I understand that the covered parties are not responsible for any personal property that is lost, stolen or damaged at LIGHTHOUSE SKATEPARK. In the event that I do file a claim against LIGHTHOUSE SKATEPARK LLC, I agree on behalf of the Participant and me that any such claim shall be settled by binding arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such arbitration shall be conducted in Providence, Rhode Island before a single arbitrator, who shall be selected by mutual agreement. I further agree that the substantive law of Rhode Island shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of Rhode Island. I understand and give permission that the possibility exists that I/the Participant may be photographed and or videotaped due to the various activities at LIGHTHOUSE SKATEPARK.

This includes acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public space where people are present, and holding LIGHTHOUSE SKATEPARK LLC blameless for any exposure while on its premises. I give consent and permission to LIGHTHOUSE SKATEPARK or a covered party to obtain on the behalf of my minor child, the Participant, or me any emergency medical attention and treatment at my sole expense. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage that I/the Participant may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage to the Participant or me.

I hereby represent that no special relationship exists between me/the Participant and any of the covered parties and that I am not under any physical, economic or other compulsion to sign this Agreement. On my own behalf and on behalf of the Participant, I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, EVEN ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES or others, and assume full responsibility for my/the Participant’s participation while on the premises of LIGHTHOUSE SKATEPARK.
