1. PARTICIPATION & ASSUMPTION OF RISK 

I, the undersigned Parent/Guardian, understand and acknowledge that my child’s participation in a birthday party at the Studio involves hands-on crafting and art activities which may include, but are not limited to: cutting, gluing, painting, the use of small or sharp objects, use of hot glue guns, use of UV resin, and other materials or tools commonly used in DIY crafts. I acknowledge that while staff may provide guidance and supervision, there are inherent risks involved in handling crafting materials, including but not limited to burns from hot glue, cuts, scrapes, or allergic reactions. I voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risk of loss, personal injury, illness, property damage, or other harm that may arise from my child’s participation in these activities, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Studio. 

2. LIABILITY WAIVER & RELEASE 

I hereby waive, release, and discharge the Studio, its owners, employees, volunteers, contractors, and affiliates from any and all liability, claims, demands, damages, or causes of action for injuries or damages my child or I may sustain as a result of participation in the Studio’s activities or presence on its premises.

3. MEDICAL TREATMENT CONSENT
