The term, “Undersigned,” is used in this Agreement as pertaining to: (i) if Participant is of majority age, it refers only to Participant; (ii) if Participant is not of majority age, Undersigned refers to Participant and Participant’s Parent or Guardian. In consideration of Ohio University through its College of Fine Arts organizing and operating Summer Programs in the Fine Arts and making them available from June 1, 2024 through July 31, 2024 ("Program") for participation by Participant and others, the Undersigned agrees as follows:

The Undersigned acknowledges that the Participant will participate in activities both on and off of University's Athens campus including, but not limited to: painting; drawing; printmaking; observing and operating equipment such as laser cutters, 3D printers, letterpress equipment, soldering irons, and welders; walking; playing an instrument(s); marching; running; strenuous and rigorous dance; sewing by hand and machine; acting; jumping; stage combat choreography; singing; theater improvisations and physical games; mask work; all activities associated with creating theater; attending education sessions; traversing the University campus; etc. The Undersigned understands that if the Program they are attending is for dance or theater that because of the physical nature of the art, there may be required and necessary physical contact between participants, employees, instructors, etc. Activities involve strenuous exertions of strength using various muscle groups, some involve quick movements using speed and change of direction, some involve other participants or instructors, and others involve sustained physical activity that places stress on the cardiovascular system. The specific risks vary from one activity to another, but the risks may include: minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains; major injuries such as a broken/fractured bone, eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, heart attacks, and concussions; or catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death.
The Undersigned understands and agrees that the state of Ohio, University, its governing board, employees, agents, and volunteers: (i) are not responsible or liable for any injury, damage, loss, accident, delay or other irregularity which may be caused by the defect of any vehicle or building or the negligence or default of any company or person engaged in providing or performing any of the services involved in this Program; (ii) are not responsible for losses or expenses due to sickness, weather, strikes, hostilities, wars, natural disasters, or other such causes; (iii) are not providing liability insurance for vehicles and will not be responsible for any accidents, injuries, damages, etc. in the transportation to and from the Program; (iv) are not responsible for any disruption of travel arrangements, or any consequent additional expenses that may be incurred therein; (v) assume no liability whatsoever for any loss, damages, destruction or theft or the like to Participant’s luggage or personal belongings and that Undersigned has retained adequate insurance or has sufficient funds to replace such belongings and the Undersigned will hold the University harmless therefrom.
Knowing the dangers, hazards, and risks of such activities, and in consideration of being permitted to participate in the Program, the Undersigned, on behalf of Participant, Participant's family, heirs, and personal representative(s), agrees to assume all the risks and responsibilities surrounding Participant's participation in the Program, the transportation, and in any activities undertaken as an adjunct thereto, and in advance releases, forever discharges, waives, and covenants not to sue the University, its Board of Trustees, officers, agents, employees, invitees, volunteers, and students (“the University and its Agents”), from and against any and all liability for any harm, injury, damage, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, costs, and expenses of any nature whatsoever which Participant may have or which may hereafter accrue to the Participant, arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including but not limited to suffering and death, that may be sustained by Participant or by any property belonging to Participant, whether caused by the negligence or carelessness of the University and its Agents, or otherwise, while in, on, upon, or in transit to or from the Program or any activity adjunct to the Program. The Undersigned hereby releases the University for any liability for any medical decisions or actions and from all medical and transportation expenses incurred on behalf of or for the benefit of Participant.
The Undersigned assures the University of Participant having consulted with a medical doctor with regard to Participant's personal medical needs such that the Undersigned can and does further state that there are no health related reasons or problems which preclude or restrict Participant's participation in this Program. The Undersigned is aware of all applicable personal medical needs of Participant and will meet any and all needs for payment of hospital costs while Participant is undertaking this Program and that the Undersigned hereby grants the University and its agents full authority to take whatever actions they may consider to be warranted under the circumstances regarding Participant’s (or Participant’s baby if born during the Program) health and safety if the Participant is unconscious or otherwise unable to do so them/her/himself, and fully releases the University and its Agents for any liability for such decisions or actions or expenses as may be taken in connection therewith. The Undersigned authorizes the University and its Agents, at their discretion, to place Participant at the Undersigned’s expense, and without further consent by Participant or the Undersigned, in a hospital for medical services and treatment. The Undersigned hereby releases the University and its Agents from all medical and transportation expenses incurred on behalf of or for the benefit of Participant.
The Participant agrees to participate fully in the schedule of the Program. Participant hereby recognizes that the Program and attendant activities are group endeavors and agrees to accept and abide by the University and its agents, or the will of the majority whenever a matter of choice is presented to the group. Participant acknowledges that the University reserves the right to cancel, without penalty, the offering and conduct of the Program and the right to make any alterations, deletions or modifications in the schedule or academic program as deemed necessary by the University or its representative. Participant is not permitted to separate from the group.

The Undersigned further agrees that this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, which shall be the forum for any lawsuits fled under or incident to this Agreement or the Program.
