I understand and acknowledge that the activities that I or my child engage in while on the premises or under the auspices of MCE pose known and unknown risks which could result in injury, paralysis, death, emotional distress or damage to me, my child, to property, or to third parties. The following describes some, but not all of those risks: Cheerleading and gymnastics, including performances of stunts and use of trampolines, entail certain risks that simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. Without a certain degree of risk, cheerleading students would not improve their skills and the enjoyment of the sport would be diminished. Cheerleading and gymnastics expose participants to the usual risk of cuts and bruises, and other more serious risks as well. Participants often fall, sprain or break wrists and ankles, and can suffer more serious injuries. Traveling to and from shows, meets and exhibitions raises the possibilities of any manner of transportation accidents. In any event, if you or your child is injured, medical assistance may be required which you must pay for yourself. 2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks, known and unknown, connected with MCE- related activities, including but not limited to performance of stunts and use of trampolines. My participation and that of my child is purely voluntary. No one has force or coerced me or my child to participate. I elect for myself and my children to participate in such activities in spite of the risks. 3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge and agree to hold harmless and indemnify MCE from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions or rights of actions, which are related to, arise out of or are in any way connected with my child's participation in MCE-related activities. 4. Should MCE be required to incur attorney's fees and cost to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and reimburse them for such fee's and costs. 5. I certify that my child has health, accident and liability insurance to cover bodily injury or property damage that may be caused or suffered while participating in this event or activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage to my child. I further certify that I am willing to assume and bear the costs of all risks that may arise or be created, directly or indirectly, through or by any such condition.

In the event that I file a lawsuit against MCE, I agree to do solely in the State of Ohio and I further agree that the substantive and procedural laws in that state shall apply in any such action without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. 7. By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation or the participation of any of my children in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against MCE on the basis of any claim from which I have released MCE by signing this Agreement. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read it and understand it. I agree to be bound by it's terms.
