I hereby acknowledge that I have voluntarily chosen to participate in one of the Hostile Environment and Active Threat range of courses ("the Courses") conducted by PracMed NZ Training Solutions Ltd, trading as PracMed NZ.
I understand that the Courses involve multiple scenarios, which have been designed to provide the most realistic experience possible from a sensory perspective. Throughout the scenarios, I understand that I will be exposed to use of opposing force, which may include being shot at with paintballs and/or simulated ammunition, and have simulated physical confrontations. I understand that if at any time I feel unsafe, I have the ability to call for a stop scenario. I understand that all care is taken to ensure my safety, but due to the nature of the demanding tasks, these scenarios may expose me to certain risks and hazards, including physical injuries and mental distress.
In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Courses, I agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this waiver, which are intended to release PracMed NZ Training Solutions Ltd as the Person Conducting Business and Undertaking (PCBU)nand its officers, employees, agents, representatives, and assigns ("the Released Parties") from any and all liabilities arising from my participation in the Courses.

Release and Waiver of Liability: In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Courses, I hereby release and forever discharge PracMed NZ Training Solutions Ltd and the Released Parties from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action, whether in law or in equity, arising out of or related to any injury, loss, or damage, including physical and mental injury, that I may sustain during or as a result of my participation in the Courses.
Indemnification: I agree to indemnify and hold harmless PracMed NZ Training Solutions Ltd and the Released Parties from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action, including legal fees and expenses, arising out of or related to my participation in the Courses.
Medical Fitness: I hereby declare that I am physically and mentally fit to participate in the Courses. I have not been advised by any medical professional to refrain from participating in physical or high-stress activities.
Compliance with Instructions: I agree to comply with all instructions and guidelines provided by PracMed NZ Training Solutions Ltd and its instructors during the Courses. I understand that failure to comply with these instructions may result in my removal from the Courses without refund.
Governing Law: This waiver shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand.
