"Liability" includes all claims, demands and causes of action of any kind and all damages of any kind (including attorneys’ fees and costs), including but not limited to death, personal injury, property damage, or other loss, whether arising out of negligence, strict liability, or carelessness on the part of the Pablove Releasees or any other person or entity.

I authorize and consent to the disclosure and use of the Student's medical diagnosis and other medical information to determine the Student's eligibility and any limitations or restrictions to participation in the Shutterbugs program. In addition, the Student’s diagnosis code may be included in unidentified, confidential periodic survey instruments. Data from these surveys will be reviewed and used in research-based program evaluation. Student information will be unidentified to ensure privacy and confidentiality. Participation in surveys is voluntary and will in no way affect the student’s ability to participate in the program. The purpose of the surveys is to assess the impact of the Shutterbugs classes, to measure quality of life impacts on our students through the Shutterbugs curriculum, and to support further research and program growth.

These consents will remain in effect for as long as the Student is participating in the Pablove Shutterbugs program.

Expectations of a Participant, Parent/Guardian and Household Members*

My family and I have read the statement below and agree to abide by the expectations.

We expect our program to be the best of its kind. In order for your classes to be safe, fun, and enjoyable for all, we have some expectations we would like you to review before going to your first class.

We expect each participant to treat the instructor, volunteers, and fellow classmates with mutual respect and consideration.

We ask that you attend each class to the best of your ability and notify us in advance if you cannot make classes due to medical or any other reasons. If you cannot attend a class, you must notify Pablove staff or your instructor prior to class.

We ask that the Student comes to class on time and completes their photo assignments in a timely manner.

During any Pablove activity, the use or possession of alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, drugs, or sexual activity by participants is not allowed.

Pablove only reveals personal information about you or your medical history to volunteers on a need to know basis. However, we welcome your comments on how to do this best, and will adjust as necessary to address your concerns.

If you are unable or choose not to continue with your classes you must contact Pablove staff to make the appropriate changes as soon as practical. You may be asked to return any unused materials and equipment back to the foundation.

Pablove provides equipment and materials to students for use during their classes to enhance the learning experience. We ask that you take good care of your equipment and materials so you may enjoy the classes to their fullest degree possible.

Throughout the duration of the entire program, only Pablove Shutterbugs students are permitted to use the cameras they are given.

Pablove reserves the right to terminate participation if any of these expectations are not met.

Please respect the guidelines we have set in place, as they are designed to maximize your experience and provide you with the most beneficial learning environment. If unacceptable behavior continues, your participation in the program will be restricted.
