Activities and Risks
The training activities conducted by Bolton Adventure Center and Charest Alpinism LLC, and the structures and premises on which they are conducted, may expose me to certain risks, and not all risks can be eliminated despite taking reasonable precautions. The course may involve rock climbing, ropes courses, games and other activities that may be physically and emotionally demanding. These activities may also expose me to unpredictable forces of nature, including exposure to heat, cold, lightning and other elements.
I recognize that it is my responsibility as a participant to follow standards, guidelines and procedures established by the staff/instructor, and all other stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If I do not understand specific instructions at any time, I understand that it is my responsibility to ask staff members for clarification and/or assistance. Staff members of Bolton Adventure Center and Charest Alpinism LLC may at their sole discretion deny participation to me, and I may voluntarily choose not to participate in any activity at any time.
I further recognize that I should be alert to ensure that my conduct does not pose a risk to myself or to others, and that I should also monitor my co-participants' activity and report any concerns, should they arise. If I become aware of any conditions that may pose any undue risk to me or others, I will remove myself from participation and immediately bring such conditions to the attention of Bolton Adventure Center.
Photographs may be taken during the activities, to be used for promotional material, including video presentation and brochures. I grant Bolton Adventure Center and Charest Alpinism LLC and its agents the right to use, reproduce, assign, and distribute photographs, films, videotapes, and sound recordings of me for use in any such materials they may create.
