railroad, bus company, taxi service, hotel, restaurant, school, university, or other firm, agency,

company or individual or any other related matter. I also release the University, its Board members,

employees, and agents and agree to indemnify and hold them harmless, with regard to any financial

obligations or liabilities that I may personally incur or any damage or injury to the person or property

of others that I may cause, while participating in the named program.

6. Local Laws and Prohibition of Illegal Drugs. I understand and agree that breaches of the local law

of the host community or country will be referred to and handled by the appropriate law enforcement

authorities. Regardless of the laws of any foreign country, I further agree that the use of illegal drugs

in any form, as governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas and the United States of America, will

not be tolerated and will be grounds for immediate expulsion, total forfeiture of all program fees and

loss of all course credit. I understand while I am a visitor in a foreign country, I will be subject to the

laws of that country.

7. Independent Travel And Operation of Vehicles. I understand and agree that (1) prior to the start of

the program, (2) during free time within the period of the program, and (3) after the program ending

date; I may elect to travel independently at my own expense. I agree to inform the program leader of

my travel plans and understand that I shall be solely responsible for any such travel during any free

time. I understand that the University strongly discourages students from renting or operating

vehicles while participating in education abroad programs. I understand that poor road conditions,

different traffic laws and regulations, and varying insurance requirements can make driving motor

vehicles in foreign countries extremely hazardous and is not recommended by the University. If I rent

or operate a vehicle, while participating in any education abroad program, I agree that such activity is

totally voluntarily on my part and against the University’s advice.

8. Consent To Medical Treatment. In the event I suffer any injury or illness while participating in any

education abroad program, I hereby authorize the representative of the University, at my expense, to

secure necessary treatment, including, but not limited to, the administration of an anesthetic and

surgery, and such medication as may be prescribed. It is further agreed that if my condition so

requires, I may be returned to the United States at my expense. I further assume any and all risks

associated with or arising from any such medical treatment and agree to waive any and all claims

which I might assert against the University, its Board members, representatives, or agents for such

medical treatment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this consent to medical treatment does not

constitute an obligation on the part of the University to secure any such treatment on my behalf.

9. Damage or Loss. I understand and agree that I may be charged for damage to or loss of University

property. I understand and agree that charges to common areas may be prorated to all program

participants. I hereby expressly authorize my home institution to charge me for any damage or loss

and remit payment to the University on my behalf.

10. Severability.

I agree that, should any provision or aspect of this Agreement be found to be

unenforceable, that all remaining provisions of the agreement will remain in full force and effect.

11. Governing Law. I agree that if there is any dispute concerning my participation in the program or the

interpretation of this Agreement, any such disagreement shall be determined in accordance with the

laws of the State of Arkansas.

12. Entire Agreement And Modification. The terms and conditions of this Waiver and Release of

Liability represent my complete understanding of the parties hereto with regard to my participation in

the program and supersedes any previous or contemporaneous understandings I may have had with the

University on this subject, whether written or oral, and cannot be changed or amended in any way

without the written concurrence of both the University and me.
