PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT, RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

 

I (or if I am a parent signing on behalf of a minor) hereby agree to the following:

​

• That I am participating in a class or lesson offered by Lorenzo Thixton, whether in person or via online virtual class, during which I will receive training in aerial arts, conditioning, and/or flexibility training. While Lorenzo Thixton takes every precaution possible, these practices require intense physical exertion and entail known and anticipated risks, including physical or emotional injury, muscle soreness and strain, paralysis, death, or damage to myself/student, to property, or to third parties. I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved. I understand I must obey all of Lorenzo Thixtons’s rules and regulations that are set up to mitigate risk and keep all clients, employees, and equipment safe. Failure to follow such rules and requirements may result in injury and/or cancelation of future classes/lessons.

 

• I understand it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in any circus arts class or related workshop. I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and that I have no medical condition which would prevent my full participation in any activity in which I participate. I understand that it is my responsibility to ascertain that I am capable of participating in any such activity, and that I should continue to keep Lorenzo Thixton fully informed of any physical or other condition or disability which would prevent or limit my participation in any activity.

 

• In consideration of being permitted to participate in any activity that I sign up for, I hereby fully and forever release and hold harmless Lorenzo Thixton, class participants, subcontractors, employees, owners, landlords and agents (hereinafter collectively called the “Releasees”) from and against any and all liability to myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, executors, personal executors, personal representatives, administrators and/or assigns, for any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses and damages of any kind whatsoever on account of any injury including loss, injury, death or damage to my person and/or any property or to any other person and/or their property, caused by any action or inaction of any of the Releasees. I hereby waive any right to sue any of the Releasees for any injuries or damages I may incur whether known or unknown resulting in my participation in any activity. The risk for circus arts include, among other things: exposing its participants to the potential for slips, falls, rope/silk burns, punches, scrapes, twists and jolts that can result in scratches, bruises, sprains or lacerations, fractures, concussions, or even severe life-threatening hazards; strains, sprains, cuts, bruises, muscle soreness, fractures and concussions.

 

• In consideration of being permitted to participate in any activity I sign up for, I AGREE TO AND I ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RISKS, INJURIES OR DAMAGES, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH I MIGHT INCUR AS A RESULT OF PARTICPATING IN ANY SUCH ACTIVITY. 

 

• I understand and agree this document is to be binding on myself, my heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators and assigns.

 

• I AGREE TO DISCUSS ANY HEALTH RESTRICTIONS, QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS WITH INSTRUCTOR PRIOR TO ANY CLASS, PROGRAM OR WORKSHOP IN WHICH I AM ENROLLED.

 

• I certify that I have adequate health insurance to cover any injury or damage I or my child may cause or suffer while participating in circus related activities, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have.

​​

• Payment for all services is required by the end of each class/lesson in the agreed upon form.
