I understand that the sport of laser tag, haunted houses and associated activities, including but not limited to, running, jumping, walking, moving through dark and unlit spaces, collisions (hereafter “laser tag activities”), involve inherent and other risks of injury and death. I understand that Nightmare Combat is an intense horror themed attraction filled with live performers, intense audio and strobe lighting effects, snow effects, air, mist, fog, Co2, haze effects and more. All players must be 13 years of age to attend. Any player under 18 must have parent complete the bottom portion of this waiver. Any player under 16 must have a parent with them at all times on the property.
I voluntarily agree to expressly assume all risks of injury or death that may at any time result from any and all such haunted house activities organized or promoted by Francis Frights LLC dba Fear Columbus Haunted House and Nightmare Combat. I AGREE TO RELEASE Francis Frights LLC, and its owners, landlords, affiliates, insurers, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, successors-in-interest, and assigns (collectively “Providers”) from all liability for injury, death, and property loss and damage that results from the participant’s participation in haunted house activities organized by Francis Frights LLC, including all liability that results from the negligence or gross negligence of such Providers, or any other person or cause.
I understand that this is a special event and the experience may be very different than previous events hosted at Fear Columbus Haunted House.
I understand that due to the unique nature of this attraction it is impossible for Francis Frights to ensure our safety from colliding with other guests, staff members, props, walls or other set pieces while traveling through the event. I understand that at any point if my behavior inside the attraction is seen as a risk to the safety of others or myself, all member of my party will be removed immediately without a refund.
No Touching:
I understand that actors or staff members will not intentionally touch any guests. However given the dark and disorienting nature of this attraction they may indirectly or unintentionally touch or brush up against. I aknowledge and accept this risk.
I understand that participation carries with it certain inherent risks and dangers that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid accidents, injury or death. I hereby assert that my participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks including serious injury or death.
I further agree to defend and indemnify Providers for all loss and damage (including, without limitation the reimbursement of the fees and expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses) arising from claims or lawsuits for personal injury, death, property loss and damage or other losses or damages arising from or related to my participation in the haunted house activities organized by Francis Frights LLC. I understand losses include, without limitation reimbursement of Providers for the fees and expenses of Providers serving as witnesses, preparing for trial, or participating in any proceeding.
This agreement is binding upon the participant’s heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns. I acknowledge that the laws of the State of Ohio govern this agreement. I further agree that any action involving parties or issues relating to or arising out of this agreement must be instituted and prosecuted in the State of Ohio. If any provision of this agreement is held in whole or in part to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of that provision and of the entire agreement will be severable and remain in effect.
