PURPOSE: This document is provided in place of and to accommodate me, the parent/legal guardian of my Child, and to replace individual authorization for each ENCORE-sponsored activity. ENCORE-sponsored activities include but are not limited to all off-campus field trips and on-campus activities. For off-campus field trips, transportation will be provided by third-party transportation providers arranged by ENCORE. I acknowledge that such transportation may involve inherent risks, and I agree to release and hold harmless ENCORE and Baldwin Wallace University from any liability arising from transportation services not directly operated by them. I understand that in certain limited situations, my Child may use independent transportation (such as rideshare services), and I assume the risks associated with such transportation. On-campus activities may include sports and recreational activities, such as swimming, basketball and softball.
Students who will be 18 or older on the first day of their ENCORE Summer Academy may sign for themselves in lieu of a parent/legal guardian.
I state that my child is a student in an ENCORE Chamber Music Institute summer program, housed at Baldwin Wallace University, an Ohio Not-for-Profit Corporation located at 49 Seminary St, Berea, OH 44017, and that in consideration of ENCORE’s agreement to permit my Child to participate in any and all ENCORE-sponsored activities, so state that:
1. I am aware of the nature of ENCORE-sponsored activities and understand there are risks/dangers attendant to my Child’s participation;
2. I hereby agree to permit my Child to participate in any and all such ENCORE-sponsored activities unless I advise ENCORE in writing beforehand that I revoke my permission for a particular activity or activities;
3. I warrant that I maintain accident and health insurance coverage for my Child that will cover my Child while he or she is attending ENCORE and while he or she is participating in any such ENCORE-sponsored activities;
4. In the event of a medical emergency, and after reasonable attempts have been unsuccessful to reach me, I hereby give permission for the representative of ENCORE and/or Baldwin Wallace University to arrange for/and/or authorize emergency medical treatment for my Child. I understand that I am responsible for any and all costs associated with such medical treatment.
5. I agree to release, indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless ENCORE and Baldwin Wallace University, and their respective teachers, administrators, trustees, directors, supervisors, agents, employees, faculty members, and all private persons or organizations volunteering services without charge (each, a “Protected Party”) to supervise or chaperone my Child while participating in the ENCORE-sponsored activities, from any claim or liability of whatsoever kind or nature, including but not limited to personal injury, including dismemberment and/or loss of life, or loss of any kind and/or property damage, court costs, attorneys’ fees and interest, as a result of my Child’s participation in the ENCORE-sponsored activities. I do not agree, however, to such release in the case of willful or intentional inappropriate actions or inactions by employees of ENCORE or Baldwin Wallace University. Further, I hereby agree that no Protected Party shall be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages to any party howsoever arising regardless of any negligence, including any damages that such Protected Party reasonably contemplated or should have anticipated;
6. I agree that ENCORE and Baldwin Wallace University, and their respective teachers, administrators, trustees, directors, supervisors, agents, employees, faculty members, and all private persons or organizations volunteering services without charge may terminate my Child’s participation in any ENCORE-sponsored activities if my Child fails to behave or act in accordance with ENCORE’s rules and/or regulations on conduct as set forth in the ENCORE Chamber Music Institute Student Handbook and any other policy of ENCORE or Baldwin Wallace University, fails to follow the instructions and/or directions of teachers, faculty, administrators, trustees, supervisors, agents, employees and all private persons or organizations volunteering services, or evidence conduct deemed to be detrimental to or incompatible with the interest, comfort or welfare of those participating in the ENCORE-sponsored activities including students, ENCORE representatives and supervisors as determined by the representative of ENCORE in charge of the ENCORE-sponsored activity. Accordingly, I hereby authorize the Executive Director of ENCORE Chamber Music Institute and other respective administrators including the residential hall supervisors to administer and enforce disciplinary action, without a refund of any tuition or expenses paid by me or my Child, in the event of any violation of or noncompliance with such rules and/or regulations by my Child.
7. I acknowledge that my Child will be required to bring his or her own instrument to ENCORE. I further acknowledge that either I or my Child is responsible for transporting his or her instrument to ENCORE's campus, at my own expense and risk of loss. I represent and warrant that I maintain an insurance policy that covers any damage to the instrument or theft of the instrument, and such insurance policy will remain in effect throughout the time my Child attends ENCORE. Without limiting the foregoing, I acknowledge and agree that neither ENCORE nor Baldwin Wallace University, nor their respective directors, employees, faculty or supervisors shall be liable for any damage to or theft of my Child’s instrument.
