Participant Waiver, Release of Liability, and Media Authorization
Please read this agreement carefully before completing registration. By registering for and/or participating in programs, activities, events, services, transportation, trips, or facility use associated with the Methuen Youth & Community Center (“MYCC”), participants and/or parents/guardians acknowledge and agree to the following:
I understand and acknowledge that participation in recreational, educational, athletic, leadership, arts, wellness, community engagement, workforce development, enrichment, field trip, and other MYCC-sponsored activities may involve inherent risks, including but not limited to bodily injury, illness, exposure to communicable diseases, emotional stress, property damage, permanent disability, or death. I voluntarily choose to participate, or permit my child to participate, with full knowledge of these potential risks.
On behalf of myself and/or my child, I hereby waive, release, discharge, and hold harmless the Methuen Youth & Community Center, Leadership & Literacy Foundation, the City of Methuen, program partners, sponsors, volunteers, contractors, employees, officers, board members, instructors, representatives, and agents from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, damages, causes of action, costs, or expenses arising out of or related to participation in MYCC programs, activities, transportation, events, or facility use, including those arising from ordinary negligence to the fullest extent permitted under Massachusetts law.
I understand that this release includes, but is not limited to, claims related to personal injury, illness, medical expenses, property loss or damage, accidents, delays, transportation incidents, and participation in on-site or off-site programming.
I certify that I and/or my child are physically and medically able to participate in MYCC activities. I understand it is my responsibility to disclose any relevant medical, behavioral, emotional, or physical conditions that may affect safe participation. I further understand that MYCC reserves the right to restrict participation if deemed necessary for health, safety, or programmatic reasons.
In the event of an emergency, accident, or illness, I authorize MYCC staff, representatives, or emergency personnel to obtain or administer emergency medical treatment for myself or my child as deemed reasonably necessary. I understand that every effort will be made to contact the parent/guardian or emergency contact listed on the registration. I accept full financial responsibility for any medical treatment, transportation, or related expenses incurred.
I acknowledge that MYCC and Leadership & Literacy Foundation do not provide medical, accident, health, or hospitalization insurance coverage for participants. I understand that participants are encouraged to maintain their own insurance coverage.
I understand that participants are expected to follow all MYCC rules, policies, behavioral expectations, safety procedures, and staff directions. MYCC reserves the right to suspend or remove any participant whose behavior is deemed unsafe, disruptive, inappropriate, or contrary to the mission and expectations of the organization, without refund when applicable.
I grant permission to the Methuen Youth & Community Center and Leadership & Literacy Foundation to photograph, videotape, audio record, livestream, interview, or otherwise capture the likeness, voice, artwork, or participation of myself or my child during MYCC-related activities. I authorize MYCC and Leadership & Literacy Foundation to use such materials for educational, promotional, marketing, fundraising, social media, website, print, public relations, or other lawful organizational purposes without compensation or further approval.
I understand that this agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If any portion of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
By completing registration, checking the acknowledgment box, electronically signing, and/or participating in MYCC programming, I acknowledge that I have carefully read, fully understand, and voluntarily agree to the terms of this Waiver, Release of Liability, and Media Authorization Agreement.
