Participation, Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnification Agreement

THIS DOCUMENT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

READ ENTIRE DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING.

1.             ACTIVITY AND ASSOCIATED RISKS: I have voluntarily chosen to participate in guided outdoor climbing organized by the Source Climbing Center, LLC, a Washington limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as “SOURCE”), which may involve, without limitation, rock climbing (including but not limited to bouldering, toprope climbing, and lead climbing), belaying, rappelling, hiking, and other recreational activities, programs, events, instruction, and classes both inside and outside SOURCE’s facility in Vancouver, Washington (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Activity”).

I understand that:

  • the Activity is inherently hazardous, and I may be exposed to dangers and hazards, including but not limited to the following: falls to the ground or on other persons; being fallen on by other persons; being hit or crushed by falling rock; loose or damaged artificial or natural holds; failure of fixed bolts, pitons, or other climbing equipment; fractures; concussions; overexertion; injuries from my lack of fitness or conditioning; paralysis; death; negligence of others; dangerous weather; overheating; hypothermia; injuries or irritations caused by contact with plants; and hostile or aggressive wildlife;
  • as a consequence of these risks, I may be seriously hurt or disabled or may die from the resulting injuries, and my property may also be damaged;
  • hospital facilities, qualified medical care, and emergency medical evacuation may be limited or unavailable during portions of the Activity; and
  • SOURCE assumes no responsibility for providing medical care during the Activity, and I will have to pay for any medical care and/or evacuation that I may require.

In consideration of SOURCE’s permission to participate in the Activity, I agree to the terms contained in this document.

2.             ASSUMPTION OF THE RISKS:  I hereby freely assume the above-mentioned risks as well as any other risks not listed that are part of the Activity, and the risk of any harm, injury, or loss that may occur to me or my property as a result of my participation in the Activity, including any injury or loss caused by the negligence of SOURCE, its employees, agents, officers, managers, members, directors, contractors, and/or other Activity participants.  I also understand that I use at my own risk any equipment that I provide, or may borrow or rent from SOURCE or any other provider, and that any such equipment is provided without any warranty about its condition or suitability.  I acknowledge that SOURCE recommends I consult with an insurance representative before participating in the Activity, and I certify that I either have adequate insurance to cover any 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 have no medical or physical conditions which could interfere with my safety in this Activity, or else I am willing to assume, and bear the costs of, all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.

3.             RELEASE OF LIABILITY: I HEREBY RELEASE SOURCE together with (a) providers of equipment used in the Activity, (b) owners, operators, or managers of land used in the Activity, (c) entities issuing permits or approvals used in the Activity, and (d) the respective employees, agents, officers, managers, members, directors and/or contractors of all the foregoing entities and persons (the “Released Parties”) FROM ALL LIABILITIES, CAUSES OF ACTION, CLAIMS AND DEMANDS that arise in any way from any injury, death, loss, or harm that occurs to me or to any other person or to any property during the Activity or which is in any way related to the Activity.  This RELEASE includes claims for the negligence of the Released Parties and claims for strict liability for abnormally dangerous activities.  This RELEASE does not extend to claims for gross negligence, intentional or reckless misconduct, or any other liabilities that Applicable Law does not permit to be excluded by agreement.  I ALSO AGREE NOT TO SUE or make a claim against the Released Parties for death, injury, loss, or harm that occurs during or results from the Activity or is in any way related to the Activity.

4.             INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS, AND DEFENSE:  I PROMISE TO INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND DEFEND the Released Parties (defined in Section 3) against any and all claims to which Section 3 of this agreement applies, including claims for their own negligence.  I ALSO PROMISE TO INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND DEFEND the Released Parties against any and all claims for my own negligence, and any other claim arising from my conduct during the Activity.  In accordance with these promises, I will reimburse the Released Parties for any damages, reasonable settlements, and defense costs, including attorneys’ fees, which they incur because of any such claims made against them.  I agree that in the event of my death or disability, the terms of this agreement, including the indemnification obligation in this Section, will be binding on my estate, and my personal representative, executor, administrator, or guardian will be obligated to respect and enforce them.

5.             RULES AND TRAINING:  I agree to abide by the rules of SOURCE for the Activity.  I recognize that it is my responsibility to learn how to use correctly the gear, anchors, ropes, autobelay systems, and all other equipment used during the Activity.  I will demonstrate proper use of this equipment, and my ability to tie a “figure-of-eight knot,” to a SOURCE employee before participating in the Activity.  I agree that people who use equipment incorrectly are menaces to themselves and others.  I AGREE TO USE ALL OF THE PROTECTIVE GEAR that I am instructed to use.

6.             USE OF MY LIKENESS:  I understand that I may be photographed and/or audio and video recorded during the Activity.  To the fullest extent allowed by law, I assign all rights of property, publicity, privacy, or pre-approval that I have for any such likeness of me or use of my name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness in connection with such photograph or recording, and I grant to SOURCE and its assigns permission to copyright, use, and publish (including by electronic means) such likeness of me, whether in whole or part, in any form, without restrictions, and for any purpose.

7.             APPLICABLE LAW, SEVERABILITY:  I agree that the purpose of this agreement is that it shall be an enforceable RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY as broad and inclusive as is permitted by Washington law, and that Washington law shall be the Applicable Law as that term is used herein.  I agree that if any portion or provision of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder will continue in full force and effect.  I also agree that any invalid provision will be modified or partially enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law to carry out the purpose of the agreement.

8.             CHOICE OF LAW, FORUM, AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES:  This agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Washington, without any reference to its choice of law rules.  I agree that any dispute arising from this agreement or in any way associated with the Activity shall be brought only in the Superior Court of Clark County, Washington, or in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, and I agree to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts for any such dispute.  In any litigation in which the validity or enforceability of this agreement is contested, I agree that the non-prevailing party will pay all attorneys’ fees and costs of the parties seeking to uphold the agreement.

 

I HAVE FULLY INFORMED MYSELF OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT BY READING ALL OF IT BEFORE SIGNING IT.  NO ORAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME WHICH PURPORT TO MODIFY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.  NO PROMISES OR OTHER INDUCEMENT TO SIGN THIS RELEASE HAVE BEEN MADE APART FROM WHAT IS CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT.  I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A CONTRACT THAT AFECTS MY LEGAL RIGHTS AND I SIGN IT OF MY OWN FREE WILL AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF ITS TERMS.
