Sep 22, 2026 06:36 AM
The individual named below (referred to as "I" or "me") desires to participate in Irish Dance (the "Activity") provided by The McCafferty Irish Feis Foundation, Inc., DBA, McCafferty Academy of Irish Dance, an Arkansas Non-profit with offices located at 11 Ophelia Drive, Maumelle, AR 72113 (the "Foundation"). In consideration of being permitted by the Foundation to participate in the Activity and in recognition of the Foundation's reliance hereon, I agree to all the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument (this "Release").
I AM AWARE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE ACTIVITY IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ACTIVITY AND INVOLVES THE RISK OF PERSONAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY, PAIN, SUFFERING, TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT DISABILITY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND/OR FINANCIAL LOSS. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY INJURIES THAT I SUSTAIN MAY RESULT FROM OR BE COMPOUNDED BY THE ACTIONS, OMISSIONS, OR NEGLIGENCE OF THE FOUNDATION, INCLUDING NEGLIGENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE OR RESCUE OPERATIONS OF THE FOUNDATION. NOTWITHSTANDING THE RISK, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY WITH AN EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING OF THE DANGER INVOLVED AND HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS OF INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM MY PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITY, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE FOUNDATION OR OTHERWISE.
I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims, now known or hereafter known, against the Foundation, and its officers, directors, manager(s), instructors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Releasees"), arising out of or attributable to my participation in the Activity, whether arising out of the ordinary negligence of the Foundation or any Releasees or otherwise. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Foundation or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Foundation and all other Releasees from liability under such claims.
I hereby further consent to receive medical treatment deemed necessary if I am injured or require medical attention during my participation in the Activity. I understand and agree that I am solely responsible for all costs related to such medical treatment and any related medical transportation and/or evacuation. This may include ambulatory and other medical services as provided through contacting emergency services. I understand that such treatment and services may be provided at or near the location at which such injury or ailment may occur, and may be provided in another State or jurisdiction, as the case may be. To that end, I understand that my insurance provider, if any, may consider such services out-of-network. I hereby release, forever discharge, and hold harmless the Foundation from any claim based on such treatment or other medical services.
This Release constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Foundation and me with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes 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 Release is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Release or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. This Release is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Foundation and me and our respective heirs, successors, and assigns. All matters arising out of or relating to this Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Arkansas without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Arkansas or any other jurisdiction). Any claim or cause of action arising under this Release may be brought only in the federal and state courts located in Pulaski County, Arkansas and I hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
BY SIGNING, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS RELEASE AND THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE THE FOUNDATION.
