IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE: This Agreement affects your legal rights. Read it completely before signing. By signing, you acknowledge serious risks and release certain claims, including claims based on ordinary negligence, to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law.

1. Activity and Parties

I voluntarily choose to participate in a glassmaking, glassblowing, torchworking, kilnworking, demonstration, workshop, private lesson, studio session, or related activity identified in this form, including preparation, instruction, equipment use, movement through the studio, and entry to and exit from the premises (the “Activity”). The Activity is offered by Elev8 Premier LLC, doing business as Liquid Arts.

“Released Parties” means Elev8 Premier LLC d/b/a Liquid Arts and, solely in connection with the Activity, its owners, members, managers, officers, employees, instructors, independent contractors, agents, volunteers, landlords, premises owners, successors, and assigns.

2. Eligibility and Voluntary Participation

I represent that I am at least 18 years old and legally competent to sign. Participation is voluntary. A participant under 18 must use the separate parent/legal guardian agreement.

3. Acknowledgment of Risks

I understand that the Activity involves inherent and other serious risks that cannot be eliminated even when reasonable care and safety rules are used, including: molten or hot glass and materials at extreme temperatures; furnaces, glory holes, kilns, torches, open flames, hot tools, metal equipment, pressurized gases, electricity, and ventilation systems; sharp or broken glass, flying particles, cuts, punctures, burns, scarring, eye injuries, and respiratory irritation; heat stress, smoke, fumes, dust, noise, fire, chemicals, slips, trips, falls, collisions, dropped tools, physical exertion, repetitive motion, acts or omissions of participants or others, equipment malfunction, unsafe conditions, delayed emergency response, property damage, serious injury, disability, disfigurement, or death. This list is illustrative and not complete. Some risks may be unknown or unforeseeable.

4. Voluntary Assumption of Risk

I knowingly and freely accept and assume all inherent and other risks of the Activity, known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, including risks arising from the ordinary negligence of a Released Party, to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law.

5. Release of Liability and Covenant Not to Sue

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY COLORADO LAW, I RELEASE, WAIVE, AND DISCHARGE THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE A RELEASED PARTY FOR, ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY, OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO MY PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITY OR MY PRESENCE ON OR MOVEMENT THROUGH THE PREMISES, INCLUDING CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF A RELEASED PARTY.

This Agreement does not release claims Colorado law does not permit to be released, including gross negligence, reckless conduct, willful or wanton conduct, intentional misconduct, or a nonwaivable duty.

6. Participant Safety Responsibilities

I will follow instructions, warnings, posted rules, and required procedures; use required protective equipment and proper clothing/closed-toe footwear; secure hair and loose items; not participate while impaired or otherwise unsafe; disclose restrictions relevant to safe participation; use only authorized equipment; report hazards, injuries, and unclear instructions; and stop when directed or when I cannot continue safely. Liquid Arts may refuse, pause, modify, or end participation when safety is at risk.

7. Emergency Assistance and Medical Costs

If I cannot provide instructions, I authorize reasonable emergency assistance. Released Parties are not medical providers and cannot guarantee care. I accept responsibility for medical, ambulance, transportation, and related expenses except where prohibited by law.

8. Personal Property and Participant-Caused Loss

I accept the risk of damage to personal property. I am responsible for injury or damage directly caused by my intentional misconduct or material failure to follow safety instructions. I do not indemnify a Released Party for liability that cannot lawfully be shifted.

9. Colorado Law, Venue, and Severability

Colorado law governs. To the extent permitted by law, proceedings must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in El Paso County, Colorado. Invalid provisions will be limited only as necessary; the remainder stays effective.

10. Entire Agreement and Electronic Records

This Agreement is the entire agreement on these subjects and may be changed only in a written record agreed to by me and Elev8 Premier LLC. Electronic records and counterparts may be treated as originals. My checked acknowledgments, typed name, drawn signature, or other electronic signing action are adopted with intent to sign.
