ASSUMPTION OF RISK/WAIVER OF LIABILITY/COVENANT NOT TO SUE/AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY/CONSENT TO USE OF LIKENESS

I as the parent/guardian with legal responsibility for a camper attending Cooperstown Dreams Park (“My Camper”), I understand and acknowledge that baseball is a vigorous team sport at times involving severe cardiovascular stress and violent physical contact. I understand that baseball involves certain risks, including but not limited to cardiac arrest, death, serious neck and spinal injuries resulting in complete or partial paralysis, brain damage and serious injury to virtually all bones, joints, muscles and internal organs, and that equipment provided for my protection may be inadequate to prevent serious injury. I further understand that baseball involves a particularly high risk of ankle, knee, head and neck injury. In addition, I understand that participation at Cooperstown Dreams Park involves activities incidental thereto, including but not limited to, travel to and from the site activity, participation at sites that may be remote from available medical assistance, and the possible reckless conduct of other participants, campers, and guests.

Notwithstanding the risk, My Camper is voluntarily participating at Cooperstown Dreams Park, with my consent, with knowledge of the danger involved and, by clicking the “Accept” button below, I hereby agree to accept and assume any and all risks and dangers of My Camper’s presence and participation at Cooperstown Dreams Park, including but not limited to the risk of property damage, personal injury, infectious diseases, such as flu/Covid-19, or death.  

By clicking the “Accept“ button below, and consideration of My Camper being allowed to attend and participate in Cooperstown Dreams Park programs, related events and activities, I hereby agree, on behalf of myself and My Camper, our estates, heirs and their personal representatives or assigns, to fully and forever discharge and release Cooperstown Dreams Park, Inc. and all of its affiliates and sponsors, the owners and lessors of the real property and their respective owners, partners, agents, operators, managers, employees, volunteers, and representatives (“Released Parties“) from any and all present and future claims resulting from ordinary negligence on the part of the Released Parties for property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising as a result of My Camper’s presence at and participation in Cooperstown Dreams Park programs and activities incidental thereto, wherever, whenever or however the same may occur. 

I acknowledge and agree that Cooperstown Dreams Park and the Released Parties are not responsible for any injury and/or illness (or loss of property) to any person suffered while playing, practicing or in any other way involved in Cooperstown Dreams Park activities for any reason whatsoever, including ordinary negligence.

I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cooperstown Dreams Park and all Released Parties for any and all claims arising as a result of my camper engaging in or receiving instruction in Cooperstown Dreams Park programs and activities or any activities incidental thereto, wherever, whenever or however the same may occur. My camper has adequate personal health or athletic participant liability insurance to cover their participation while at Cooperstown Dreams Park. 

I give Cooperstown Dreams Park, Inc. or its designee the irrevocable right to take and use My Camper’s name, picture, likeness, photograph, film, videotape, interviews and/or verbal statement in all forms and media and in all manners for any advertising, promotional, Internet (website, webcasting and broadband broadcasting), TV and/or publicity purposes of Cooperstown Dreams Park, Inc. I waive any rights I may have in connection with any use of the material, including any right to inspect or approve the finished use, including any written copy that may be created in connection with such use.

I understand that this Assumption of Risk/Waiver of Liability/Covenant not to Sue/ Agreement to Indemnify/Consent to Use of Likeness is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of New York and agree that if any portion is held invalid the remainder of the waiver will continue in full legal force and effect.  I further agree that the venue for any legal proceeding between myself and any of the Released Parties shall be in the state of New York.

I agree that My Camper will promote an atmosphere of dignity and respect and will not tolerate bullying, harassment or discrimination of any kind. My Camper further understand that racial and sexual harassment and the use of racist, ethnic or sexist slurs of any kind is strictly forbidden and that taunting and bullying are strictly forbidden. My Camper agrees to refrain from provocative behavior and avoid confrontation with others on baseball-related and non-baseball related topics, including provocative political speech. I understand that verified instances of a violation of this policy will result in ejection and/or suspension of the participants (players, parents or coaches) involved in the incident and may result in cancellation of a team’s placement, revocation of grandfather status, and/or removal from Cooperstown Dreams Park.

I further agree to instruct My Camper to comply with the terms, conditions and rules for attendance and participation at Cooperstown Dreams Park.
