  • I hereby give Hyde Square Task Force permission to administer basic First/Aid and/or CPR and/or take my child to a hospital and secure medical treatment when I cannot be reached or when delay would be dangerous to my child's health.
  • This agreement is by and between Hyde Square Task Force (herein referred to as HSTF) and the individual whose name is signed and printed below (herein referred to as participant).

    1. I am participating in the Artes Culturales at HSTF, during which I may participate in physical activity workshops. I recognize that participation in such activities requires physical exertion that may be strenuous and may cause physical injury, and I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved.

    2. I understand that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to and regarding my participation in the Artes Culturales Program. I represent and warrant that I am physically fit and I have no medical condition that would prevent my full participation in the Artes Culturales Program.

    3. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Artes Culturales Program, I agree to assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries or damages, known or unknown, which I may incur as a result of participating in the program.

    4. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Artes Culturales Program, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any claim I may have against HSTF and its employees, board members, officers, volunteers, and staff for damages, and injury, including death, that I may sustain as a result of participating in the Artes Culturales Program.

    5. I and my heirs or legal representatives forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue HSTF and its employees, board members, officers, volunteers, and staff for any injury or death caused by my voluntary participation in the Artes Culturales Program.

    I have read the above release and waiver of liability and fully understand its contents. I voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions stated above. This agreement remains in effect for as long as I participate in the Artes Culturales Program.
