By completing this application, the undersigned, individually and on behalf of any organization represented thereby (referred to collectively as “Applicant”), agrees to indemnify, save, and hold harmless Los Hermanos Familia, organizers of the Cinco de Mayo Parade of Lubbock, Latino Lubbock Magazine, and any sponsor of said event, as well as any officer, director, employee, representative, or agent of Los Hermanos Familia or any sponsor of said event, from and against any and all suits, actions, losses, damages, causes of action, and claims of liability of any character, type, or description, including, but not limited to, expenses of litigation, court costs, attorney’s fees, and/or expert witness fees for any death or injury (real or alleged) to any person, organization, or property, arising out of or occasioned by, directly or indirectly, any act or omission of Applicant and/or its officers, directors, employees, representatives, participants, and agents related to or affecting Applicant’s participation in the Cinco de Mayo Parade of Lubbock and/or any other activity or matter contemplated by this application and this Indemnity Agreement. The undersigned warrants that he/she has full authority to bind the Applicant and understands that Los Hermanos Familia is relying on such representation as a prerequisite to the consideration of this application.

Further, I commit to following the Cinco de Mayo Parade requirements as follows:

• All parade entries must be fully and appropriately decorated or the entry will be subject to exclusion from the parade with no reimbursement or refund. All entries must conform to community standards of taste and decorum.

• To avoid the possibility of injury to participants and attendants, participants must be cautious when throwing candy or other items from any float or vehicle in the parade. Please do not toss items into the crowd. Rather, participants are encouraged to hand out candy by walking next to the barricade line. Nothing may be handed out in the path of your entry—only on the sides of your entry. Entries that refuse to cooperate may be banned from future events.

• Animals participating in the parade must be harnessed or leashed. Owners must provide insurance and proof of liability for animals with their application and must have proof available on the day of the event.

• Weather Policy: The Cinco de Mayo Parade is a rain-or-shine event. In the event of severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances that make it unsafe to proceed, the parade may be delayed, modified, or canceled at the discretion of the organizers. No refunds or reimbursements will be issued due to weather-related changes or cancellations.
