I expressly acknowledge that participation in activities may involve risks to the Participant (and to Participant’s parents or guardians, if Participant is a minor), and may result in various types of injury including, but not limited to: sickness, bodily injury, death, emotional injury, personal injury, property damage, and financial damage.
In consideration for the opportunity to participate in activities with FBCG, the Participant (or parent/guardian if Participant is a minor) acknowledges and accepts the risks of injury associated with participation in, and transportation to and from, the Activity. The Participant (or parent/guardian) accepts personal financial responsibility for any injury or other loss sustained during the Activity or during transportation to and from the Activity, as well as for any medical treatment rendered to the Participant that is authorized by FBCG, its agents, employees, volunteers, or any other representatives. Further, the Participant (or parent/guardian) releases and promises to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FBCG, its agents, employees, volunteers, or any other representatives for any injury arising directly or indirectly out of the Activity or transportation to and from the Activity, whether such injury arises out of the negligence of FBCG, its agents, employees, volunteers, or any other representatives, the Participant, or otherwise.
If a dispute over this agreement or any claim for damages arises, the Participant (or parent/guardian) agrees to resolve the matter through a mutually acceptable alternative dispute resolution.
If the Participant (or parent/guardian) and FBCG, its agents, employees, volunteers, or any other representatives cannot agree upon such a process, the dispute will be submitted to Christian mediation (through an organization such as Peacemaker Ministries). In the event a resolution cannot be reached, the dispute is to be submitted to a three-member arbitration panel for resolution pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
