Terms
1. Voluntary participation. I am choosing to take part in the activity listed in this form, which is held at facilities owned by Hood River Alliance Church ("HRAC"). I understand that HRAC is not the organizer of this activity, is providing the space only, and is not sponsoring or supervising the activity.
2. Understanding the risks. Physical activity involves risks, including falls, collisions, strains, sprains, broken bones, and, in rare cases, serious injury or death. These risks can come from my own actions, the actions of others, equipment, or the condition of the facility. I have considered my health and physical condition, and I am able to take part safely.
3. Assumption of risk. I knowingly and voluntarily accept all of these risks, known and unknown, for myself (or for my child, if I am signing as a parent or guardian).
4. Release and waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release Hood River Alliance Church and its pastors, staff, Governing Team members, officers, volunteers, and agents (the "Released Parties") from any claim for injury, illness, death, or loss of property arising from participation in this activity, including claims based on the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties. This release does not apply to gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
5. Indemnification. I agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claim brought by me or on my behalf (or on behalf of my child) arising from participation in this activity.
6. Rules and conduct. I will follow the rules of the organizer and HRAC's Facility Use Standards. The organizer or HRAC may remove any participant whose conduct is unsafe or inappropriate.
7. Medical treatment. In an emergency, I authorize the organizer or HRAC to seek medical care for the participant. I am responsible for the cost of any treatment. HRAC does not provide medical or accident insurance for participants.
8. Term. This agreement remains in effect for 12 months from the date signed.
9. General. This agreement is governed by Oregon law. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. I have read this agreement, understand it, and sign it freely.
Parent or legal guardian. If the participant is under 18, I am the parent or legal guardian of the participant named in this form. I have read this agreement and agree to its terms on behalf of my child and myself.
