WAIVER, RELEASE INDEMNITY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT

In consideration of being allowed to participate in the 2026 Auditions for Morristown ONSTAGE, I hereby acknowledge and agree to the following:

1.    I agree to indemnify, hold free and harmless, assume liability for, and defend the Morris School District Board of Education (“BOE”), its chartered affiliates, agents, servants, employees, administrators, Board Members, and the Morris Educational Foundation and its Board Members, employees, volunteers, successors and assigns (collectively the "MEF"), from any and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorney’s fees,  reasonable investigative and discovery costs,  court costs,  and all other sums which the BOE, its chartered affiliates, agents, servants, employees, administrators, and Board Members may pay or become obligated to pay, all and every demand for, claim or assertion of liability or any claim or action founded thereon, arising or alleged to have arisen out of my use or potential use of district facilities, equipment, or fields.

2.    I understand that Morris School District property, facilities, and equipment includes, but is not limited to, all areas identified in the application and/or permit, sidewalks, walkways, parking lots, entrances, stairs, and all other areas incidental to and/or connected with the use of the premises.

3.    I agree to bind myself, my successors and assigns, and will indemnify and hold harmless the District and the MEF from any and all loss, including, but not limited to, damage or injury, pain, suffering, illness, or loss, including death, that may occur as a result of the voluntary activity. I further agree that if a suit is brought against the District or the MEF for any claim released, or any risk or liability assumed, by me under this Agreement, that I will be responsible for attorney’s fees and any costs incurred by the District or the MEF in defending such action. As a condition for use of property of the District, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree to defend, indemnify, save and hold harmless the MEF and the Morris School District, its employees, representatives, and agents from any and all losses, claims, liabilities, demands, lawsuits, allegations, and judgments, including attorney fees and recoverable costs, (singularly or collectively 'claims') including claims for bodily, emotional, and personal injury, property damage or loss, brought or made against it, arising out of, relating to, caused by, or resulting from my use of the District’s facilities, including claims relating to, arising out of, or caused by the physical condition of the facilities, whether or not the basis of the claim(s) was caused by or contributed to, in whole or in part, by me, my successors and assigns.

4.    I expressly agree that I have carefully read this Agreement and understand its effects. This is a binding legal document, an enforceable contract and not a mere recital. It is the intent of the parties that if any part of this Agreement is held invalid, then the remainder of its provisions will remain enforceable to the fullest extent allowable by law.

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND HAVE SIGNED IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT, ASSURANCE, OR GUARANTEE BEING MADE TO ME AND INTEND MY SIGNATURE TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW.
