1. INDEPENDENT INSTRUCTOR STATUS I, the undersigned Skater (or Parent/Guardian of Skater), acknowledge that [Lead Instructor ] (operating as skatelesson.net) is an independent instructor and is not an employee, agent, or representative of Laurel Skating Center, Sk8Zone, or any other facility where lessons occur.

I voluntarily assume all risks of personal injury, property damage, or death arising from participation in these lessons.
3. SAFETY GEAR ADVISORY GlideFit Maryland strongly recommends the use of a helmet, wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads for all participants, regardless of skill level. I acknowledge that failing to wear protective gear increases the risk of significant injury. If I choose to skate without this gear, I do so at my own peril and release GlideFit Maryland from any liability resulting from that choice.
4. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY To the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, I hereby release, waive, and discharge skatelesson.net from all claims, demands, or causes of action for personal injury or property damage arising out of my participation in skating lessons, even if caused by ordinary negligence.
5. BINDING ARBITRATION & JURISDICTION (HARFORD COUNTY) In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these lessons, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter through informal mediation. If mediation fails, the matter shall be settled by binding arbitration.
