I agree that my child will comply with all health and safety protocols imposed by Juilliard and COCA, including without limitation all COVID-19 safety requirements that may be in place during the Program.
2. I acknowledge and fully understand that my child may be engaging in activities that involve risk of serious injury, including without limitation disability and death. These risks include, but are not limited to, those caused by: (a) the actions, inactions or negligence of The Juilliard School, students, faculty, participants, volunteers, guests and other third parties; (b) the conditions of the premises or equipment used, if any; and (c) possible exposure to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases. I further acknowledge and fully understand that there may also be other risks that are not known or foreseeable at this time. I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, AND I ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR MY CHILD’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM.
3. With knowledge of the risks involved, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, I, on behalf of myself and my child, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, hereby waive, release, and discharge Juilliard, COCA, its administrators, trustees, officers, employees, students and agents (collectively the “Releasees”) from any and all claims for damages, injuries, losses, liabilities and expenses which my child or I may have or which may subsequently accrue to my child or me, relating to, resulting from or arising out of my child’s participation in the Program (collectively, “Claims”). I agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Releasees harmless from and against any and all such Claims.
4. I hereby grant permission to Juilliard and others acting on its behalf to use my child’s image and/or live or recorded audio and/or video (collectively, “Recordings”) for advertising and promotional purposes consistent with or in furtherance of Juilliard’s educational mission without my or my child’s further consent. I hereby waive any right that I now have or may have in the future to inspect or approve the Recordings or any materials that may be used in connection with the Recordings. I understand that Juilliard is under no obligation to provide any form of compensation or communication to me or anyone else for use of the Recordings as set forth herein. Juilliard is permitted, but not obligated, to include my child’s name as a credit in connection with the Recordings.
5. I, on behalf of myself and my child, hereby waive, release and discharge Juilliard from any claims related to defamation, invasion of privacy, rights of publicity, copyright or any other legal or financial responsibility that may arise regarding use of the Recordings as set forth herein.
6. I intend that this Consent, Waiver & Release of Liability shall be construed broadly to provide a waiver and release to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. This Consent, Waiver & Release and any disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York.
