Participant Release & Waiver

Last Updated: November 28, 2018

​

In order to participate in an Adventure, your Guide(s) require(s) you to accept this Participant Release and Waiver, which is effective between you and your Guide(s) as of the date when you first book or participate in an Adventure, whichever happens first. All terms not defined here have the meaning given to them in the Adventure IO Terms of Service found at www.adventureapp.io/terms-and-conditions.  

You represent that you are 18 years of age or older. If you are bringing a minor as a Participant, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor throughout the duration of your Adventure, and have read this Participant Release and Waiver and agree to it on the minor’s behalf. If you are booking an Adventure on behalf of other Participants, you will ensure, and you represent and warrant, that each Participant on whose behalf you book has read and agreed to this Participant Release and Waiver, which shall apply to each of them as if the reference to “you” was a reference to him/her.

 

Assumption of Risks

You understand and acknowledge that the Adventure(s) you sign up to do may be hazardous and may carry the risk of injury or illness, including sickness, physical injury, property damage, disability, permanent paralysis, and death. You understand and acknowledge that You may be exposed to dangers and hazards, including some of the following (depending on the Adventure): falls, fractures, concussions, dangerous weather, overexertion, overheating, injuries from my lack of fitness or conditioning, hypothermia, hostile or aggressive wildlife, death, equipment failures, traffic, collisions with obstacles, hazards, failure to wear a helmet and/or other protective equipment, and negligence of others. As a consequence of these risks, You understand and acknowledge that You may be seriously hurt or disabled or may die from the resulting injuries, and Your property may also be damaged. Additionally, You understand and acknowledge that hospital facilities, qualified medical care, and emergency medical evacuation may be limited or unavailable during portions of the Adventure. 

​

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL RISKS, BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, OF PARTICIPATING IN EACH ADVENTURE, INCLUDING EACH ADVENTURE IN YOUR IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE, EVEN IF THOSE RISKS ARISE FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OR CARELESSNESS OF THE GUIDE OR OTHERS, OR DEFECTS IN THE EQUIPMENT, PREMISES, OR FACILITIES USED DURING THE ADVENTURE OR OTHERWISE, AND YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE ADVENTURE.

 

Release and Waiver

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • You have reasonably assessed the risks involved in the Adventure(s) and have made an informed and voluntary choice to participate.

  • You alone, and not your Guide(s), are responsible for determining your fitness for participating in the Adventure(s) and your ability to fully understand any directions or warnings presented.

  • You will not participate in any Adventure(s) when you have a physical, medical, or mental limitation or disability, or when you are aware or should reasonably be aware of any factors that may limit or prevent you from safely participating in that Adventure(s).

  • You will act reasonably and responsibly and will comply with any provided and customary conditions, directions, and/or precautions for participation in the Adventure(s). If you notice any hazard during an Adventure, you will stop participating in the Adventure immediately.

 

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU RELEASE AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE YOUR GUIDE(S) FOR ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, LOSSES (WHETHER ECONOMIC OR NON-ECONOMIC), DAMAGES, EXPENSES, COSTS OR LIABILITY OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ADVENTURE(S), WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

 

If you reside in California, you expressly waive the protection of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”), which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS/HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM/HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS/HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. You understand and agree that claims or facts in addition to or different from those which are now known or believed by you to exist may hereafter be discovered. You intend this Participant Release and Waiver to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. You agree that if any portion of this Waiver and Release is held to be invalid, the balance notwithstanding shall continue in full force and effect.

Disclaimer of Warranties

 

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUIDE(S) PROVIDES THE ADVENTURE(S) “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUIDE(S) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF SAFETY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND AS TO THE ADEQUACY OF THE DIRECTIONS AND WARNINGS PROVIDED TO YOU.

 

Indemnification

To the fullest extent allowed by law, You agree that if, despite this Participant Release and Waiver, you or anyone on your behalf make a claim against the Guide(s) relating to an Adventure, you will indemnify, defend and hold the Guide(s) harmless from any liability, demand, loss, damage, or costs which the Guide(s) may incur as the result of such claim.

You affirm that you HAVE READ THIS PARTICIPANT RELEASE AND WAIVER AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE, WAIVER, AND CONSENT CONTAINED IN IT. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN UP RIGHTS BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, AND HAVE DONE SO FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY AND WITHOUT INDUCEMENT.
