PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT, RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Part 1: Liability Release. You are responsible for your own well-being and safety on this walk.
In consideration of the services of [ALICIA FRIZZLE LLC., NATURA HEIR], their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf, I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge [ALICIA FRIZZLE LLC., NATURA HEIR], on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:
I acknowledge that outdoor activities in natural areas entail known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. The risks include, among other things: Slipping and falling; falling objects; water hazards; exhaustion; exposure to temperature and weather extremes which could cause hypothermia, hyperthermia (heat-related illnesses), heat exhaustion, sunburn, dehydration; and exposure to potentially dangerous wild animals, insect bites, and hazardous plant life; accidents or illness can occur in remote places without medical facilities and emergency treatment or other services rendered; consumption of food or drink; equipment failure; improper lifting or carrying; my own physical condition, and the physical exertion associated with this activity. Furthermore, [ALICIA FRIZZLE LLC., NATURA HEIR] employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant's fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather or other environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, incorrect information, and the equipment being used might malfunction.
I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.
I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless [ALICIA FRIZZLE LLC., NATURA HEIR] from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of [ALICIA FRIZZLE LLC., NATURA HEIR] equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of [ALICIA FRIZZLE LLC., NATURA HEIR].
Should [ALICIA FRIZZLE LLC., NATURA HEIR] or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
If I have a medical condition or health concern that the guides should be aware of, I will verbally inform them at the beginning of the walk.
I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have.
In the event that I file a lawsuit against [ALICIA FRIZZLE LLC., NATURA HEIR], I agree to do so solely in the State of Illinois, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
Part 2: Model Release:
With your permission, [ALICIA FRIZZLE LLC., NATURA HEIR] may take videos and photographs of you and your group on this walk. We want your permission to use these photographs in promotional materials, including social media, websites, printed flyers and books, and videos. We are sometimes asked by news reporting agencies and publications to provide photos for articles they are writing about nature connection topics. We do this at no charge. We promise to carefully select photographs that show you in a way that we are confident you will like. If you are not comfortable with having photos that include you taken and possibly used in these ways, we prefer that you mark "No" in the box below; we want you to have a relaxed and stress-free experience on your walk.
By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against [ALICIA FRIZZLE LLC., NATURA HEIR] on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.
