ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
I
(which shall in all cases in this agreement include the person signing this waiver and the minors for whom the signatory is signing) am aware that participating in Adventure Activities, observing others participating in Adventure Activities or my presence on the property of the Releasees involves many inherent risks, dangers and hazards including, without limitation: exposed and falling rock, earth, ice, trees or other natural objects; wildlife; travel on back-country roads; negligence of other participants and other persons; hiking on rough and uneven terrain; changing weather conditions which may cause the trails and apparatus and zip lines to be slippery; equipment failure; failure to properly adjust or fasten equipment; improper use of equipment; falls; placing unusual mental and physical stresses on the body including without limitation, over-exertion; failure to remain within designated areas; impact or collision with trees, structures, other participants, guides or falling equipment or property of any kind; and NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES, INCLUDING THE FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES TO TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO SAFEGUARD OR PROTECT ME FROM THE RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS OF PARTICIPATING IN ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES REFERRED TO ABOVE. I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR LOSS RESULTING THEREFROM NOW OR AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE.
I am now, and any time that I enter the premises of the Releasees I will be, in good physical and mental health and do and will not suffer from any handicaps or physical conditions that could constitute a danger to myself or others as a result of my participation in Adventure Activities. I acknowledge that the level of participation is at all times completely up to me and I am the best and only judge of my degree of ability to participate in the Adventure Activities at any time. Strobe lighting, laser lighting and other visual effects may be used during your participation in Adventure Activities. Anyone that suffers from epilepsy or other visual light stimulation is advised to bring this to the attention of a Timber Top guide who will advise you if any accommodation can be made or, if not, to advise you not to participate in Adventure Activities.
RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
In consideration of the RELEASEES agreeing to my participation in or observation of the Adventure Activities and permitting my use of their services, equipment and facilities and entry onto the property of the Releasees, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, I hereby agree as follows:
- TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS that I have or may in the future have against the RELEASEES AND TO RELEASE THE RELEASEES from any and all liability for any loss, damage, expense or injury, including death, that I may suffer or that my next of kin may suffer, as a result of my participation in Adventure Activities, my observing others participating in Adventure Activities or my presence on the property of the Releasees, DUE TO ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY OR OTHER DUTY OF CARE ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES, AND FURTHER INCLUDING THE FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES TO TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO SAFEGUARD OR PROTECT ME FROM THE RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS OF PARTICIPATING IN THE ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES REFERRED TO ABOVE; and
- TO HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY THE RELEASEES from any and all liability for any property damage, loss or personal injury to any third party resulting from my participation in or observation of Adventure Activities or being present on the property of the Releasees now or at any time in the future.
I hereby grant permission to the Releasees to photograph and video me, and to make recordings of my voice, at any time while I am present on the property of the Releasees, which images and recordings shall be the property of the Releasees for all purposes without any compensation or royalties owing to me at any time. Without limiting the foregoing, I acknowledge that fixed cameras are or may be installed upon the premises which (i) display on the internet my participation in Adventure Activities and (ii) may be used by TimberTop for safety monitoring. I further grant to the Releasees the right to reproduce, use, exhibit, display, broadcast and distribute to any others in their full discretion, and create derivative works of, any of these images and recordings whenever created in any media now known or later developed for any purposes whatsoever. I hereby waive any right to inspect or approve the use of the images or recordings and further waive all moral rights thereto.
