PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING OR CHECKING THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT BOX. THIS IS A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT THAT RELEASES CONGREGATION OHEV SHALOM FROM LIABILITY, INCLUDES AN EXPRESS NEGLIGENCE WAIVER UNDER TEXAS LAW, PROVIDES FOR INDEMNIFICATION FOR CLAIMS INVOLVING ANY ACCOMPANYING MINORS, AND CONTAINS A PERPETUAL MEDIA RELEASE.
This Agreement applies to the specific event, program, or ticket purchase currently being made, as well as to any and all past, present, and future attendance, visits, ad-hoc gatherings, youth activities, holiday celebrations, services, and presence on the property, grounds, buildings, playgrounds, and facilities of Congregation Ohev Shalom, Inc., or at any off-site events sponsored, hosted, or organized by Congregation Ohev Shalom, Inc. (collectively, "Ohev"). Once signed or accepted electronically, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect perpetually for all future visits and events, unless revoked in a writing delivered to Ohev leadership and agreed upon in writing.
I ("Purchaser / Adult Participant") execute this Agreement on behalf of myself and on behalf of ANY AND ALL minor children who attend, participate, accompany me, or are registered under my ticket purchase or family order (collectively, "Covered Minors"), whether or not individually named at the time of purchase. I warrant and represent that I am either the legal parent/guardian of all Covered Minors, OR I have express, written, and irrevocable authority from their legal parent(s)/guardian(s) to enter into this Agreement on their behalf. If I register, purchase tickets for, or bring minor children for whom I am not the legal parent or guardian, I agree to personally step into the shoes of an indemnitor and fully defend and hold harmless Ohev against any claims brought by or on behalf of such minors or their parents/guardians as set forth in Section 6.
I acknowledge that participation in youth events, recreational activities, sports, games, inflatables, obstacle courses, bounce houses, crafts, and general attendance on Ohev property involves inherent risks of harm, including but not limited to bodily injury, sickness, disease, permanent disability, property damage, or death. Activities may utilize equipment owned by Ohev, rental equipment, or equipment brought and operated by third-party vendors, contractors, or entertainers. ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND ALL COVERED MINORS, I VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL RISKS, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ASSOCIATED WITH PRESENCE ON OHEV PROPERTY OR PARTICIPATION IN OHEV ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING RISKS ARISING FROM PREMISES DEFECTS, EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION, THIRD-PARTY VENDOR OPERATIONS, OR THE NEGLIGENCE OF OHEV OR OTHERS.
Ohev events and facilities are open, communal environments where food, snacks, and beverages may be prepared, served, or brought in by Ohev, caterers, third-party vendors, or other parents and participants. While Ohev may make reasonable efforts to designate certain items or areas, OHEV DOES NOT GUARANTEE AN ALLERGEN-FREE ENVIRONMENT. Common food allergens (including peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, dairy, eggs, wheat/gluten, soy, and fish) may be present, handled, or shared on the premises.
Attendance and food/beverage consumption are strictly AT YOUR OWN RISK. I acknowledge that it is my sole responsibility to monitor and supervise myself and all Covered Minors regarding dietary restrictions, food sensitivities, and potential cross-contamination. On behalf of myself and all Covered Minors, I assume all risks of allergic reactions, foodborne illness, or ingestion of harmful substances and release Ohev from any liability related thereto.
As an integral and non-severable condition of entry, ticket purchase, and participation, I hereby grant Congregation Ohev Shalom, Inc. an absolute, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license and right to photograph, videotape, audio-record, and capture the image, voice, likeness, and appearance of myself and any Covered Minors in connection with any past, present, or future Ohev events or visits.
Ohev shall have the unreserved right to publish, reproduce, distribute, display, transmit, and broadcast such media in any format now known or hereafter created—including on websites, social media channels, print publications, newsletters, promotional videos, and community materials—without compensation, notification, or inspection rights.
