In consideration for being permitted to enter the property or participate in any Spur’n Up Hope event, program, volunteer activity, visit, property entry, or related activity:
I RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Spur’n Up Hope Inc, AND Dusty Spur Farm and their owners, employees, contractors, agents, assigns, volunteers, and anyone associated with the event, program, volunteer activity, visit, property entry, or related Spur’n Up Hope activity, all for the purposes herein referred to as “RELEASEES”, from any and all liability, actions, claims or demands, either now or hereafter, to legal representatives, guardians, assigns, heirs, and next of kin, all for the purposes herein referred to as “RELEASORS”, for injury, death, or damage, resulting from entry onto the property or participation in any Spur’n Up Hope event, program, volunteer activity, visit, property entry, or related activity as a result of the negligence of RELEASEES.
I AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS RELEASEES from any loss, liability, damage, or cost that I may incur due to my entry onto the property or participation in any Spur’n Up Hope event, program, volunteer activity, visit, property entry, or related activity.
I ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RISK OF BODILY INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE due to any actions of RELEASEES resulting from entry onto the property or participation in any Spur’n Up Hope event, program, volunteer activity, visit, property entry, or related activity.
I EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ACTIVITIES INVOLVING HORSES and other related activities CAN BE DANGEROUS AND INVOLVE RISKS OF SERIOUS INJURY and/or death and/or property damage.
I further expressly agree that the foregoing release, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by law and that if any portion of this agreement thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that all other provisions shall remain in full legal force and effect.
I AGREE THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT between the parties related to the matters specified herein and supersedes any prior oral or written statements or agreements between the parties related to such matters.
