WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
I understand that during my participation in various activities which are conducted, arranged, or coordinated by Wichita Downtown Development Corp., and the City of Wichita (collectively “Sponsors”), I may be exposed to a variety of hazards and risks, foreseen or unforeseen. These risks include, but are not limited to, the dangers of serious personal injury, illness, property damage, and loss of life (“Injuries and Damages”). I know that Injuries and Damages can occur by natural causes or activities of other persons, either as a result of negligence or because of other reasons. By attending and/or participating in the activities, I hereby waive all claims
against, and release and forever discharge Sponsors and its officers, members, directors, employees, agents, representatives, independent contractors, and affiliated persons and entities (collectively the “Released Persons”) from any and all liabilities and claims of any kind (including without limitation personal injury, property damage or death), which I or my legal representatives have or may in the future have, whether known or unknown, arising out of my attendance at or participation in the Sponsors’ activities (collectively the “Released Claims”). This Waiver and Release is binding even if the risks and liabilities being waived and released arise out of the negligence or carelessness of one or more of the Released Persons. This Waiver and Release is binding on my legal representatives, heirs and assigns. By signing this Waiver and Release, I acknowledge the possibility that I may not fully know the number or magnitude of all the Released Claims, but nevertheless intend to assume the risk of my attending and/or participating in the activities. I understand and agree that photographs, videos, or other images may be taken of me by Sponsors or its designees, agents or representatives, and that such photographs, videos, images and likenesses may be used in connection with its advertising, promotional and marketing activities, all without compensation to me. I hereby assign all rights in any such photographs, videos or other images to Sponsors. I have read any rules and conditions applicable to the activities made available to me. I will pay any costs and fees for the activities, and I acknowledge my participation is at the discretion of the activity’s leader. I understand that, except as otherwise agreed to by Sponsors in writing, Sponsors does not carry or maintain health, medical, or disability insurance coverage for any participant. Each participant is expected and encouraged to obtain his or her own medical or health insurance coverage. This Waiver and Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by law. If any provision or any part of any provision of this Waiver and Release is held to be invalid or legally unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Waiver and Release shall not be affected thereby and shall remain valid and fully enforceable. I have read this document in its entirety and I freely and voluntarily assume all risks of such Injuries and Damages and notwithstanding such risks, I agree to participate in the activities.
