UWP 2024 Field Trip Waiver

In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in one or both of the Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership 2024 Field Trips on July 27 and August 8, I the undersigned (Participant), acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that:

1. I am participating voluntarily. The risk of injury from the activities involved in this program may be significant, including the potential for permanent paralysis and death.
2. I understand that the Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership board, staff and volunteer guides (collectively, “Releasees”), do not require me to participate in these activities. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the Releasees or others, and assume full responsibility for my participation.
3. I willingly agree to comply with terms and conditions for participation. If I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the nearest official immediately
4. I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, hereby release indemnify, and hold harmless Releasees and their officers, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsors, partners, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event, from any and all claims, demands, losses, and liability arising out of or related to any injury, disability or death I may suffer, or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
5. Any dispute between the Releasees and me will be governed by the substantive laws of the state of Colorado. Any action or proceeding arising hereunder shall be brought in the courts of Colorado.
6. I hereby acknowledge that I have been advised to consult a physician before engaging in such activities. In the event of an emergency, I authorize Releasees’ employees or agents to secure from any licensed hospital, physician or medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary for my immediate care. I agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services rendered.
7. I grant to Releasees and their employees or agents the right to take photographs of me and of any minor participants for which I am the parent or guardian. I authorize UWP, its assigns and transferees to use such photographs, with or without names, for any lawful purpose, including for example such purposes as publicity, illustration, advertising, and Web content, and to copyright, use and publish the same in print and/or electronically.
