Customers further agree that they are responsible for the proper use and care of the Premises and any of Company’s property thereon, and that Customers will be liable for the replacement cost of any Company property which is damaged, destroyed, or lost.
Assumption of Risk.

Customers understand that using a high temperature, glue gun in an inexpert or negligent manner may result in burns. Customers understand that using objects intended for cutting various materials used in the Activity in an inexpert or negligent manner may result in cuts or lacerations.

Customers understand that every aspect of the Activity may not be supervised and that the Company does not provide medical services. Customers further acknowledge that any injury Customers may sustain while participating in the Activity may be compounded by negligent or delayed medical service or negligent or delayed assistance by the Company. CUSTOMERS VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL RISKS AND DANGERS THAT MAY OCCUR PURSUANT TO MY USE OF THE PREMISES AND PARTICPATION IN ACTIVITIES ON THE PREMISES, INCLUDING THE RISK OF INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, EVEN IF CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE OF THE COMPANY. THIS DOES NOT RELEASE THE COMPANY FOR LIABILITY ARISING FROM RECKLESS OR INTENTIONAL ACTS BY THE COMPANY.
Release from Liability. Customers hereby agree, on behalf of themselves, their heirs, and their personal representatives, to fully and forever discharge and release Company and its affiliates, and their respective partners, agents, operators, managers, employees, and representatives (“Released Parties”) from any and all claims Customers may have or hereinafter have for any injury, temporary or permanent disability, death, damages, liabilities, expenses and/or causes of action, now known or hereinafter known in any jurisdiction, attributable or relating in any manner to Customers’ entry upon and use of the Premises and participation in the Activity, whether caused by the negligence of the Company or any of the Released Parties or by any other reason. Customers acknowledge and agree that this Release and Waiver of Liability for a Potentially Dangerous Activity is intended to be, and is, a complete release, as much as allowed by law, of any responsibility of the Released Parties for all personal injuries, temporary or permanent disability, death, and/or property damage sustained by a Customer while on or using the Premises or participating in the Activity.
Covenant Not to Sue. Customers agree, for themselves and all their heirs, successors, and assigns, not to sue the Released Parties or initiate or assist in the prosecution of any claim for damages or cause of action against the Released Parties which they or their heirs may have as a result of any personal injury, death, or property damage a Customer may sustain while on or using the Premises or while participating in the Activity, based upon a Released Party’s negligence or any acts by a third party.
Indemnification. Customers hereby agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company and the Released Parties from and against any third-party losses, damages, actions, suits, claims, judgments, settlements, awards, interest, penalties, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and costs of any kind for any personal injury, loss of life, or damage to property sustained by reason of or arising out of Customers’ use of the Premises or participation in any Activities on the Premises based upon the Company’s or Released Parties’ negligence. This does not release the Company or Released Parties from liability for reckless or intentional acts.
Medical Treatment Release. Customers hereby authorize the Company to secure, and Customers consent to, any medical treatment that may be given to them should the Company determine, in its sole discretion, that they need medical care, as a result of Customers being on the Premises or from participating in the Activity. Customers accept full responsibility for all costs related to my medical treatment, including any transport costs, and Customers release all parties involved from any type of liability for anything that may happen during their treatment or transport.
Responsibility for Personal Property. Customers acknowledge and agree that they are fully and solely responsible for any of their property and personal belongings that they bring onto the Premises or that they use during the Activity, and that the Company will not be responsible for or provide any security for their property or personal belongings.
No Representations by Company. Customers acknowledge that Company makes no representation as to the condition of the Premises or the safety of the Activity or any equipment either on the Premises or used in the Activity. Customers accept and shall use the Premises, and its equipment, in its “AS IS” condition. Customers acknowledge and agree that they are not relying upon any representation or statement by the Company or the Company’s employees, agents, sponsors, or representatives regarding this agreement or the Premises or Activity, except to the extent such representations are expressly set forth in this agreement.
Prohibition on Competing Activities. (“Noncompete Clause”) For a term of six (6) months following the date of any Activity for which a Customer registered, as consideration for the Company educating and performing the Activity with the Customer, the Customer shall not:
Create, produce, or sell any product that is substantially similar to the products created and sold by the Company, except for personal use and not offered to the public for sale;
Offer educational services teaching others how to create products in a manner that competes with the Activities or in a manner substantially similar to any set of Activities in which the Customer participated; or
Solicit or attempt to solicit any Customers or clients of the Company for the purpose of providing competing product creation or education services.
Geographic Limitation. The Noncompete Clause shall be limited to the geographic area within twenty (20) miles of the City of Madison, Wisconsin.
Liquidated Damages. The Customers agree that, in the event of a breach of the Noncompete Clause, the Company shall be entitled to recover liquidated damages in the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) from each Customer who breaches or assists another breaching Customer, which the parties agree represents a reasonable estimate of the damages that would be incurred by the Company as a result of such breach. The Client acknowledges that this amount is not a penalty but is a fair and reasonable measure of damages, given the difficulty of calculating actual harm, such as the Company’s reduced sales or harm to the Company’s reputation.
Governing Law and Venue. This Release and Waiver of Liability agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law of such state.

Survival. Any provision of this Release and Waiver of Liability agreement providing for performance by either party after termination of this agreement shall survive such termination and shall continue to be effective and enforceable.
Compliance with Laws. In the performance of the terms of this Release and Waiver of Liability agreement and use of the Premises, the parties shall comply with all applicable federal, state, regional and local laws, rules and regulations.
Severability. If any provision or portion of this Release and Waiver of Liability agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions or portions shall remain in full force and effect.
