Idaho Trails Association
LIABILITY RELEASE For participants in any ITA program or event
To be read and agreed to by participants, guardians if person is under 18
I AM RELEASING IDAHO TRAILS ASSOCIATION FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN THE EVENT OF INJURY, DAMAGE OR DEATH WHILE PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROJECT OR EVENT SPONSORED BY IDAHO TRAILS ASSOCIATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT I COULD HAVE THIS RELEASE REVIEWED BY A LAWYER OF MY CHOICE.
Understanding the foregoing paragraph, I wish for participation in this project sponsored by Idaho Trails Association (ITA). I am aware that events and projects sponsored by ITA may involve hiking, backpacking, camping, trail games, and other activities (including but not limited to running, jumping, light contact sports); construction and maintenance of trails and recreation facilities, and that participating in or observing these events or projects poses certain dangers, including, but not limited to, the hazards of traveling in and hiking in wilderness and steep mountainous terrain; using hand tools, (and of hiking and working in the proximity of such tools when used by others); injury or illness in remote places without immediate medical aid; lifting and working on often narrow and precipitous trails; and unforeseen events caused by the forces of nature. In consideration for participation in projects sponsored by ITA, I, for my family, my estate, and myself, hereby waive any right of recovery and claims of liability against ITA, its officers, employees and agents from any claims made by others for personal injury or property damage allegedly caused by me. Further, I will hold ITA harmless in any loss or damages resulting from the forgoing waiver and release. This Release and Indemnity Agreement is a contract, not a mere recital and thus it shall remain in effect for all projects sponsored by ITA in which we participate. I also give permission to be photographed/filmed and have the image used by ITA and their partner agencies, without royalty or compensation.
As Participant/Guardian, I am agreeing on behalf of a minor, I further agree to HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY Idaho Trails Association and its members from all liability, claims and causes of action which the minor may have arising from the minor’s participation in activities. The terms of this agreement shall serve as a release and indemnity agreement for my heirs, personal representative, and for all members of my family, including any minors.
I HAVE READ AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE ITA LIABILITY RELEASE AND AGREE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE CHANGES OR SUGGEST CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT, BUT I MADE NO ATTEMPT TO ALTER OR CHANGE THE WORDING.
