I am aware that paddling is a hazardous activity and - in addition to the usual dangers and risks inherent in boating activities - has additional dangers and risks, which include: unpredictability of weather and ocean conditions; psychological and physical reaction to extreme natural forces and conditions; and collision with exposed or unexposed hazards including vessels. I am also aware that there are additional risks in traveling to and from locations where course and activities are held (all such usual and additional dangers and risks herein collectively called the “inherent risks”). I acknowledge that the enjoyment and excitement of paddling is derived in part from the inherent risks. In consideration of doing business with Tidal Journeys, including affiliated companies and all officers, employees, guides, instructors, agents and representatives, and in consideration of Tidal Journeys permitting me to participate in its courses and activities and to use or rent its equipment, including motor vehicles used for travel to and from any location at which such courses, activities and use of equipment may occur (the “Activities”), I hereby agree as follows:
1. I freely ACCEPT and fully ASSUME all the inherent risks, dangers, and hazards of paddling and the possibility of personal injury, death, permanent and disabling injury, property damage or loss resulting therefrom and I understand that I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN SAFETY and that Tidal Journeys assumes no responsibility for my safety in connection with the Activities.
2. I RELEASE ALL CLAIMS I may have against Tidal Journeys, AND AGREE NOT TO SUE Tidal Journeys for any personal injury, death, permanent and disabling injury, property damage or loss sustained by me as a result of my participation in the Activities due any cause whatsoever INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF TIDAL JOURNEYS.
3. I AM RESPONSIBLE for all costs of rescue or medical attention rendered to me, or for my benefit, arising from the Activities and I SHALL INDEMNIFY TIDAL JOURNEYS from any and all liability in respect of any and all of such cost.
4. I SHALL INDEMNIFY Tidal Journeys from any and all liability for any damage to property or personal injury to any third party, resulting from my participation in the Activities.
5. In entering into this Agreement I am not relying on any oral, written or visual representations or statements made by Tidal Journeys.
6. I confirm that I am of the full age of 18 years and that I have read and understood this Agreement prior to signing it and agree that this Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and successors.
7. I agree that this Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington.
