Career Experiences – Acceptance of Risks and Responsibility and Release of Liability Form

This document requires you to give up substantial legal rights. Please read and understand this document before you sign it. I understand that not all risks can be foreseen, there are some risks that are unpredictable, and that certain inherent risks cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. I am aware of the risks of participation in the Career Experience Event (“Activity”) by me or my student, which include, but are not limited to, the possibility of physical injury, fatigue, damage/destruction to property, and even death. I have been advised by Moraine Park Technical College (“College”, “MPTC”) that I am solely responsible for any and all costs if medical treatment is necessary and that the costs associated with preliminary tests, vaccinations, diagnostic tests, and treatment associated with illness, injury, and blood and/or body fluids exposure is my responsibility. I know, understand, and appreciate the risks that are inherent in the activity for which I participate. I agree that Moraine Park Technical College is not responsible for lost or stolen items. I hereby assert that my or my student’s participation is voluntary and that I knowingly accept all such risk and responsibility. I understand that transportation will not be provided. I will notify MPTC (K12@morainepark.edu) and my student’s high school if my student is unable to attend.

An environment free of allergens, including but not limited to food allergens, cannot be guaranteed at Moraine Park Technical College. Moraine Park Technical College cannot guarantee that any particular food product prepared, sold, bought or brought to the Activity by another participant or visitor is free of allergens. I understand the storage and administration of medication is not the responsibility of Moraine Park Technical College.

I grant Moraine Park Technical College my permission to use any and all quotations, photographs, videos and/or other electronic images for promotion, education and/or other purposes. I waive any claim for financial compensation.

In consideration of my or my student’s participation in these activities, I, for myself, spouse, partner, heirs, personal representatives, estate or assigns, hereby waive, release, and discharge the College, including its Board of Trustees/Directors, administrators, officers, employees, teachers, agents and insurers, from any and all claims, causes of action, suits, damages, or liabilities sounding in negligence, which I have, shall have, or may have in the future against the College arising out of, based on, related to, or connected with, my or my student’s enrollment and participation in the Activity. This release of liability does not, however, apply to any intentional or reckless acts or conduct by the College.

This Agreement and Release shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, which shall be the forum for any lawsuits filed under, or incident to, this Agreement and Release. I understand that by agreeing to this clause I am releasing claims and giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. By signing this document, I acknowledge I have been fully informed of and understand the contents of this Agreement and Release. I am not relying on any oral or written representations, statements or inducements, apart from those made in this Agreement and Release. I also agree to hold Moraine Park Technical College, all staff participants, all facility host sites, and sponsors harmless for all personal injury, which might result from participation in any part of this program. This release applies to my student and me and our respective personal representatives, heirs and assigns. By signing this contract, I give my permission to Moraine Park Technical College to proceed with emergency medical care and to sign necessary medical release forms. This permission is given with the understanding that the attending physician deems emergency medical attention is necessary. Moraine Park will make every effort to reach the guardian prior to assuming the responsibility for signing a release for emergency medical treatment. I further acknowledge that primary health insurance for the participant will be under my coverage and is my responsibility. This authorization will be used only in the event that the guardian cannot be reached.
