Liability Waiver for the
Hwa Rang Do Special Events

The undersigned Person, Parent (and/or Guardian) understands that under the terms of this agreement, the Hwa Rang Do Academy, the World Hwa Rang Do Association, and/or the Hwa Rang Do World Headquarters is hosting this special event for either a seminar, tournament, workshop, and/or banquet. All sessions of the event will be supervised by qualified personnel trained in the procedures and traditions of the martial arts related to this special event.

The Person and/or Parent hereby represents that the himself/herself or the Child is physically fit to take the prescribed course of instruction and/or activities listed in the event description.

If the Person, Child, or Parent : 1) fails to follow the standard Hwa Rang Do school rules, 2) is found to be mentally unstable or dangerous to others, or 3) is guilty of criminal behavior, the host of this Special Event retains the right to dismiss the student from classes without financial remuneration, yet maintaining all aspects of this agreement.

Person and/or Parent acknowledges that the services, instruction, and use of equipment entails some unavoidable risk of personal injury and harm, which is indigenous to any physical contact sports, particularly those involving the martial arts. It is further expressly agreed that all instruction, services, consultation, and use of equipment and facilities as it pertains to martial arts training shall be undertaken by the Person and/or Child at Person's/Child's sole risk and that the Person and/or Parent assumes the full responsibility for any such injuries or damages arising out of or in any way connected with his/her use of any of the services or facilities.

The Hwa Rang Do Academy, the World Hwa Rang Do Association, the Hwa Rang Do World Headquarters, and any personal associated with the event shall not be held liable for any claim, demand, injury, expense, damage, action or cause of action arising out of or connected with the use of any of the services or facilities of the event, including those arising from acts of negligence on the part of the event host, its servants, instructors, agents, employees, or members. Person and/or Parent, for himself/herself and on behalf of Child, himself/herself, executors, administrators and assigns does hereby expressly forever release and discharge Studio, its successors or assigns, as well as the officers, directors, instructors, agents, employees, or members from all such claims, demands, injuries, expenses, damages, actions or causes of action.

Person and/or Parent understands that during the course of instruction, employees of the event and/or other students or authorized personnel will be engaged in a course of conduct requiring physical contact; and he/she gives full consent to such contact as is required by the specific purpose of the martial art training and general programming activities.

The Event host does not offer refunds on any fee options. Credits for future services may be given in lieu of a refund at the sole discretion of the Event host. We are also happy to transfer amounts to another family member – however since we have a limited number of spaces in our program and then deny admission to other interested parties based upon who is registered first, we cannot refund fees in the hope that balances would be met after the fact close to the date of any particular session. Thank you for your understanding.

Person and/or Parent agrees that any photographs, videos, or motion pictures taken of himself/herself or Child during the Event activities may be used for promotional purposes.

This agreement is non-transferable without the express written consent of the Event host.

Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Infectious Diseases
There are and have always been many infectious diseases that spread between humans where-ever they congregate, whether that be person-to-person via direct contact, though touch of common surfaces, in the air, or other methods.  The Studio has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of such infectious diseases such as COVID-19 (coronavirus), influenza (the flu), common colds, MERS, Staphylococcus (Staph), Strep Throat, HIV, and others; however, the Studio cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with any such infectious disease. Further, attending the Event could increase your risk and your child(ren)'s risk of contracting such an infectious disease.

By signing this agreement, I (Person and/or Parent) acknowledge the contagious nature of all infectious diseases and voluntarily assume the risk that myself or my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by an infectious disease by attending the Event and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by an infectious disease at the Event may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Event employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families.
I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)'s attendance at the Event or participation in Event programming ("Claims"). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Studio, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Event host, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether an infection of any disease occurs before, during, or after participation in any Studio program.
