There is an element of risk inherent in participating in artistic processes, handling artistic materials, and operating machinery. This being an equipment-intensive facility, it is important for users to understand that the equipment can be dangerous if used improperly and/or without teacher supervision. The following general waiver must be signed in order to participate in any educational program at Fallbrook School of the Arts as an instructor, student, volunteer, or to use the facilities and/or equipment as an independent user.

In consideration of my participation in the educational programs and/or use of the facilities and/or equipment as an independent user, I hereby discharge and forever hold harmless Fallbrook School of the Arts, its Board, staff, volunteers, and all agencies whose property and personnel are used as part of Fallbrook School of the Arts educational programs and any sponsoring, co-sponsoring or funding agency(ies) or individual(s) from any responsibility or liability what so ever for any injury, illness, death, property damage, loss, accident, delay or irregularity which may be occasioned for any reason whatsoever during the course of my participation. I understand there are additional potential dangers operating pottery wheels if I have a pacemaker as well as working with clay and glazes if I am pregnant. I certify that I am physically able to participate in all the activities for which I am enrolled. As further consideration for my participation and use of the facilities, I hereby expressly agree to waive all rights given by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California which might read as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known to him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

I also give my permission for Fallbrook School of the Arts to use without limitation or obligation: photographs, film footage, tape or video recordings which may include my (or my child’s) image, voice, or artwork.
