I acknowledge that my participation in outdoor adventure-based activities including, but not limited to, high and low challenge course initiatives, water sports, fishing, hiking, and camping entails known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, and/or damage to myself, to property, and/or to third parties. I understand that while JAMA Global strives to make each event as safe as possible, many of these activities will have their own inherent dangers and risks of injury or even death that cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity, even when well-planned and supervised.
Furthermore, JAMA Global seeks safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant’s fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather, the elements, or the terrain. They may give inadequate warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.
In agreeing to engage in activities such as those outlined above or other JAMA Global activities, I understand it is my responsibility to know my own physical limitations, learn and apply safe techniques, and learn and apply the proper use and limitations of each piece of equipment, if any.
-
I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.
-
I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless JAMA Global from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of JAMA Global equipment or facilities, including any such Claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of JAMA Global.
-
Should JAMA Global or anyone acting on its behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
-
I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any and all injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I knowingly and/or unknowingly may have.
-
In the event that I file a lawsuit against JAMA Global, I agree to do so solely in the state of Texas, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
-
To the extend that the scope of this Participant Agreement, Release, and Assumption of Risk is unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such scope will, as to such jurisdiction only, be automatically limited to the extent necessary to make this Participant Agreement, Release, and Assumption of Risk enforceable in such jurisdiction without invalidating any other portion of this Participant Agreement, Release, And Assumption of Risk of Liability.
By signing this document, I acknowledge that I have carefully read this agreement and fully understand its contents. I am aware that this is a release of liability on the part of JAMA Global, an assumption of liability, and a contract between myself and JAMA Global, and sign it of my own free will.
Further, if anyone is injured or property is damaged during my participation with JAMA Global, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against JAMA Global on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein.
