School’s programs may involve inherently dangerous and/or messy activities and Minor and Legal Guardian choose to voluntarily participate and allow Minor to participate in these activities with the full knowledge that the activity may be hazardous to Minor or Legal Guardian's person or property, as well as the person and property of others. Minor and Legal Guardian each know of no medical, physical or psychological reason why Minor should not participate in the activities of Sculpture School, and that it is Legal Guardian and/or Minor's responsibility to inform Sculpture School of any medical, physical or psychological reason ahead of Time and Activities participation. I understand that Minor should not participate in some, and/or all of the Time and Activities if he/she is not healthy. Minor and Legal Guardian understand that Minor must comply with all rules and regulations of Sculpture School and Knoll Farm. Minor and Legal Guardian each expressly assume the risk of injury or harm arising from or relating to Time and Activities of Sculpture School at Knoll Farm, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, specifically including but without limitation, the risk of physical or mental or emotional injury, minor or severe bodily harm, illness, and/or death.

Minor and Legal Guardian each agree that if any person makes a claim against Sculpture School, Knoll Farm, Sculpture School and Knoll Farms's officers, managers, agents, and employees on behalf of Minor or Legal Guardian, Minor and Legal Guardian agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sculpture School, Knoll Farm, Sculpture School and Knoll Farm's officers, managers, agents, and employees from any claim, including without limitation, loss, liability, damage, settlement, expense or cost, including attorney's fees, arising out of or relating to Minor's participation in Sculpture School.

Consent for Medical Treatment

Minor and Legal Guardian each consent to medical treatment that may be required for Minor, as determined by a medical professional, during Minor's participation at Sculpture School. Minor and Legal Guardian further understand that the cost of any such treatment shall be the responsibility of Legal Guardian even if Sculpture School has signed documentation promising to pay for the treatment if and when Legal Guardian is unable to sign the documentation for treatment and payment. 

Minor and Legal Guardian each understand that Sculpture School and Knoll Farm do not assume any responsibility for, or obligation to provide, financial assistance or other assistance to Minor, including but not limited to medical, health, or disability insurance in the event of injury, illness, death or property damage.

Media Release

Minor and Legal Guardian each consent to the commercial and educational use by Sculpture School of any media image or audio or visual interview of Minor taken by, on behalf of, or for the use of, Sculpture School. During programming, Sculpture School will document the work of students, volunteers, and other participants through film and photography to tell the story of the programs in a visual manner. We understand that our child's photographic or videotaped image may thereafter appear in film, on Sculpture School documents and marketing material, or on the Sculpture School website. Sculpture School, and my child's participation in Sculpture School, may also occasionally be documented by journalists, educators and researchers in the interest of the community so that Sculpture School may share the educational work that the children are doing at Sculpture School. Photos, videos, or interviews may be presented through these media outlets at the sole and exclusive discretion of Sculpture School. Documentation of Sculpture School projects and students is intended to display the hard work of the participating students, the effectiveness of the program, and the Sculpture School pedagogy.

Sculpture School may use the first name and/or photographs and/or videos and/or audio recordings of Minor for any printed or online program-related purpose, without the need for any further request for consent and without compensation or right to approve any photograph or printed text.

Entire Agreement

Minor and Legal Guardian agree that, with the exception of other written agreements among the parties, the terms in this Release are the entire agreement between the parties and that Minor and Legal Guardian have not relied on any representations or inducements apart from the terms in this Release. Minor and Legal Guardian also agree that if any clause or provision of this Release is held invalid by any legal authority, the invalid clause or provision shall be modified by the parties in good faith in such a way that it becomes valid and enforceable and shall be aligned with the parties original business purpose, and intent.
