ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

In consideration of being permitted by Kids Plays LLC (herein referred to as “KIDS PLAYS “) to participate in the activities and to use the equipment and facilities of KIDS PLAYS, now and in the future, I, the undersigned, on behalf of myself, (and if applicable) my child or ward (both of us hereinafter referred to as “I” or “Participant”), my spouse, parents, heirs, estate, insurers and assigns and if applicable the parents, heirs, estate, insurers and assigns of my child or ward (collectively, the “RELEASING PARTIES”) hereby agree as follows:

1. Assumption of Inherent Risks and Dangers. I acknowledge and agree that playgrounds and gyms for adults and children entail certain risks that simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activities and regardless of the care taken by KIDS PLAYS. Children and adults running around, jumping, diving and being excited (simply having fun) can be exposed to the usual risk of cuts and bruises for example. Other more serious risks exist as well. The children and other participants often can fall off equipment, sprain or break wrists and ankles, and can suffer more serious injuries and even death. Traveling to and from the KIDS PLAYS location raises the possibility of any manner of transportation accidents. Double bouncing by more than one person, can create a rebound effect causing serious injury. Running (or walking), jumping, and bouncing off of the various parts of the playground equipment is and can be dangerous and can cause serious injury or death and must be done at each Participant’s own risk. Similar risks are also inherent in using the Foam Pits or Ball Swimming Pools located in the KIDS PLAYS’ facilities for example. Further the acts or omissions of other adults and children attending KIDS PLAYS’ facilities, using its equipment, and participating in its activities can also be the cause of injury and even death to a Participant. In any event, if I or if applicable, my child or ward is injured, I or, if applicable, my child or ward may require medical assistance, such medical assistance will be at my sole cost and expense. I hereby assert that my and if applicable my child’s or ward’s, use of the KIDS PLAYS facilities and equipment and participation in the activities at KIDS PLAYS is voluntary and that I/we knowingly assume all inherent risks of such activity.

2. Parent/Guardian Responsibilities. I agree that I am responsible for my minor child’s/ward’s conduct and activities at KIDS PLAYS, and I am responsible that he/she comply with all established rules, protocols, and directions of KIDS PLAYS staff. If my child/ward has special needs or has a disability, I agree that I will be responsible for supervising him/her to ensure that he/she will only participate in those activities within his/her capabilities.

3. Indemnification. The RELEASING PARTIES hereby agree to, release, hold harmless, defend and indemnify KIDS PLAYS, its licensees, franchisees, owners, shareholders, members, partners, employees, directors, officers, managers, agents, volunteers, manufacturers, participants, lessors, affiliates, subsidiaries, related and affiliated entities, successors and assigns (collectively, the “RELEASED PARTIES”) (i.e., defend and pay any judgment and legal costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and other expenses) from any and all claims of any or all of the RELEASING PARTIES arising from my and if applicable, my child’s or ward’s death, injury or loss due to the use of the facilities and equipment of KIDS PLAYS and the participation in activities and related presence on the premises of KIDS PLAYS by me and, if applicable, my child or ward (including, without limitation, those arising from the inherent risks of such activity or the ordinary negligence of any or all of the RELEASED PARTIES or other third parties, including, without limitation, other attendees at the KIDS PLAYS facilities). The RELEASING PARTIES further agree to hold harmless, defend and indemnify the RELEASED PARTIES against any and all claims of co-Participants, rescuers and others arising from my and, if applicable, my child’s or ward’s conduct in the course of use of the facilities and equipment of Kids Plays and the participation in activities and related presence on the premises of KIDS PLAYS by me and if applicable my child or ward.

4. Health and Medical Care. I am (and, if applicable, my child or ward is) in good health, and have (and has) no special health problems or issues. I authorize for myself and if applicable my child or ward a licensed medical care provider to carry out any emergency medical care which may be necessary, and I agree to be fully responsible for any associated costs and expenses. I further agree that any medical expenses that may be incurred will be submitted to the applicable healthcare plan for payment/reimbursement, and that I waive any subrogation rights of the health care plan.

5. Photographs and Records. For myself and if applicable on behalf of my child or ward, in consideration of being permitted to use the KIDS PLAYS facilities and equipment and to participate in its activities, I hereby grant to KIDS PLAYS, its parent company and all licensees and affiliated companies and entities, the irrevocable right and permission to photograph and/or record me and, if applicable, my child or ward, to use such photographs and recordings for all purposes, including, without limitation, advertising and promotional purposes, in any manner in any and all media now or hereafter known or discovered, in perpetuity throughout the world, without limitation or restriction, and with the right to make changes or alterations to such photographs and recordings. On behalf of myself and, if applicable, on behalf of my child or ward, I hereby waive any right to inspect or approve such photographs and, any changes or alterations thereto or the use thereof, and on my behalf and, if applicable, on behalf of my child or ward, I acknowledge and agree that the rights granted pursuant to this Section 4 are without compensation of any kind. All Photographs and/or Recordings are exclusive to KIDS PLAYS.

I agree that if any dispute shall arise from this Assumption of Risk, Release and Waiver of Liability and Indemnity Agreement or from my or, if applicable, my child’s or ward’s use of the facilities and equipment of KIDS PLAYS or participation in the activities and related presence on the premises of KIDS PLAYS by me and, if applicable, my child and ward, I shall first engage in good faith efforts to mediate the dispute. Such mediator shall be licensed or certified in the State of Nebraska, and I agree to equally share the mediator’s costs and expenses. Any agreement reached will be formalized by a written agreement at that time. Should the issue not be resolved by mediation, I agree that all claims and disputes arising under or relating to this Assumption of Risk, Release and Waiver of Liability and Indemnity Agreement or the use of the facilities and equipment of KIDS PLAYS or participation in the activities and related presence on the premises of KIDS PLAYS by me or, if applicable, my child or ward are to be settled by binding arbitration in the state of Nebraska.

Any such arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator who shall be a retired judge of any Nebraska Court or Federal Court located in the State of Nebraska. An award of arbitration may be confirmed in any Nebraska State Court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a written statement of the essential findings and conclusions. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit any error of law or legal reasoning, and the award may be vacated or corrected on appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error. This arbitration provision is subject to the Uniform Arbitration Act adopted by Nebraska, and may be enforced in any Nebraska State Court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Nebraska.

I further expressly agree that this Assumption of Risk, Release and Waiver of Liability and Indemnity Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State of Nebraska and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full force and effect.
