On
behalf of my child, (named above), I hereby release, discharge and waive
any suit, action, claim or any other proceeding of any nature that might
otherwise be brought against The Cat Fanciers’ Association, Inc. (CFA)
or any member club, judge, clerk, steward or any person acting on behalf
of CFA or any member club, judge, clerk or steward regarding any injury
or illness arising or alleged to have arisen in any manner whatsoever
out of my child’s participation in the CFA Junior Showmanship Program.
I voluntarily execute this Release and Waiver in full knowledge and appreciation
that my child will, during his/her participation in the program, be exposed
to and will handle cats, and will be in show halls in the presence of
many people and cats. I fully realize and appreciate that cats may bite
and/or scratch, and that bites and scratches may result in serious illnesses
or injuries. I also fully realize and appreciate that exposure to cats
may result in allergies or other injuries even if no biting or scratching
takes place. Finally, I realize that my child’s participation will require
his/her presence in public facilities, and that he/she will be subjected
to such accidental injuries or illnesses as may from time to time occur
to members of the public present in such facilities. I execute this Release
and Waiver in belief that the potential benefits to my child resulting
from his/her participation in the CFA Youth Development Program outweigh
the risk of illness or injury involved, and I fully understand that the
execution of the Release and Waiver is a condition of my child’s participation
in the program.
