Terms, Conditions, and Release of Liability Agreement
I, the undersigned, hereby acknowledge that I am over the age of 18, that I am the parent and/or legal guardian of minor, (“my child”). I hereby warrant that I have the right to enter into this Terms, Conditions and Release of Liability Agreement (“Agreement”) on behalf of my child and that my execution of this Agreement will not infringe upon the rights of any third party.
I have voluntarily chosen to enroll my child in the 2025 Stellar Space Experience Program which is a STEM focused workshop and leadership program for Cook Inlet Region, Inc. Shareholders and Shareholder Descendants ages fifteen through eighteen that consists of, but is not limited to: workshops, mentoring events, tours, meals, overnight accommodations, and transportation via common carrier and/or private vehicle (“Program”). The Program is organized by Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (“CIRI” and “Program Sponsor”). The Program may be staffed by Shareholders, directors, officers, employees, volunteers, contractors or subcontractors of CIRI, CIRI’s subsidiaries and/or CIRI’s affiliated entities (collectively “Program Staff”).
I give consent for my child to participate in the Program. In consideration of my child’s participation in the Program and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, I agree as follows.
ACCEPTANCE OF RISKS, LIABILITY RELEASE AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
I understand that my child will be engaging in activities that may involve the risks of serious personal injury, illness, permanent disability, dismemberment, death, severe economic loss, loss of personally identifiable information, loss of personal health information, property loss and property damage. I understand that these risks may result from the actions, negligence, and/or failure to act of my child and others (including, but not limited to, other participants in the Program, Program Sponsor and Program Staff) and the condition of any real or personal property, facilities, or equipment used during the Program. I also understand that there may be risks involved in any and all activities in which my child may participate, and which are not known to me, my child, the Program Sponsor and Program Staff and may not be foreseen or reasonably foreseeable by any of the foregoing entities or persons at this time or at the time of the Program.
I, personally, and on behalf of my child and anyone else who may claim on my or my child’s behalf (“I”), assume all risks arising from my child’s participation in or involvement with the Program. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Program Sponsor and Program Staff from any claim that I might have arising from my child’s participation in or involvement with the Program including, but not limited to, any action, negligence, or failure to act by Program Sponsor, Program Staff or other Program participant, injury caused by the condition of any real or personal property, facilities, or equipment used during the Program, and the loss of personally identifiable information and/or personal health information. I accept personal responsibility for any injury (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, dismemberment, and death), illness, damage, loss (including, but not limited to, loss of personally identifiable information and/or personal health information, and any damage or expense arising from that loss), claim, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ and professionals’ fees), of any kind or nature, that I may suffer arising out of or in any way connected with the Program or my child’s participation in the Program.
I acknowledge that, in the event of any breach by Program Sponsor, Program Staff or any third party, the damage, if any, caused me or my child, will not be irreparable or otherwise sufficient to entitle me or my child to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, and my child and I will be strictly limited to the right, if any, to recover damages in an action at law. I agree that under no circumstances will Program Sponsor’s total liability, whether arising in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, exceed the lesser of (a) direct damages actually incurred, or (b) five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). Neither my child nor I will have the right to rescind or terminate this waiver and release or any of Program Sponsor’s rights hereunder.
CONDUCT
I understand that Program Sponsor reserves the right to cancel my child’s participation in the Program at any time for any reason, with or without notice.
I understand that my child is fully responsible for complying with all rules and regulations of the Program. I further understand that if my child's actions or attitude are deemed detrimental to other Program participants, Program Staff, or the general Program atmosphere, my child may be sent home early. I agree to accept full responsibility, financially or otherwise, for the conduct of my child — including paying transportation and accommodation costs, restitution for damage to Program equipment, property facilities and personal property of other participants.
PHYSICAL CONDITION AND SPECIAL NEEDS
I understand and agree that I am responsible for determining my child's medical, physical or other qualifications and suitability for participating in the Program. I understand that my child should not attend the Program if my child is not in a healthy condition. I agree to disclose to Program Sponsor and Program Staff any pertinent medical, physical, or other conditions and special needs that may affect my child's participation in Program activities. I hereby confirm that my child: (i) has no psychiatric, medical, and/or physical condition or history which would prevent him/her from participating in the Program and/or endanger himself/herself or others at the Program; (ii) has not been instructed by any physician to refrain from participating in the Program; and (iii) is capable of self-administering any and all needed medications.
MEDICAL TREATMENT
In the event of an emergency, I hereby grant Program Sponsor and Program Staff permission to administer immediate treatment and/or transport my child for medical treatment. In connection with any injury my child may sustain or illness or other medical conditions my child may experience during my child’s participation in or attendance at the Program, I authorize any emergency first aid, medication, transportation, medical treatment, or surgery deemed necessary by the attending medical personnel if I am not able to act on my child’s behalf. I further authorize the attending medical personnel to execute on my child’s behalf any permission forms, consents, or other appropriate documents relating to medical attention. I agree to assume all liability for any expenses incurred for such medical care and I am aware that Program Sponsor and Program Staff assume no liability for the costs or provision of medical care in the event that care is needed before, during or after this Program.
NAME AND LIKENESS RELEASE
I hereby grant permission to Program Sponsor, to utilize my child’s name, voice, and likeness (including, but not limited to, photographs and any video/audio recording of my child’s appearance at the Program) in any and all manner and media, now known or hereafter developed, in perpetuity without limitation and without additional compensation or consideration, notification, or permission, unless prohibited by applicable law. I hereby waive any right that I or my child may have to inspect or approve any finished product (including, but not limited to, any brochures, videos, slide shows, web sites, and/or other materials) or any advertising copy that may be used in connection therewith or the use to which it is applied. I hereby assign all rights, title, and interest my child or I may have in any and all media now known or hereafter developed in which any or all of my child’s appearance, name, voice, and/or likeness have been captured in connection with the Program to Program Sponsor, along with full rights of assignability. I understand and agree that any photographs and/or video/audio recordings I or my child make at the Program shall be used solely for my and my child’s private, non-commercial use, and that absolutely no sale, transmission, distribution, or commercial use of any such photographs and/or video/audio recordings or descriptions are permitted.
