Common use of Other Small Groups Clause in Contracts

Other Small Groups. In rare instances, the Adult Hold Harmless/Indemnity Agreement can be used for very small groups that do not have liability insurance. Similar to the adult athletic participation, in these cases an Adult Hold Harmless/Indemnity Agreement must be obtained from each individual of each group who utilizes parish facilities. When dealing with large groups, it is not feasible to have each group member sign an agreement. Considering this, large groups must sign the Facility Usage/Indemnity Agreement, which requires insurance. The Adult Hold Harmless/Indemnity Agreement is a legal contract between your parish and the individual who signs the agreement. The agreement will effectively bar the signer of the agreement from making a claim against the parish. Please note that the Adult Hold Harmless/Indemnity Agreement is only valid when the signer is at least 18 years of age. The parish should not alter the agreement in any way as an alteration could result in nullifying the legality of the agreement. Original copies of signed Adult Hold Harmless/Indemnity Agreements should be kept in parish files for at least two years. Injuries and accidents are often not promptly reported, necessitating the need for original copies to be maintained.
