RELEASE + WAIVER
of liability
By enrolling my child/myself in any class, camp, workshop, open studio, or event (collectively, "Activities") at District DabbleLab, I, the undersigned parent or legal guardian ("Parent"), agree to the following terms:
1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I understand that participation in creative and group activities involves inherent risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to, minor injuries (such as cuts, scrapes, burns, or allergic reactions), illness, emotional distress, property damage, or other unforeseen injuries arising from participation in Activities, the use of art materials or tools, interaction with other participants, or participation in Activities conducted indoors or outdoors, including nearby public or green spaces.
I voluntarily and knowingly assume all such risks on behalf of myself and my child, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of District DabbleLab.
2. RELEASE & WAIVER OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I hereby waive, release, and forever discharge District DabbleLab, its owners, employees, instructors, contractors, volunteers, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, or causes of action, whether known or unknown, arising out of or related to participation in the Activities.
3. TOOLS, MATERIALS & STUDIO ENVIRONMENT
I understand that Activities may involve the use of art supplies and tools such as scissors, hot glue, paint, clay, wood, beads, and other crafting materials. I acknowledge that District DabbleLab takes reasonable precautions to promote safety, but that risks remain inherent in hands-on creative activities.
4. BEHAVIOR & SAFETY EXPECTATIONS
I agree that my child will follow all studio rules, safety guidelines, and staff instructions. I understand that unsafe, disruptive, or inappropriate behavior may result in my child’s removal from an Activity without refund.
5. EMERGENCY MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION
In the event of an emergency and if I cannot be reached, I authorize District DabbleLab staff to administer basic first aid and to seek emergency medical treatment for my child. I understand that I am solely responsible for all medical expenses incurred as a result of injury or illness.
6. ALLERGIES, MEDICAL CONDITIONS & SPECIAL NEEDS
I agree to fully disclose all allergies, medical conditions, medications, sensory sensitivities, and special accommodation needs prior to participation. I understand that District DabbleLab cannot be responsible for incidents resulting from undisclosed or inaccurate information.
7. PERSONAL BELONGINGS
I understand that District DabbleLab is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to personal belongings brought to the studio.
8. PHOTO & MEDIA RELEASE
Unless I opt out in writing prior to participation, I grant District DabbleLab permission to photograph and/or record my child and their artwork for marketing, promotional, educational, and social media purposes, without compensation.
9. REFUNDS, MISSED SESSIONS & CANCELLATIONS
I understand and agree that all fees are non-refundable. Missed sessions due to illness, vacation, or scheduling conflicts are not eligible for refunds or make-ups. In the event District DabbleLab cancels an Activity, a credit may be issued at the studio’s discretion.
10. DROP-OFF, PICK-UP & LATE FEES
I understand that District DabbleLab is responsible for my child only during scheduled Activity times. Children may not be left unattended before drop-off or after pick-up times. A late pick-up fee of $1 per minute will apply after a five-minute grace period.
11. INDEMNIFICATION
I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless District DabbleLab and the Releasees from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from my child’s participation in the Activities.
12. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
13. GOVERNING LAW & VENUE
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. Any legal action arising from this agreement shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Montgomery County, Maryland.
