I have read all the Lotus materials: Homestay program information, registration form on the Lotus website. I understand and accept the conditions under which these programs will be conducted, particularly those which apply to the homestay and program cost.
I understand that the Lotus program fee includes administrative expenses and do hereby release Lotus, their agents, employees or representatives from all actions, suits, claims, or liability for damages arising out of my participation in the program. In addition, I understand that I am traveling to China and will be expected to adapt to a different culture and ways of doing things and I realize I should not expect things to be exactly as I imagine them to be in my country. I understand that I am participating in this program at my own risk, that I am sending myself there and that I will consult with the on-site Director upon any problems that may arise during my stay.

Also, I realize I am traveling independently, and am responsible for all my actions in China. I am responsible for finding out and obeying the laws of China along with the rules of homestay, travel warnings, natural disasters, traffic accident, political unrest, and adapting to cultural differences, and Lotus is not responsible for my actions (behavior) while participating in this program.

By participating in this program, I understand that I am taking my own risks with regard to traveling and being in China, and shall not hold Lotus, or its agents, employees or representatives liable for any damages or losses arising from my participation in the program.
