In consideration of the services of the City of Taylor, their agents, staff, volunteers, participants, employees and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as the City), I hereby agree to release, indemnify and discharge the City of Taylor on behalf of myself, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:

I acknowledge that participating in the City of Taylor Christmas Parade entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death or damage to myself, to property or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.
The risks include, among other things: leg injuries, arm injuries, head injuries and internal organ injuries; abrasions from falling or sliding; running out of control or beyond one’s personal limits; the negligence of other players and participants including visitors, spectators and others that may be present; musculoskeletal injuries and/or over training; head injuries; or my own negligence.
Furthermore, City of Taylor employees and agents have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant’s fitness or abilities. They may give inadequate warnings or instructions and the equipment being used might malfunction.
I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.
I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the City of Taylor from any and all claims, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of the City of Taylor’s equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of the City of Taylor.
Should the City of Taylor or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have.
In the event that I file a lawsuit against the City of Taylor, I agree to do so solely in the State of Texas, and I further agree that the substantive law of the State of Texas shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of laws of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against the City of Taylor on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein.
I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.
 

I agree that I am 18 years old or above, or the legal guardian of any child under the age of 18 years old participating in this program or event. I agree that falsification of any information on this information/registration form may disqualify me or my child from this program or event.

In consideration of the acceptance of my or my child's information/registration form for this program or event, I hereby release the CITY OF TAYLOR and their agents, employees, officers, and servants from any and all damages and injuries which may occur while I or my child participates in this program or event. I further certify that I have legal authority to execute this release on behalf of myself or my child. I also agree that I have received and read this information/registration form completely.
