General Release of Liability: I understand there are risks of physical injury when participating in sports and recreational activities or programs. I further understand that the Town of New Windsor (hereinafter “the Town”) does not maintain or obtain insurance for those who choose to participate in sporting and recreational activities and programs it runs and/or sponsors, which may provide me with insurance coverage in the event I should be injured while I participate, or my child participates, in any such activity or program.
Notwithstanding the above, I am signing this General Release of Liability (hereinafter “Release”) because I wish to participate, or I wish to allow my child to participate, in the applicable town-sponsored sports and recreational activity or program, with the knowledge and understanding that, in doing so, I hereby agree to forever release, indemnify and hold harmless the Town of New Windsor, its Town Board, its Recreation & Parks Department, and all employees, volunteers, officials and agents of the Town, from any and all responsibility, liability, loss or damage for any and all injury, including, but not limited to physical injury, emotional injury, and injury to personal property, which my child or I may experience in connection with the activity or program for which this Release is provided.
I further understand and agree that this General Release shall be binding on anyone that may seek to myself, my children, my beneficiaries, heirs, executors and administrators
I further consent to allow all emergency medical procedures deemed advisable by emergency medical providers and/or first responders be taken for me or my child in the event I am unable to consent on my own at the time such procedures are provided or cannot be reached after my child has sustained an injury.
I further certify that I/my child does not have any medical condition that would make it dangerous for me/my child to participate in the activity or program for which this General Release is provided.
By signing this General Release, I understand and acknowledge that neither the Town nor the Town’s Recreation and Parks Dept. provide accident or hospitalization insurance for participants of its programs and, in participating myself or in allowing by child to participate, I have been advised it is my responsibility to ensure I have adequate personal insurance coverage of my own, and have taken into consideration my own and/or my child’s own health conditions, experience, and tolerance for risk before participating in any sports and recreational activity or program sponsored the Town.
I also understand that the Town and/or Recreation & Parks Dept. may use photos, video, artwork, etc. of me and/or my child for publicity, via social media and/or printed materials, unless I notify them, in writing, of my objections to same.
I further understand and agree that the Town or the Recreation & Parks Dept. may cancel the activity or program, for which this General Release is provided, for any reason it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to insufficient participation, insufficient staffing, weather, etc.; and if canceled, a full refund shall be issued and nothing more.
If a participant becomes ill or injured and is unable to attend or participate in the activity or program for which this General Release is provided, a prorated refund (less any applicable processing fees, which the Town is unable to recover) will be issued upon the Town’s receipt of a signed doctor’s note, which must corroborate the illness or injury claimed to preclude the participant’s participation. Said doctor’s note must be provided to the Town or to the Recreation & Parks Dept. within thirty (30) days of the precipitating illness or injury. There will be no refund if a participant begins the activity or program and is picked up early, for whatever reason, or is asked to leave due to a disciplinary issue, or due to the discovery of misrepresentation(s) made in order to participate.
All activity and program dates are subject to change. No refunds will be given if a new date cannot be made or attended by the participant.
