RELEASE, WAIVER, AND INDEMNIFICATION
I, the dog handler, wish to participate in Long Beach Beer Lab's Anniversary/Oktoberfest Dog Race. I understand that the Activity will include dog races in an enclosed track and will create the risk of contact between dogs and possible dog fights, injuries to dogs and/or dog owners or others assisting with the Activity.
THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY RELEASES, WAIVES, DISCHARGES AND COVENANTS NOT TO SUE LONG BEACH BEER LAB, ITS EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (hereinafter referred to as "Releases") from all liability to the undersigned, the participant's personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin for any loss, damage, or claim therefore on account of injury, death, or damage to the person or property of the participant including, without limitation, the participant's dog or dogs, whether caused by any act or omission of the Releasees or otherwise while the participant is participating in the Activity or using any facilities in connection with the Activity.
THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS the Releasees from all liability, claims, demands, causes of action, charges, expenses, and attorney's fees arising out of, relating in any way to, or resulting from any act or omission of the participant while participating in the Activity and whether caused in whole or in part by an act or omission of the Releasees or otherwise.
I will ALLOW my PHOTOGRAPH, PICTURE or LIKENESS and/or VOICE to APPEAR in any official documentary, promotional (including any and all advertisements), social media, television, radio or film coverage of the race, WITHOUT COMPENSATION.
The participant is aware of the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows and hereby waives his or her rights for his or herself thereunder: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."
The participant acknowledges and agrees that Long Beach Beer Lab and it’s agents shall have complete discretion on whether or not any dog, including the undersigned's dog, may participate in the races and may disqualify any such dog in its sole discretion. The participant further acknowledges and hereby represents and warrants that participant's dog is fully up-to-date on all shots and is spayed or neutered.
BY FILLING OUT AND SUBMITTING THIS FORM, I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND AN INDEMNITY AGREEMENT AND A CONTRACT BETWEEN MYSELF AND LONG BEACH BEER LAB AND SIGN IT OF MY OWN FREE WILL
