The Undersigned, {Name}, ("Releasor") states as follows:
In consideration of participating in gun club or hunting activities, and for other good
and valuable consideration, I hereby agree to release and discharge from liability
arising from negligence Skeen Gundogs and Outfitters and its owners, directors,
officers employees, agents, volunteers, participants, and all other persons or entities
acting for them (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Releasees”), on behalf of
myself and my children, parents, heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate,
and also agree as follows:
1. I acknowledge that gun club or hunting activities involve known and unanticipated
risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis or permanent
disability, death, and property damage. Risks include, but are not limited to, death or
serious injury as a result of being shot or as a result of equipment malfunction;
hearing loss; loss of vision; broken bones, bruises and other bodily injuries caused
by falls; medical conditions resulting from physical activity, and damaged clothing or
other property. I understand such risks simply cannot be eliminated, despite the use
of safety equipment, without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.
2. I expressly accept and assume all of the risks inherent in this activity or that
might have been caused by the negligence of the Releasees. My participation in
this activity is purely voluntary and I elect to participate despite the risks. In addition,
if at any time I believe that event conditions are unsafe or that I am unable to
participate due to physical or medical conditions, then I will immediately discontinue
participation.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold
harmless Releasees from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action which
are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, or my use of their
equipment or facilities, arising from negligence. This release does not apply to
claims arising from intentional conduct. Should Releasees or anyone acting on their
behalf be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I
agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
4. I represent that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may
suffer or cause while participating in this activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of
such injury or damage myself. I further represent that I have no medical or physical
condition which could interfere with my safety in this activity, or else I am willing to
assume – and bear the costs of – all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly,
by any such condition.
5. In the event that I file a lawsuit, I agree to do so solely in the state where
Releasees’ facility is located, and I further agree that the substantive law of that
state shall apply.
6. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable,
the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
By signing this document, I agree that if I am hurt or my property is damaged
during my participation in this activity, then I may be found by a court of law to have
waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against the parties being released on the
basis of any claim for negligence.
