I, (Print Full Name) choose to participate in GT Educational Center


events and activities. This Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release from Liability covers the entirety of my enrollment in
GT Programs, including travel to any locations off the GT campus in order to participate in activities and events.
I certify that I have no health issues which make it unwise for me to participate in any such event and activity and agree
that I and my heirs will hold harmless GT Educational Center and its agents, officers and faculty in the event of my
experiencing accident, injury or even death as a result of the aforesaid excursion.

Furthermore, I agree to assume full responsibility for damage to property or injury to myself or others resulting from my

1. Risk Factors - I understand and acknowledge that participating in GT events involves risks including, but not limited
to the following: risk of property damage, bodily injury, including, but not limited to permanent disability, paralysis, and
possibly death. These risks may result from a variety of circumstances including, but not limited to, the use or misuse
of the equipment or facilities, from the activity itself, from the acts of myself or others, including GT Educational Center
and its agents or from the unavailability of emergency medical care.

2. Assumption of Risk - I am participating in GT events and activities at my own free will. I understand that my decision

all facilities, equipment or participation in the activity is dependent upon carefully following these policies and procedures.
I understand that GT reserves the right to revoke or terminate my participation in the events/activities for any violations
of these rules, regulations, or policies.

4. Release, Indemnify, and Defend. I hereby release, waive, discharge, and hold harmless GT Educational Center, and
all of their affiliates, predecessors, successors, trustees, officers, directors, faculty, employees, agents and representatives,
past or present (hereinafter jointly referred to as “the Released Parties") from any and all claims, suits, liabilities, judgments,
costs and expenses ("Claims") for any property damage, property loss or theft, personal injury or illness, death or other

harmless the Released Parties from and against any Claims arising from or related to my own acts or omissions in
connection with my participation in the events and activities.

5. Prerequisite Skills. I acknowledge that I have the requisite skills, qualifications, physical ability and training necessary
to properly and safely participate in GT events/activities. I agree that if I have any questions as to what skills, qualifications,
or training is necessary to properly participate in any event/activity, then I shall direct such questions to the appropriate
individuals.

6. Waiver - I hereby waive any protections afforded by any statute or law in any jurisdiction whose purpose, substance
and/or effect is to provide that a general release shall not extend to claims, material or otherwise which the person
giving the release does not know or suspect to exist at the time of executing the release.
This means, in part, that I am releasing unknown future claims.
