SMARTY SPROUTS KIDS’ CLUB WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND RELEASE FORM

I, for myself and my child/children desire to use the facilities at SMARTY SPROUTS KIDS’ CLUB (“SMARTY SPROUTS”) located at: 3100 WILDFLOWER DRIVE, SUITE 300, BRYAN TX 77802. This Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release of Liability covers all activities at SMARTY SPROUTS.

I understand that adult supervision of each child by that child’s parent or authorized caregiver is required at all times.

I understand that my agreement and completion of this waiver on the first visit will authorize the SMARTY SPROUTS KIDS’ CLUB to use it as a continuous waiver for my child’s/children’s ongoing participation in the activities or use it as a waiver executed for my other child/children. I hereby expressly authorize SMARTY SPROUTS KIDS’ CLUB to use this waiver as a multi-use waiver until I have expressed to change this in writing.

RISK FACTORS ‐ I understand that the activities at SMARTY SPROUTS entail the risk of serious bodily injury. The risk of injuries includes (but is not limited to): minor injuries such as cuts and bruises and more serious injuries such as broken bones, dislocations, and muscle pulls. I and the participants named herein expressly and voluntarily assume all risks and full responsibility for any injury or loss resulting from activities at SMARTY SPROUTS. I am responsible for ensuring all participants will follow all rules of SMARTY SPROUTS and act in a safe and responsible manner. I will supervise all participants

ASSUMPTION OF RISK ‐ I am choosing to use the facilities at SMARTY SPROUTS at my own risk. I understand and acknowledge that the activities which I or/and any minor children for which I am the Parent, legal guardian, or otherwise responsible or any heirs or personal representative are about to voluntarily engage in as a participant and/or volunteer bears certain know risks and unanticipated risk could result in injury, illness, disease or death, physical or mental, or damage to myself, or to spectators or third-parties. I assume full responsibility for all risks that may arise from using the facilities at SMARTY SPROUTS or from participating in activities at SMARTY SPROUTS. SMARTY SPROUTS activities involve many risks, including but not limited to the following: All play equipment and all things inside the Premises entail certain risks that simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. Our play equipment exposes its participants to the usual risk of cuts and bruises. Other more serious risks exist as well. Participants often fall off equipment, sprain or break wrists and ankles, and can suffer more serious injuries as well. Traveling to and from one location raises the possibility of any manner of accidents. Coming down the slides can cause serious injury. Similar risks are also inherent in ball pit, play rooms and soft play structure, where children and adults can be injured. Also, injuries can be caused by coming into contact with other customers or persons at the facility. SMARTY SPROUTS has no control or is in no way liable for any injury resulting from other minors, parents, or guardians at the facility. In any event, if you or your child is injured, you or your child may require medical assistance, at your own expense. Furthermore, SMARTY SPROUTS employees, including managers and volunteers, 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 incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might become loose, out of adjustment, or malfunction. There is also a risk that SMARTY SPROUTS employees may be negligent in, among other things, monitoring and supervising use of its equipment and facilities and in the maintenance and repair of its equipment and facilities. I, the Parent or the Legal Guardian of my child, hereby understand and agree to accept the risk of bodily injury and/or property damage which the child or I may incur or cause a third party to incur as a result of our use of the Premises.
