Recruiting Disclaimer
Sharpen Up DTT’s events, including The Sharpen Up Summit, are designed to educate dancers and provide opportunities to connect with college coaches and recruiters. While we strive to create a valuable platform for exposure and networking, participation does not guarantee recruitment, scholarship offers, or placement on any college team. All recruiting decisions are made solely by the college programs involved.
I understand that participation in any sport, including dancing at THE SHARPEN UP SUMMIT, carries inherent risks of injury, including but not limited to serious permanent injury, paralysis, and death. I voluntarily and knowingly assume all such risks on behalf of my child. To minimize the risk of injury, I agree to instruct my child to obey all safety rules and to report any physical problems to event staff immediately.
By purchasing this pass, I certify that:
My child is not currently under the care of a physician for any injury or illness that would prevent safe participation in the event;
My child is not currently being treated for or recovering from any orthopedic injury that would prevent safe participation;
My child is in good health and there is no reason he or she cannot safely participate in strenuous physical activity.
I understand that I may be required to provide proof of insurance or the name and policy number of my child’s health insurance provider, and I agree to do so upon request by SHARPEN UP DTT LLC.
A legal guardian must sign this waiver if the participant is under 18 years old.
In consideration of my child’s participation in THE SHARPEN UP SUMMIT, I hereby agree that I am responsible for all costs associated with any injury or loss that my child may sustain while participating in the event. I also certify that I carry health insurance that provides adequate coverage for any injuries or illnesses my child may sustain during the event.
By checking the box and submitting this form, I acknowledge that I voluntarily and knowingly release, discharge, and agree to hold harmless SHARPEN UP DTT LLC, its employees, agents, officers, affiliates, and the State of Arizona from any and all claims, demands, damages, or liabilities, including claims arising from the ordinary negligence of SHARPEN UP DTT or its employees or agents.
This release applies to all claims of injury or damages, including those arising from ordinary negligence. This waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted under applicable law.
I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SHARPEN UP DTT LLC and its employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or related to my child’s participation in THE SHARPEN UP SUMMIT, including but not limited to claims brought by my child or any other third party.
By checking the box below and submitting this form, I give permission for SHARPEN UP DTT and its employees to seek and obtain medical treatment for my child in the event of an accident or illness during the event.
I give consent for my child to be photographed, video-recorded, or audio-recorded during the event, and I agree that such images and recordings may be used for educational, promotional, or public relations purposes by SHARPEN UP DTT.
I consent to SHARPEN UP DTT sharing my child’s contact information with college coaches in attendance at the event.
I understand and agree that this waiver is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, and I agree to submit to the jurisdiction of Arizona should any dispute arise from my child’s participation in the event.
If any provision of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.
By checking the box and submitting this form, I certify that I have read, understood, and agree to all the terms in this waiver and release form. If the participant is under 18 years old, I am the legal guardian and I agree to these terms on behalf of my child.
