TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Assumption of Risk Agreement and Release

I understand and agree and do hereby declare as follows:

Whereas, the Continuing Education Center at the American University of Beirut (“AUB”) is organizing a Summer Program designed for the children of alumni and friends of AUB (the “Program”), which Program consists among other things, of housing the participants in dormitory rooms on AUB’s Beirut campus; and

Whereas, I have been accepted to participate in the Program, subject to my agreement to observe AUB’s rules and regulations, and in particular the requirement not to sleep out of the dormitory or to violate the curfew set from time to time by AUB; and

Whereas, I understand that security risks are inherent to travel to Lebanon and participation in the program at the AUB campus, and the Continuing Education Center has advised me that while AUB is dedicated to the safety and security of Program participants, AUB cannot and does not assure or otherwise assume any responsibility for my safety and security, particularly those risks resulting from or arising out of or incident of my staying the night out of the dormitory, or violating the AUB curfew, or my failure to disclose a health condition;

Now therefore, in consideration for my participation in the Program, I hereby assume all responsibility for and any and all risk of personal injury, death, property loss or damage that may occur to me arising from my participation in the Program, including relating to any health condition of mine, and release and forever discharge for myself, my family, my administrators, executors, heirs and assigns, AUB and its related entities, successors and assigns, past and present trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and all persons acting by, under, through or in concert with any of them (the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, judgments, liens, third-party lawsuits, costs and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees), losses, injuries, damages and charges of whatever nature whatsoever, present or future, whether known, anticipated or unanticipated, whether direct, consequential or incidental and resulting from or arising out of or incidental to my participation in the Program including relating to any health condition of mine. I further agree to indemnify and hold the Released Parties harmless from any and all claims that may be lodged against it and/or any or all of the Released Parties by any party resulting from or arising out of, or incidental to my participation in the Program, including relating to any health condition of mine, and to reimburse AUB and/or any or all of the Released Parties for any damages, costs, legal fees or any other expenses incurred in defending itself or any Released Party against or settling any claim in this respect.

This Assumption of Risk Agreement and Release shall be governed and interpreted under the laws of Lebanon. Furthermore, all the rights, obligations and claims arising out of this Assumption of Risk Agreement and Release shall be subject exclusively to the jurisdiction of the courts of Lebanon.

I HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT AND RELEASE AND KNOW THE CONTENTS THEREOF, AND THAT I SIGN THE SAME AT MY OWN FREE ACT AND DEED. MY PRESENCE AT THE PROGRAM IS VOLUNTARY AND CONDITIONED UPON MY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT AND RELEASE.
