However, the City and Participant understand that the City is not released from liability for harm incurred by Participant which results from the City’s intentional or reckless conduct. These Activities will be performed on City property, specifically De Pere Fire Station # 1: 400 Lewis St.

Liability Statement Spanish
Por el presente comprendo y acuerdo que el propósito único de este programa es ayudar a reducir las incidencias de la instalación y uso incorrectos de asientos para niños, butacas para asientos de niños y cinturones de seguridad, y que esta inspección y demostración me son provistas como un servicio educativo gratuito. Reconozco que los patrocinadores del programa y los técnicos de seguridad de niños pasajeros matriculados que inspeccionan los asientos no pueden evaluar totalmente la calidad, seguridad ni la condición del asiento para niños, butacas para asientos de niños, el asiento del vehículo, los cinturones de seguridad, ni ningún componente del vehículo, ni ahora ni en el futuro. Más aún, comprendo que las acciones llevadas a cabo en este programa no garantizarán la seguridad de mi hijo en un accidente de automóvil. Comprendo que es importante leer y cumplir el manual de instrucción del vehículo y del asiento para niños. Por todos estos motivos, por el presente eximo a todo participante del programa, toda organización o individuo participante, incluyendo al propietario del asiento, de cualquier responsabilidad presente o futura por las lesiones o daños que pudieran surgir en un accidente automovilístico o de otra manera.
