I have reviewed my coverage and have determined that my health/medical insurance is adequate to cover injuries or illnesses, etc., that I may sustain while traveling abroad. I will be solely responsible for payment in full of all costs of medical care I may receive during the Program. I further agree that CHS GR has no responsibility whatsoever for any health/medical issues that may occur during the program, as well as any actions taken by the organizers to provide necessary emergency medical care to me, and I authorize CHS GR to contact with the person I indicate during any emergency situation.

I understand that CHS GR has the right to photograph, video/audio-record, and interview me during the Program, and to use, according to its judgement, whole or parts of my oral and written word; my performance, image, name, face, voice, and other characteristics (my overall presence during the Program), for the evaluation, improvement, and/or promotion of the Program and CHS GR in general.
