being permitted by the Company to participate in the Activities and in
recognition of the Company's reliance hereon, I agree to all the terms and
conditions set forth in this instrument (this "Release").
I
AM AWARE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE ACTIVITIES ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND
INVOLVE THE RISK OF PERSONAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY, PAIN, SUFFERING,
TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT DISABILITY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND/OR FINANCIAL
LOSS RELATED TO MY INVOLVEMENT WITH ANIMALS, SWIMMING, TENNIS, PICKLEBALL, BASKETBALL,
POLO, GOLF, BOCCE, HORSESHOE, DRIVING, OR OTHER ACTIVITIES AS I VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE
TO ENGAGE. I ACKNOWLEDGE THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
ACTIVITIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, UNPREDICTABLE ACTIONS OF ANIMALS OR
OTHER ACTIVITY PARTICIPANTS, MY INEXPERIENCE OR INATTENTIVENESS, ACCESSIBILITY
AND TIMELINESS OF EMERGENCY INTERVENTION, AND THE PAIRING OF ME WITH EQUIPMENT
OR ANIMALS INAPPROPRIATE FOR MY SKILL AND EXPERIENCE BASED UPON INFORMATION I
HAVE PROVIDED TO THE COMPANY ON WHICH IT EXPRESSLY RELIES. I FURTHER

AWARE OF ITS TERMS PRIOR TO ARRIVING AT THE LOCATION IN WHICH THE ACTIVITIES
WILL OCCUR. NOTWITHSTANDING THE RISK, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE KNOWINGLY
AND VOLUNTARILY CHOSEN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITIES (WITH FULL ADVANCE
KNOWLEDGE OF THIS RELEASE AND ITS TERMS) WITH AN EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING OF THE INHERENT
DANGERS INVOLVED AND HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS OF
INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM MY PARTICIPATION
IN THE ACTIVITIES, WHETHER CAUSED, OR CONTRIBUTED TO, BY THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS
OF THE COMPANY OR OTHERWISE.
I
hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims, now known or hereafter
known, against the Company, and its officers, directors, employees, agents,
affiliates, shareholders, successors, and assigns (collectively,
"Releasees"), on account of injury, disability, death, or property
damage arising out of or attributable to my participation in the Activities,
whether arising out of the acts or omissions of the Company or any Releasees or
otherwise. I promise not to
make or bring any such claim against the Company or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Company and
all other Releasees from liability under such claims.
I
will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and all other Releasees
against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims,
actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or
expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorney fees, fees, the costs
of enforcing any right to indemnification under this Release, and the cost of
pursuing any insurance providers, incurred by the Company or any other
Releasees, arising out of or resulting from any claim of a third party related
to my participation in the Activities, including any claim related to my own actions
or omissions or those of the Company.
If
any term, provision, or the scope of this Release, is invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable in the State of Connecticut, such invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Release
and the court may modify this Release to give effect to the original intent of
the Company and me as closely as possible so that these terms will be enforceable
as originally written to the greatest extent possible. This Release is binding
on and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and me and our respective
heirs, successors, and assigns. All matters arising out of or relating to this
Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws
of the State of Connecticut without giving effect to any choice or conflict of
law provision or rule (whether of the State of Connecticut or any other
jurisdiction). Any claim or cause of action arising under this Release may be
brought only in the federal and state courts located in the State of Connecticut
and I hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
Rain / Inclement Weather Cancellation Policy:
