The individual listed (referred to as “I” or “me”) desires to participate in an event provided by the National Wild Turkey Federation, a nonprofit corporation located at 770 Augusta Road, Edgefield, SC 29824, (the “NWTF”). In consideration of the NWTF permitting me to participate in this activity and the intangible value that I will gain by that participation, I agree to all the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.
I AM AWARE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE ACTIVITIES I AM PARTICIPATING IN CONTAIN CERTAIN INHERENT RISKS AND INVOLVE THE POSSIBILITY OF SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY INJURIES THAT I SUSTAIN MAY BE COMPOUNDED BY NEGLIGENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITIES WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGER INVOLVED AND HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS OF INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE NWTF OR OTHERWISE.
I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims, now known or hereafter known, against the NWTF and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, members, volunteers, successors and assigns on account of injury, death or property damage arising out of or attributable to my participation in the activities, whether arising out of the negligence of the NWTF or otherwise. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the NWTF and forever release and discharge the NWTF from liability under such claims.
I shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the NWTF against all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs or expenses of whatever kind, including attorney fees, fees and the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification under this agreement. This includes the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, incurred by/awarded against indemnified party in a final non-appealable judgment, arising or resulting from any claim of a third party related to the activities.
This agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the NWTF and me with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. If any term or provision of this agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this agreement, invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. This agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the NWTF and me and their respective successors and assigns.
I hereby agree that this release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted and that this release shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina and Tennessee, without reference to any choice of law doctrine.
I understand and agree that during the activities, I may be photographed and/or videotaped by the NWTF for internal and/or promotional use. I hereby grant and convey to the NWTF all right, title and interest, including, but not limited to, any royalties, proceeds or other benefits, in any and all such photographs or recordings, and consent to the NWTF’s use of my name, image, likeness and voice in perpetuity, in any medium or format, for any publicity without further compensation or permission.
