PERSONAL WAIVER
I agree to follow all health and safety measures outlined by Encore Creativity Corporation, regarding Covid-19. Risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness or worse. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, older adults and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.
I voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
I grant permission to Encore to record, reproduce and use my likeness and voice (singing and speech) at any time while I am a member of the organization and to use any and all recordings, photographs, film, or video for an unlimited use in any manner the organization may choose at any time, whether or not I remain a member of the organization.
By providing my permission, I agree that I will not assert or maintain against Encore, its successors, assigns and/or licensees, any claim, action, suit or demand of any kind or nature whatsoever, including but not limited to, those grounded upon invasion of privacy, rights of publicity or other civil rights, or for any other reason in connection with Encore’s use of my sound or likeness in any manner herein provided.
I hereby release Encore, its successors, assigns and licensees, and each of them, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, demands, actions, causes of action(s), costs, and expenses whatsoever, at law or in equity, known or unknown, anticipated, or unanticipated, which I ever had, now have, or may or shall hereafter have, by reason, matter, cause, or thing arising out of Encore’s use as herein provided.
ENCORE REFUND POLICY
We will honor individual requests for a full refund until your registered program's second rehearsal is complete. After this point, no refunds will be issued. If circumstances warrant a shut-down of in-person rehearsals, Encore has added online rehearsals to cover any sessions missed. Participants can continue the sessions online until in-person rehearsals are restored. Since an alternative form of study is available, no refunds for the shut-down of in-person rehearsals will be issued.
ENCORE CREDIT POLICY
Should special circumstances warrant that a singer must withdraw from programs, a credit may be issued to use toward future program participation, if requested within the first half of the season.
ENCORE CREATIVITY CODE OF CONDUCT
