CONSENTS, WAIVER OF LIABILITY & INDEMNITY
On behalf of my minor children or legal wards whom I represent, I release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue Nature Rangers Wilderness Programs (hereby referred to as “Nature Rangers”), its directors, officers, employees, volunteers and agents from all liability to the undersigned or such participating children and all personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin of the undersigned or such participating children for any loss or damage, and any claim or demands on account of any property damage or any injury to, or an illness of the undersigned or such participating children (or any person who may contract COVID-19, directly or indirectly, from the undersigned or such participating children) whether caused by the negligence, active or passive, of Nature Rangers or otherwise while the undersigned or such participating children are in, upon, or about the premises or any facilities or equipment therein or participating in any program affiliated with Nature Rangers. The undersigned expressly and knowingly waives all rights under California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."
I agree to indemnify and save and hold harmless Nature Rangers, its directors, officers, employees, volunteers and agents, and each of them, from any loss, liability, damages or costs they may incur, whether caused by the negligence, active or passive, or otherwise while the undersigned or any participating child is in, upon, or about the premises or any facilities or equipment therein or participating in any program affiliated with Nature Rangers. The undersigned understands and agrees that Nature Rangers is not required to provide insurance to cover the undersigned or such participating children in the event they suffer illness, injury, property loss, theft or damage of any sort upon, or about the premises or any facilities or equipment therein or participating in any program affiliated with Nature Rangers.
I agree and acknowledge that use of Nature Rangers’ supplies and services, and participation in Nature Rangers programs, may involve inherent danger and risk, including, without limitation, the risk of physical illness or injury, or property damage. I assume full responsibility for, and risk of illness, bodily injury or property damage to the undersigned or such participating children due to negligence, active or passive, or otherwise while in, about or upon the premises of Nature Rangers and/or while using the premises or any facilities or equipment thereon or participating in any program affiliated with Nature Rangers.
I acknowledge that any illness or injuries that the undersigned or such participating children contract or sustain may be compounded by negligent first aid or emergency response of the Release and waive any claim in respect thereof.
I agree that the foregoing assumption of risk, release and of liability, and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State of California and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
I have carefully read and voluntarily agree to this assumption of risk, release and waiver of liability, and indemnity agreement and agree that no oral representations, statements or inducement apart from foregoing written agreement have been made. I am aware that by agreeing to this agreement I am giving up valuable legal rights, including the right to recover damages from Nature Rangers in case of illness, injury, or property loss or damage, including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, exposure to Covid-19 at any Nature Rangers program and any illness, or injury resulting therefrom. I understand that this is a promise not to sue and a release of, and indemnification for, all claims on behalf of my minor child(ren) and/or legal wards and I represent and warrant to Nature Rangers that I have full authority to sign agreement on behalf of such minor(s).
I authorize Nature Rangers to use images of my child participating in the program in promotional materials such as on the Nature Rangers website or fliers.
I authorize Nature Rangers' staff members to administer First Aid medicines including iodine, triple antibiotic ointment, electrolytes, sunscreen, aloe gel, antiseptics, and after bite sting and itch wipes/creams on or to my child. I waive all claims against Nature Rangers for such treatment.
If an injury appears life threatening, I authorize Nature Rangers to call 911 emergency services.
