Book Making & Repair

Liability Waiver and Photo Release: I understand that I am participating in a live class or demonstration which may involve a number of tools (such as, but not limited to, welding equipment, woodworking tools, cutting devices, soldering tools, etc.). Although I will be supervised by CIF staff, members, or instructors, I fully understand that any tool can be hazardous and that a number of dangerous conditions may apply to my activity, such as sharp objects, spinning, rotating or moving blades, bits, or other tool components, hot objects or equipment, and/or exposure to materials that may be toxic or dangerous if ingested or otherwise improperly handled. With this knowledge, accept full responsibility for my own safety and conduct and will hold the Columbus Idea Foundry, its instructors, and members harmless for any accidents or incidents that may occur as a result of this class, demonstration, or activity. I understand that appropriate safety gear will be provided and if I choose not to wear it, I am solely responsible for any harm that comes to be because of that decision. I certify that I am in good physical and mental condition and free of any medications, drugs, or alcohol that will affect my ability to perform this activity safely and as directed. I agree to follow all instructions and safety precautions including wearing appropriate safety devices at all times, and to refrain from touching or manipulating any piece of equipment at this facility which I have not been instructed to handle. I understand that I may be held responsible for any unapproved actions which result in injury or property damage. If I am disruptive to a class/event or not being safe, I may be asked to leave the activity and I will not receive a refund. Additionally, I understand that occasionally, people representing various media outlets or the Columbus Idea Foundry itself may take photographs or video of classes, events, or activities. I authorize these media outlets and the Columbus Idea Foundry to use, reproduce and/or publish photographs and/or video that may pertain to me—including my image, likeness, and/or voice without compensation and that this material may be used in various publications in print or online, for recruitment material, or other related endeavors.
