Code of Conduct Agreement

I understand and agree that:

1. Attending RockSmithClub Band  (RSCB) as a student will involve activities such as, but not limited to, being in a loud environment, using electrical equipment such as amplifiers, speakers, and musical instruments, getting on and off the stage, and playing, performing, working with, or in front of, other individuals in various settings. The described activity may be hazardous, strenuous, and/or physical in nature. I hereby assume any and all risks of bodily injury, personal injury, sickness, disease, death or property damage and to release and hold harmless RSCB, its owners, directors, employees, and volunteers. This waiver, release and assumption of risk are to be binding on the heirs and assigns. I will indemnify and hold RBU harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense, including litigation, which they may incur as a result of any injury and/or property damage which myself or my minor children may sustain while participating in said activities. I will make good any loss or damage or cost RSCB may have to pay if any litigation arises on account of any claim made by said minors or by anyone on said minor’s behalf. Knowing the risk involved, nevertheless, I voluntarily request permission for myself or minor child to participate in the described activity.

 

2. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (“SARSCoV-2”) and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to, or infected by COVID-19, by attending the activities, practices, or performances. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed or infected by COVID-19 may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to: RBU employees, volunteers, activity participants, and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury or illness to my guests, my family, or myself, that I may experience or incur in connection with attendance of RockSmithClub Band or participation in activities/programs involving RSCB. I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless RSCB, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto any of the risks as described above. I understand and agree that this release includes any claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of RSCB, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any RSCB program.

 

3. I understand RSCB has the right to cancel or change programming based on inclement weather, mosquito spraying, poor air quality and/or any other natural factors that may alter outdoor programming. I further acknowledge and agree that RSCB reserves the right to cancel the programming if, in their sole discretion, circumstances beyond its control including, without limitation, acts of the government, riots, fires, floods, or other casualty, epidemics, earthquakes, Public Safety Power Shut Offs, or unusually severe weather, necessitate such a cancellation. RSCB shall provide notice of cancellation under this provision as soon as is practicable and will reschedule, if applicable.

 

4. In case of emergency, accident, illness, or other incapacity occurring while under RSCB’s authority, I give my permission to be treated by medical professionals and admitted to the hospital if necessary. This authorization applies whether or not the charges are covered by my insurance, and I am responsible for all reasonable medical and emergency expenses incurred on my behalf, regardless of whether I would have authorized such expenses under separate circumstances.

 

5. I understand RSCB staff may photograph or videotape me and/or my minor children and the RSCB may use such photographs or videotapes to promote RSCB programs and classes. I expressly allow, and hereby waive any objection to, RSCB’s photographing and/or videotaping of me and/or my minor children when I and/or my minor children are participating in an RSCB program. I understand all photos and videotapes will remain the property of RSCB.

 

6. I agree that I will follow all RSCB rules and will remain within the parameter of RSCB activities at all times. RSCB is not responsible for children following the dismissal of a program. I understand that activities are not child care as defined by the State of Maryland.

 

7. I have read this agreement, fully understand its terms, and have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature, intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.
