PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN RELEASE AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
If the Student/Participant is not eighteen (18) years of age or older, the signature of Student/Participant's parent or legal guardian is required.
As parent or legal guardian of the above-mentioned Student/Participant, I agree to and approve the terms of this Release and Indemnity Agreement and consent to the Student/Participant's participation in the Course/Activity and warrant that I have full authority to do so on behalf of myself, the Student/Participant and the Student/Participants heirs, personal representatives and assigns. I understand and assume the risks of the Student/Participant's participation in the Course/Activity.
I, THE UNDERSIGNED, HEREBY FULLY RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE Texas Christian University and all instructors, sponsors, agents, employees, officers,
trustees and affiliates of Texas Christian University (collectively ''TCU"), of and
from any and all liability to me, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs and
next of kin, from any and all claims, demands, controversies, actions or causes of
action, belonging to me or Student/Participant now or in the future for any damage
to or loss of Student/Participant's property, and any injury to Student/Participant’s
person or Student/Participant's death or any one or more of the foregoing, arising
directly or indirectly out of Student/Participant's participation for any purpose
in the Course/Activity, REGARDLESS OF WHO MAY BE AT FAULT OR RESPONSIBLE UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY AND EVEN IF
SUCH DAMAGE, LOSS, INJURY OR DEATH ARISES FROM OR IS CAUSED BY OR ATTRIBUTABLE TO,
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF TCU but excluding any gross negligence or willful misconduct of TCU.
IT IS MY EXPRESS INTENT THAT THE ABOVE RELEASE INCLUDES THE RELEASE BY ME OF TCU FROM
THE CONSEQUENCES OF TCU'S OWN NEGLIGENCE. THE ONLY CIRCUMSTANCE UNDER WHICH MY RELEASE
OF TCU DOES NOT APPLY IS WITH RESPECT TO ANY OCCURRENCE RESULTING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE
OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF TCU.
I FURTHER AGREE TO DEFEND TCU AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, LAWSUITS, INVESTIGATIONS AND DEMANDS AND TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS TCU any and all losses, liabilities, settlements, judgments, damages and costs (including
court costs, attorneys fees and costs of investigation), for any damage to or loss
of any property or any personal or bodily injury, illness or death of any person or
any one or more of the foregoing, arising out of Student/Participant's participation
for any purpose in the Course/Activity, REGARDLESS OF WHO MAY BE AT FAULT OR RESPONSIBLE
UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY AND EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGE, LOSS, INJURY OR DEATH ARISES FROM
OR IS CAUSED BY OR ATTRIBUTABLE TO, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THE SOLE OR
CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF TCU but excluding any gross negligence or willful misconduct
of TCU.
IT IS MY EXPRESS INTENT THAT THE ABOVE INDEMNITY INCLUDES INDEMNIFICATION BY ME OF
TCU FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF TCU'S OWN NEGLIGENCE. THE ONLY CIRCUMSTANCE UNDER WHICH
MY OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY TCU DOES NOT APPLY IS WITH RESPECT TO AN OCCURRENCE RESULTING
FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF TCU.
