Facilities Use Agreement

It is the intent of the parties to this agreement that Poway Unified School District (District) will not pay any expenses, attorney’s fees or liability amounts as a result of the use of district property and facilities by applicant pursuant to this agreement.

Applicant shall furnish liability insurance providing insurance coverage for the District for all activities of applicant conducted on District Property pursuant to this agreement. The liability insurance shall provide coverage of no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000 per person in medical expenses coverage. PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF EVENT OR ACTIVITY THE DISTRICT MUST RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE AND AN ENDORSEMENT NAMING POWAY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AS AN ADDITIONAL INSURED. The insurance coverage afforded to District pursuant to this agreement shall be primary insurance coverage which must be exhausted before any liability, expense or fee payments are made by District pursuant to any Joint Powers Agreements, or by any other insurance coverage which District may have. District shall be provided with a certificate of insurance conforming that it has been named as additional insured at least two (2) weeks before applicant uses District property.

All activity conducted on District property by applicant shall be at the risk of applicant exclusively and Applicant shall indemnify and hold district, its officers, agents and employees harmless against any and all losses, damages, liability, claims, demands and causes of action arising out of or in any way connected with the use by applicant of District property, including premises liability. Applicant shall owe this indemnity obligation to District, its officers, agents and employees even if the loss, damage, liability, claim, demand or cause of action resulted from District’s alleged or actual negligent act or omission, regardless of whether such act or omission is active or passive. However, applicant shall not be obligated under this agreement to indemnify District with respect to willful misconduct of District, its officers, agents or employees.

The requirement for carrying insurance naming District as an additional insured and the requirement for applicant to indemnify District are independent and both shall be given effect.

Applicant further agrees to be personally responsible, on behalf of his/her organization, for any damages sustained to District property, furniture, or equipment because of the use of occupancy of District property pursuant to this permit.
Applicant and his/her organization agree to abide by and enforce all rules and policies of the District governing the use of school facilities and equipment.
