Participants, by virtue of entering and attending a RUNWAY Dance Connection event, give their permission and consent to RUNWAY Dance Connection, and the directors of RUNWAY Dance Connection, to use without any compensation whatsoever, their images or photographs, or appear in videos or any other electronic or print media for advertising, news coverage, or any other commercial use of our events.

ASSUMPTION OF RISKS

I AM AWARE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE ACTIVITIES INVOLVE MANY RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITIES.

RUNWAY Dance Connection and the hosting facility are not responsible for personal injury or property loss, including but not limited to participants or spectators.

I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims which I have or may in the future have against the Company, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, successors and assigns (collectively, "Releasees"), on account of injury, death or property damage arising out of or attributable to my participation in the Activities, due to any cause whatsoever, including without limitation the negligence of the Company or any other Releasee, breach of contract, or breach of any statutory or other duty of care owing under occupiers liability legislation or otherwise. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Company or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Company and all other Releasees from liability under such claims.

I shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all other Releasees against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable legal fees, in connection with any third-party claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or resulting from the Activities.

I expressly agree that this waiver, release, and assumption of risk is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by applicable law. If any portion of this agreement is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall continue in full legal force and effect. This waiver, release and assumption of risk shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Ontario law.

I further agree that any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to my participation in activities offered by the Company must be brought forward in an Ontario court within one (1) year of the event(s) giving rise to the action, suit or proceeding.

I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at RUNWAY Dance Connection may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, RUNWAY Dance Connection employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families.

I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance at RUNWAY Dance Connection or participation in programming (“Claims”).

RUNWAY Dance Connection will work with attendees to reschedule events and provide full refunds when scheduled events cannot take place due to government orders.

This Agreement, together with the Website Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement of the Company and me with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supercedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
