This Agreement must be completed in order to participate in the activities associated with this program.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I, the undersigned, am the Participant named above. I am familiar with the curriculum and the activities which take place in the above-named Program offered through the University of Utah (the "Program").  My participation in the Program may expose me to certain foreseeable risks of injury such as, but not limited to illness, injury, or death. 

Physical activities include, but are not limited to, walking, running, hiking, repetitive lifting, and carrying. At times students will be in close physical proximity to one another or instructors. Certain activities will require travel by foot and other means, over unimproved roads, hiking trails and rugged off-trail terrain including downed timber, river crossings, snow, ice, steep slopes, slippery rocks, and other features. The risk of these activities includes falling, drowning, becoming lost, and others usually associated with such activities, including environmental risks. 

Environmental risks and hazards include, but are not limited to, flowing, deep and cold water; harmful insects, snakes, and animals; falling and rolling rock; lightning, falling timber, and unpredictable forces of nature, including all types of weather which may change to extreme conditions without notice. Possible injuries and illnesses include wounds, bruises, or infections; sunburn, bites or stings and insect or animal-borne diseases or infections; hypothermia, frostbite, heatstroke, flu-like or respiratory illness, and other debilitating or life-threatening conditions including COVID-19 and other diseases caused by coronaviruses.

Knowing of these risks, I freely and voluntarily participate in the Program and hereby agree to assume and accept any and all risks of injury or death.

CONSENT TO TREATMENT

I agree that if any injury or emergency should occur with me during the Program, the University agents or employees accompanying me on the Program are authorized to take whatever steps are reasonably necessary in their judgment to attend to my medical needs, including necessary medica treatment, rescue services the administration of medical treatment, or medication including my transportation to obtain such medical treatment on my behalf.  Transportation can include, but is not limited to, helicopter evacuation.  I agree to be responsible for any hospital expenses, doctor bills, rescue fees, or other expenses that may be incurred to attend to my medical needs.

I acknowledge that if the course is taught in an online format and at a location chosen by me, I am responsible for any injury or emergency that may occur.

WAIVER, RELEASE, AND INDEMNIFICATION

I understand and acknowledge that the University of Utah ("University") is not an insurer of my behavior, actions or participation in the Program, and that the University assumes no liability whatsoever for personal injuries or property damages to me or to third persons arising out of my participation in the Program activities. I hereby agree to release, waive, covenant not to sue, indemnify and hold harmless the University, and all of their officers, employees, and agents (collectively the "Releasees") from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may be sustained by me or loss or damage to any property belonging to me arising out of or related to participation in the above named Program, and excepting only such loss, damage or injury as may be caused by the sole negligence of any Releasee.

I have been advised to obtain medical advice regarding my medical fitness for participation and I have determined I do not have any health problems, including but not limited to heart or respiratory conditions that would prevent my safe participation in the Program.

I have been advised to maintain adequate health and accident insurance to cover the costs of my treatment in the event of any injury.

I agree that the site of any lawsuit arising out of or related to participation in the Program shall be Utah and that this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Utah, without application of any principles of choice of law.

I shall pay any attorney fees or costs incurred by the University in enforcing this Agreement.

If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid by a court of law, then it is agreed and intended that all the remainder shall, notwithstanding, continue in full force and effect.

PARTICIPANT HAS CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS AND FULLY UNDERSTANDS THEIR CONTENT AND IS AWARE THAT THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE PARTICIPANT AND THE RELEASEES AND SIGNS IT OF HIS OR HER OWN FREE WILL.
