Section 3: Waiver & Release of Liability
I understand and acknowledge the following:
Critter Conservancy LLC programs involve live animal ambassadors and hands-on educational activities. Participation involves inherent risks including but not limited to animal contact, outdoor environmental conditions, and physical activity.
Live animal ambassadors may carry zoonotic bacteria including Salmonella, which can be transmitted to humans through direct or indirect contact. I understand that strict handwashing protocols are required after any animal contact and that failure to follow these protocols may result in illness.
Critter Conservancy LLC staff will provide clear instructions for safe animal interaction. I agree to follow all instructions provided by Critter Conservancy staff at all times during the program.
I agree to supervise any minor participant in my care and ensure they follow all program guidelines and safety protocols.
I understand that children under 5 years of age may have limited or no direct animal contact at the discretion of Critter Conservancy staff.
In consideration of being permitted to participate in this Critter Conservancy LLC program, I, on behalf of myself and/or the minor participant named above, hereby agree to release, waive, discharge, and hold harmless Critter Conservancy LLC, its owner, employees, and representatives from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, injury, or illness that may be sustained during or as a result of participation in this program, including travel to and from the event.
SALMONELLA RISK: All reptiles, including Critter Conservancy's tortoise ambassador, may naturally carry Salmonella bacteria. Symptoms of Salmonella infection include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps beginning 6 hours to 6 days after exposure. If you or your child experience these symptoms after attending a program, please consult a physician and notify Critter Conservancy LLC at (717) 538-6352.
