In consideration of participating in the sport of kayak, canoeing and paddle boarding, and for other good and valuable consideration, I hereby agree to release and discharge from liability arising from negligence CHAIN O LAKES KAYAK COMPANY LLC and its owners, directors, officers employees, agents, volunteers, participants, and all other persons or entities acting for them (hereinafter collectively
referred to as “Releasees”), on behalf of myself and my children, parents, heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate,
and also agree as follows:
- I acknowledge that the sport of kayak, canoeing and paddle boarding involves known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis or permanent disability, death, and property damage. Risks include, but are not limited to,
death as a result of drowning or brain damage caused by near drowning; broken bones, tom ligaments or strains as a
result of falls while launching or exiting the water, or while carrying a canoe; medical conditions resulting from
physical activity; and damaged clothing or other property. I understand such risks simply cannot be eliminated,
despite the use of safety equipment, without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. - I expressly accept and assume all of the risks inherent in this activity or that might have been caused by the
negligence of the Releasees. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary and I elect to participate despite the
risks. In addition, if at any time I believe that event conditions are unsafe or that I am unable to participate due to
physical or medical conditions, then I will immediately discontinue participation. - I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Releasees 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 their equipment or facilities, arising from negligence. This release does not apply to claims arising from
intentional conduct. Should Releasees or anyone acting on their 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 represent that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may suffer or cause while participating in
this activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further represent that I have no
medical or physical condition 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. - In the event that I file a lawsuit, I agree to do so solely in the state where Releasees’ facility is located, and I further
agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply. - 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.
By signing this document, I agree that if I am hurt or my property is damaged during my participation in this
activity, then I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against the parties
being released on the basis of any claim for negligence.
I have had sufficient time to read this entire document and, should I choose to do so, consult with legal counsel prior to
signing. Also, I understand that this activity might not be made available to me or that the cost to engage in this activity
would be significantly greater if I were to choose not to sign this release, and agree that the opportunity to participate at the
stated cost in return for the execution of this release is a reasonable bargain. I have read and understood this document
and I agree to be bound by its terms.
