I authorize but to not obligate St. Norbert College, Inc. to provide emergency medical treatment for “Minor” in the event of an accident or illness that occurs while participating in the “Activity”.

Knowing and understanding the risks involved with participation in the “Activity”, I hereby voluntarily and willingly assume responsibility for all risks and dangers associated with “Minor”s participation in the "Activity".

WAIVER/INDEMNITY: In consideration of “Minor”s participation in the "Activity", I hereby waive all claims or causes of action against St. Norbert College, Inc., the Premonstratensian Fathers, their officers, employees and agents thereof, arising out of “Minor”s participation in the “Activity” and hereby release, hold harmless, and discharge St. Norbert College, Inc., the Premonstratensian Fathers, their officers, employees and agents thereof from all liability in connection therewith except such loss or damage which was caused by the sole gross negligence or willful misconduct of St. Norbert College, Inc., the Premonstratensian Fathers, their officers, employees, and the agents thereof.

ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE: By checking the "Accept Participation Agreement" box in the online registration process and typing my name into the signature box, I agree that the act of checking the box and typing my name not only constitutes my acceptance of the agreement, but is also my electronic signature and is the legally binding equivalent to my handwritten signature. Whenever I execute an electronic signature, it has the same validity and meaning as my handwritten signature. I will not, at any time in the future, repudiate the meaning of my electronic signature or claim that my electronic signature is not legally binding.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING: I have read this agreement and understand the terms used in it and their legal significance. This “Participation Agreement” is freely and voluntarily signed with the understanding that the right to legal recourse against St. Norbert College, Inc., the Premonstratensian Fathers, their officers, employees and agents thereof is knowingly given up, except for such loss or damage which was caused by the sole gross negligence or willful misconduct of St. Norbert College, Inc., in return for allowing “Minor”s participation in the "Activity".
