This agreement is between the participant and Two Cranes
Institute, its instructors, members, agents and authorized guests (collectively
referred to hereafter as "Two Cranes Institute" and/or "TCI").
In consideration for the
enrollment in any program provided by Two Cranes Institute, including Two Cranes Aikido dojo, I make the
following statements and promises:
1. I assume the risk of any
injury or other medical condition arising as the result of my participation in
any activity in which I engage at TCI or at any event
sponsored or conducted by, through or in connection with TCI at any other location (the “Aikido Activity" or "Aikido Activities"). I understand I am responsible
for my own safety and for comporting myself in a safe manner at all times
during all Activities.
2. I agree to indemnify and
hold harmless, and hereby release, (1) Two Cranes Institute and its officers,
directors, instructors, coaches, members, volunteers, guests and other
participants, and (2) the hosts, sponsors, promoters, volunteers, and other persons
involved in any Aikido Activity, from all claims, liability, demands, or
actions of any kind in connections with my participation in any Aikido Activity that I
may attend on or off the TCI premises. This includes, but is
not limited to, claims, liability, demands, or actions for personal injury or
property damage or loss. This agreement also shall be binding on my personal
representatives, heirs and assigns.
3. If I have a disability or illness, I
promise to consult with my physician before beginning Aikido Activities.
4. I promise to defend,
indemnify and hold Two Cranes Institute harmless from any and all claims and
action by third parties alleging injury from my use of the techniques learned
in the program. I have not requested or received any warranties as to the effectiveness
of the training.
5. The novel coronavirus,
COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health
Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to
spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state,
and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend
social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation
of groups of people. By signing this liability waiver, I acknowledge the
contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may
be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending Aikido Activities and that such exposure or infection may result in personal
injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the
risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 while attending Aikido Activities may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of
myself and others. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing
risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to myself (including,
but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage,
loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I may experience or
incur in connection with my participation in the Aikido Activities. I
release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless TCI, as well as
its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from any and all
liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising
out of or relating to my participation in the Aikido Activities. I understand and
agree that this release includes any claims based on the actions, omissions,
or negligence of TCI, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether
a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any of
the Aikido Activities.
I have carefully read this
agreement in its entirety and fully understand its contents. I am aware that
this is a contract between me and TCI that is a release of liability, and I sign it of my own free will.
