("Activity") I, for myself, my personal representatives, assigns,
heirs, and next of kin:
1.
ACKNOWLEDGE, agree, and represent that I
understand the nature of Bicycling Activities and that I am qualified, in good
health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such Activity. I
further acknowledge that the Activity will be conducted over public roads and
facilities open to the public during the Activity and upon which the hazards of
travelling are to be expected. I further agree and warrant that if, at any
time, I believe conditions to be unsafe, I will immediately discontinue further
participation in the Activity.
2.
FULLY UNDERSTAND that (a) BICYCLING ACTIVITIES
INVOLVE RISKS AND DANGERS OF SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING PERMANENT
DISABILITY, PARALYSIS AND DEATH ("Risks"); (b) these Risks and
dangers may be caused by my own actions, or inactions, the actions or inactions
of others participating in the Activity, the condition in which the Activity
takes place, or THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE "RELEASEES" NAMED BELOW; (c)
there may be OTHER RISKS AND SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LOSSES either not known to me
or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH
RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES, COSTS AND DAMAGES I incur as a result
of my participation or that of the minor in the Activity.
3.
HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO
SUE the CHApel, their respective administrators, directors, agents, officers,
members, volunteers, and employees, other participants, any sponsors,
advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises on which the
Activity takes place, (each considered one of the "RELEASEES" herein)
FROM ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES ON MY ACCOUNT CAUSED OR
ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE
"RELEASEES" OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING NEGLIGENT RESCUE OPERATIONS; AND
I FURTHER AGREE that if, despite this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY,
ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a
claim against any of the Releasees, I WILL INDEMNIFY, SAVE, AND HOLD HARMLESS
EACH OF THE RELEASEES from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss,
liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as the result of such claim.
Even if eaten by a bear.
I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS,
UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND HAVE
SIGNED IT FREELY AND WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT OR ASSURANCE OF ANY NATURE AND
INTEND IT TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY TO THE
GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW AND AGREE THAT IF ANY PORTION OF THIS AGREEMENT
IS HELD TO BE INVALID, THE BALANCE, NOTWITHSTANDING, SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL
FORCE AND EFFECT.
