Register for MTB Skills Clinics & Coaching
Waiver and Release Agreement
I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT, I AM RELEASING MARJORIE BOWEN OF FIT TO THE CORE, LLC (parent company of MTB SKILLS TRAINING) AND IT’S RESPECTIVE AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, MEMBERS, SPONSORS, PROMOTERS AND AFFILIATES (COLLECTIVELY “RELEASEES”) FROM LIABILITY. THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE IS A CONTRACT WITH LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING.
In consideration of the Releasees or Marjorie Bowen’s acceptance of my application for a cycling event, I hereby freely agree to and make the following contractual representations and agreements. I acknowledge that cycling is an inherently dangerous sport and fully realize the dangers of participating in a bicycle clinic, lesson, or tour and FULLY ASSUME THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH PARTICIPATION INCLUDING, by way of example, and not limitation, the following: the dangers of collision with pedestrians, vehicles, other riders, and fixed or moving objects; the dangers arising from surface hazards, including pot holes, equipment failure, inadequate safety equipment, THE RELEASEES’ OWN NEGLIGENCE, and weather conditions; and the possibility of serious physical and/ or mental trauma or injury, or death associated with cycling and athletic competition. For myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, assignees, and successors in interest (collectively “Successors”) I HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE, DISCHARGE, HOLD HARMLESS, AND PROMISE TO INDEMNIFY AND NOT TO SUE the Releasees and any sponsors, the organizer and any promoting organizations, property owners, law enforcement agencies, all public entities, special districts and properties, and their respective agents, officials, and employees through or by which the event will be held, (the foregoing are also collectively deemed to be Releasees), FROM ANY AND ALL RIGHTS AND CLAIMS INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE RELEASEES’ OWN NEGLIGENCE, which I have or which may hereafter accrue to me and from any and all damages which may be sustained by me directly or indirectly in connection with, or arising out of, my participation in or association with the training event, or travel to or return from the event.
I understand and agree that situations may arise during the event which may be beyond the control of the event officials or organizers, and I must continually ride so as to neither endanger myself nor others. I accept responsibility for the condition and adequacy of my riding equipment. I have no physical or medical condition which to my knowledge, would endanger myself or others if I participate in this event, or would interfere with my ability to participate in this event. I agree, for myself and my successors, that the above representations are contractually binding, and are not mere recitals, and that should I or my successors assert a claim in contravention of this agreement, the asserting party shall be liable for the expenses (including legal fees) incurred by the other party or parties in successfully defending. This agreement may not be modified orally, and a waiver of any provision shall not be construed as a modification of any other provision herein or as consent to any subsequent waiver or modification. I consent to the release by any third party to Releasees and their insurance carriers of my name and medical information that may relate solely to any injury or death I may suffer arising from the event. Every term and provision of this agreement is intended to be severable. If any one or more of them is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that shall not affect the other terms and provisions, which shall remain binding and enforceable.
At each session, or ride, pictures and/or video may be taken. Sometimes this may be done to help me see and adjust my positioning on the bike. I understand that this media may also be used for marketing and promotional purposes and that I may be in some of the pictures. By signing this document I authorize the use of any and all such media of which I may be a part.
