ATTENDANCE WAIVER AND RELEASE
READ CAREFULLY – THIS CONTAINS A WAIVER AND RELEASE FROM LIABILITY
I am over the age of 18 and I have voluntarily registered to participate in the Event, which will include my attendance with my dog along with other participants and their dogs. I have carefully read the Guidelines for the Event and I agree to comply with them as they apply to my dog, my guest(s) (if any) and me.
In consideration for my being permitted to participate in the Event at Ottawa Stadium (the “Location”):
1. Assumption of Risk. I understand the nature of the Event and I and my dog are able to safely participate in the Event. I am familiar with the risk of serious injury and death which any participant in this event must assume, and I believe that I am physically, emotionally and mentally able to participate in this event, and that my dog is fit for this event, and I understand that all applicable rules for participation must be followed and that at all times the sole responsibility for personal safety remains with me, and I will immediately remove myself from participation, and notify the nearest official, if at any time I sense or observe any unusual hazard or unsafe condition or if I feel that I have experienced any deterioration in my physical, emotional or mental fitness for continued participation in the event. My dog is in good health and has current vaccinations. I am fully aware of the risks of unexpected injuries, damage or other loss that may result from my attendance at and participation in the Event, including without limitation, the risk of dog bites. I freely assume all such risks including the risk of any negligence by other participants, the Ottawa Titans Baseball Club Inc., any of the organizers or volunteers of the Event or any of the other Released Parties as defined below.
2. Liability Release and Promise Not to Sue. I hereby release from liability, waive any and all claims against, forever discharge and hold harmless the Ottawa Titans Baseball Inc., the owner(s) and lessor(s) of the Location, Winnipeg Humane Society, Showtime Productions Inc. and each of their respective affiliated companies or other organizations, volunteers associated with the Event, the organizers and sponsors of the Event and each of their respective officials, owners, partners, directors, officers, trustees, members, employees, representatives and agents, and the other participants in the Event (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and from any and all claims for injuries, disability, death, property damage, attorneys’ fees or other loss of any kind or nature that may be sustained in connection with my and/or my dog’s attendance at or participation in the Event or any activity surrounding the Event even if based on the negligence of any Released Party. I further agree not to sue any of the Released Parties for any such claim.
3. Indemnification. I understand that my dog will not be permitted to enter the Location until and unless I agree to abide by all Event Rules and Guidelines and accept full responsibility for my dog. I, therefore, shall be fully responsible for any and all injuries and/or property damage caused by my dog, my guest(s) (if any) or by me and I shall indemnify, defend and hold the Released Parties harmless for any such injuries and/or property damage.
4. Medical Treatment. In connection with any injury I or my dog may sustain or other medical condition I or my dog may experience during my participation in or attendance at the Event, I authorize any emergency first aid, medication, medical treatment or surgery deemed necessary by the attending medical/first aid personnel if I am not able to act on my own behalf. I further authorize the attending medical/first aid personnel to execute on my behalf any permission forms, consents or other appropriate documents relating to medical attention for me or my dog and to act on my behalf if I am not able or immediately available to do so.
5. Publicity Release. I authorize the Ottawa Titans and/or the other parties involved with the Event to produce, reproduce, broadcast and otherwise use photographs, films, videotapes, recordings, digital images and other depictions, likenesses or images of me and my dog, my name and/or my voice, in any media form, worldwide, in connection with my attendance at or participation in the Event without compensation, for an unlimited duration and I release each such party from any and all liability in connection with it doing so.
I, intending to be legally bound, have carefully read and voluntarily agree to this Waiver and Release and I understand its full legal effect.
