Grant and Release of Photography Rights
I hereby grant and release to Peninsula School of Performing Arts the right to use and publicize photographs and videos of me taken during classes, workshops, performances, or other affiliated events sponsored, organized or facilitated by PSPA, provided, however, that such right of publication shall be exercised solely for purposes of instruction and/or for advertising and promoting Peninsula School of Performing Arts.
Indemnification and Hold Harmless
I agree to INDEMNIFY and HOLD HARMLESS the Indemnitees from any claims, actions, suits and procedures, including and costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including litigation defense costs, imposed in connection therewith, which are brought as a result of my involvement in the Activities, and to reimburse the Indemnities for any and all such expenses incurred by them.
Attestation Concerning Health of Participant
I hereby confirm and warrant that I am in sufficiently good health to participate in strenuous dance exercises and in the Activities generally. In addition, I acknowledge that I was advised to consult a physician concerning any doubt about my health and condition to engage in the Activities. I am informed and accept that is incumbent on me to inform the Indemnities of any known or suspected physical limitations or conditions that I may have or may arise. I further attest that (i) except as set forth on the attached Exhibit 1, there are no health-related reasons or problems which may restrict my participation in the Activities, and (ii) vis-à-vis the Indemnities, I will be responsible for all medical costs that arise as a result of injury to me in connection with the Activities.
