CAUTION:  READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING. THIS IS A COMPLETE RELEASE AND LIABILITY WAIVER.

In consideration and exchange for transportation provided to me by Anderson University (here forth referred to as “Activity”), I have voluntarily signed this Waiver and Release and I agree to all of its terms and provisions.

 I understand that participating in the Activity includes some risk of physical, mental, or emotional injury to myself or others, up to and including serious injury, disability or death. There is also risk that my personal property may be damaged or destroyed.  Although the following is not a complete list of the risks or dangers involved in the Activity, I understand that some of the risks are, but not limited to: motor vehicle accidents, slips or falls, delays, or mechanical issues.

 I voluntarily assume all risks, whether anticipated or not, which may be involved or connected to the Activity. I do not have any physical or mental condition or disability which might make me unfit to participate in the Activity, or which might make the Activity unreasonably dangerous for me or for others. I understand that I have the right to choose whether to participate in the Activity, and my participation is not a requirement. I am choosing to participate in the Activity freely and voluntarily.

 I HEREBY DISCHARGE, WAIVE, AND RELEASE ANY CLAIM TO RECOVER FROM ANDERSON UNIVERSITY ANY DAMAGES, COSTS (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES), EXPENSES, OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY KIND WHICH I MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE FOR INJURIES, ILLNESSES, DISABILITIES, DEATH, OR PROPERTY LOSS THAT I MAY SUSTAIN AS A RESULT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACTIVITY. I AGREE THAT NEITHER I, NOR ANY PERSON OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTING ON MY BEHALF, WILL MAKE ANY CLAIM OR BRING ANY SUIT OR ACTION AGAINST ANDERSON UNIVERSITY FOR ANY INJURIES TO ME OR TO MY PROPERTY ARISING OUT OF THE ACTIVITY, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANDERSON UNIVERSITY, EXCEPTING ONLY HARM WHICH IS INTENTIONALLY INFLICTED ON ME OR CAUSED BY GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

 If I or any person acting on my behalf brings an action against Anderson University in connection with a claim which I have undertaken to waive and release with this Waiver and Release Form, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Anderson University from all damages, costs, and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and court costs, which Anderson University might incur in defending such an action.

 Any reference above to "Anderson University" includes Anderson University and also its Board of Trustees, directors, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents, and any Anderson University students while providing transportation.

 I authorize Anderson University and its employees and agents to arrange for or provide for reasonable and necessary medical care for me, at my sole expense, if I need medical care during the course of the Activity.

 I agree that that this Waiver and Release shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina, and I hereby consent to the jurisdiction of South Carolina.
