I understand this waiver applies to any and all group related activities, meetups, outings, trips, and events organized, hosted, suggested, promoted, or attended through the Group, whether held indoors or outdoors, whether free or paid, and whether led by a volunteer host or another participant.
Examples may include, hiking, walking, park meetups, picnics, bonfires, camping, paddling, kayaking, tubing, swimming, fitness or wellness meetups, coffee meetups, dinners, social gatherings, day trips, and any related travel, carpooling, and transportation.
I am choosing to participate voluntarily. I am responsible for deciding whether any activity is safe and appropriate for me. I will bring and use appropriate gear, clothing, hydration, lighting, and safety equipment as needed. I will follow event guidance, posted rules, landowner rules, and applicable laws. I will not participate if I am under the influence in a way that makes participation unsafe.
I understand that in person meetups and outdoor activities involve risks that can include property damage, serious injury, illness, permanent disability, and death.
Risks may include, slips and falls, uneven terrain, weather and temperature exposure, dehydration, heat illness, sunburn, wind, lightning, flooding, drowning, traffic, vehicle accidents, burns from fire or hot surfaces, smoke inhalation, cooking related injuries, equipment failure, poor visibility, insects, snakes, wildlife, plants that irritate skin, allergic reactions, illness from food or water, contact with strangers, and delays in receiving medical care in remote areas.
I knowingly and freely assume all risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the Released Parties, as defined below, to the fullest extent allowed by law.
IN CONSIDERATION FOR BEING PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE, I RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION FOR INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO MY PARTICIPATION, INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
"Released Parties" means the Group, its organizers, administrators, moderators, volunteer hosts, volunteer event leaders, members acting in a volunteer capacity, and any affiliated entity, and each of their respective owners, directors, officers, managers, employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives, plus any venue owners or landowners allowing access for an event, to the fullest extent permitted.
I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claim, demand, lawsuit, cost, or expense, including attorney fees, arising out of or related to my participation, my actions, or my failure to follow rules, directions, or safety guidance, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
If I need medical care, I authorize the Released Parties to seek emergency medical assistance for me if they choose, and I authorize medical providers to treat me. I understand I am responsible for all costs of medical care and transportation.
I am responsible for my own property. The Released Parties are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal items.
This agreement is governed by the law of the state where the event occurs, unless a different governing law is required. Any lawsuit relating to this agreement must be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in the county where the primary organizer is located, unless prohibited by law.
If any part of this agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining parts remain in effect. This document is the entire agreement regarding liability release for participation and replaces any prior discussions or understandings.
I confirm that I have read this entire document, I understand it, and I sign it voluntarily. I understand I am giving up legal rights, including the right to sue.
