Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk Agreement.
In consideration for The Girls Adventure Club and for any and all claims of liability arising out of their negligence, fault, recklessness, or any other act or omission which causes the undersigned illness, injury, disease, death, and damages of any nature in any way connected with my participation in any activity participated in. I also expressly agree to release and discharge The Girls Adventure Club from any act of omission of negligence in rendering or failing to render any type of rescue or medical services. In signing this document, I fully recognize and understand that if I (or any minor of whose behalf I am signing this release) am hurt, die, or my property is damaged, I am giving up my right to make a claim or file a lawsuit against The Girls Adventure Club, even if they negligently or by some other act of omission cause the injury or damage.
I further agree, to hold harmless, defend, and indemnify, The Girls Adventure Club from all defense costs, including attorney’s fees incurred in connection with claims for bodily injury, wrongful death, or property damage, sustained by any minor under 18 years of age on whose behalf I am signing, or which I may have caused to spectators or other third parties, whether negligent or not, in the course or my participation in this activity. I further acknowledge that I, or the minor I am signing for, am in good health, I understand that physical exertion may be required, and I, or the minor I am signing for, have no known physical disabilities or health problems that will present any risk to my participation on/in the trip. If I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participating and bring such to the attention of the trip leader immediately. I permit the use of any photos or video of me, or the minor I am signing for, taken during the trip or event activities for publicity, advertising, or other commercial purpose. As a parent or legal guardian of a participant under 18 years of age, I have read and voluntarily agree that said minor may participate in this adventure trip, and I sign this release on their behalf and on the behalf of the minor’s parents and/or legal guardians. In addition, I give permission to treat said minor in cause of illness, injury, emergency, or accident. Should emergency medical services become necessary, for the undersigned participant or minor, the expenses are the sole responsibility of the participant and not that of The Girls Adventure Club. Personal medical insurance is strongly advised for all participants. The Girls Adventure club has made no effort to determine, and accepts no responsibility for, medical, physical or other qualifications or the suitability of participant, or other participants, for the activities. Client, and the parent or guardian of a minor participant, accepts full responsibility for determining participant’s medical, physical or other qualifications or suitability for participating in any adventure trip activities.
The Girls Adventure Club reserves the right to accept or deny service to any person. There will be no refunds for cancellations, even illness. However, if unforeseen circumstances arise and I need to cancel the trip, I will either reschedule for an agreed upon time later in the year or the following year, or refund you. Additionally, I will not provide any refunds 90 days prior to the departure of the trip, if you register within that time frame. Lastly, it is HIGHLY recommended to purchase travel insurance before the trip. This way if you need to cancel, or the trip is canceled, you will be reimbursed by your insurance company.
Participation in this group trip is voluntary. I understand that I may be released from the trip at any time, for any reason, and that such release will not obligate the trip organizers or other participants to provide any refund or compensation.
I understand that in the event of an emergency, I (or, if applicable, my child(ren)/ward) may require medical treatment. I hereby give my consent for any licensed medical or healthcare professional to provide necessary medical care, including but not limited to diagnosis, treatment, and hospitalization, if I (or, if applicable, my child(ren)/ward) am unable to consent for myself.
I hereby agree to follow all rules, regulations, and the instructions of The Girls Adventure Club. The venue of any dispute that may arise out of this agreement or otherwise between the parties to which The Girls Adventure Club or its agents is a party shall be in Scott County Court or Minnesota State Supreme Court.
I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.
