following statement:
Individual Registration Form Liability Agreement (Rev
3/10/08)
I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY CLICKING "YES, I AGREE"
BELOW, I AM ASSUMING RISKS, AND AGREEING TO INDEMNIFY, NOT
TO SUE AND RELEASE FROM LIABILITY THE ORGANIZERS OF THESE
EVENTS AND THAT I AM GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS.
THIS ENTRY BLANK AND RELEASE IS A CONTRACT WITH LEGAL AND
BINDING CONSEQUENCES AND IT APPLIES TO ALL EVENTS AND
ACTIVITIES ENTERED AT THE EVENT, REGARDLESS WHETHER OR NOT
LISTED ABOVE. I HAVE READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING, AND I
UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS AND WHAT I AM AGREEING TO BY
SIGNING.
In consideration of the issuance of a license to me by one
or more Releasees or the acceptance of my application for
entry in the above 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 THESE
EVENTS, whether as a rider, mechanic, volunteer, or
otherwise, and FULLY ASSUME THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH
PARTICIPATION INCLUDING, by way of example, and not
limitation: 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, use of
equipment or materials provided by the event organizer and
others, THE RELEASEES' OWN NEGLIGENCE, the negligence of
others and weather conditions; and the possibility of
serious physical and/or mental trauma or injury, or death
associated with the event. 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 all
sponsors, organizers and promoting organizations, property
owners, law enforcement agencies, public entities, special
districts and properties that are in any manner connected
with this event, 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 events, or travel to or return from the
events. I agree it is my sole responsibility to be familiar
with my commute, route and schedule. I understand and agree
that situations may arise during the events which may be
beyond the control of the Releasees, and I must continually
ride and otherwise participate so as to neither endanger
myself nor others. I accept responsibility for the condition
and adequacy of my equipment, and equipment provided for my
use, and my conduct in connection with these events
occurring during Bay State Bike Week. I will wear a helmet
that can protect against serious head injury, and assume all
responsibility and liability for the selection of such a
helmet. I have no physical or medical condition which would
endanger myself or others if I participate in this event, or
would interfere with my ability to safety 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 contrary to what I have agreed to in this contract,
the claiming party shall be liable for the expenses
(including legal fees) incurred by the Releasees in
defending the claims. This contract may not be modified
orally, and a waiver or modification of any provision shall
not be construed as a waiver or modification of any other
provision herein or as a 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 contract 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.
