CLIMBING IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS ACTIVITY AND INVOLVES BOTH INHERENT AND EXTRINSIC, AND BOTH NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL RISKS. These are not all of the risks associated with our participation in the activities, and the above list in no way limits the scope of this Agreement. We also realize that climbing indoors is not the same as climbing outside, and that climbing outside requires additional training. I Agree Although AZR has implemented extensive precautions in an attempt to minimize the chances of our visitors contracting Coronavirus (COVID-19) or other viruses, it is impossible to guarantee a virus-free facility. Indeed, even despite precautions, health clubs, including rock climbing facilities such as AZR, are considered high risk establishments because, among other factors, it is impossible to thoroughly and regularly disinfect every high touch surface and because of the number of visitors at the facility at any given time and/or over a period of time. By following posted mitigation protocols, you will help us reduce the chances of transmission. By entering our facility, you acknowledge and accept the risk of spreading or contracting COVID-19 or other viruses. For more information, please visit cdc.gov/coronavirus. I Agree Our participation is entirely voluntary and with a full understanding that all such usage involves all manner of hazards and dangers. We choose to participate in spite of the risks. WE ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS, BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, WHETHER CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR OMISSIONS OF THE GYM. I Agree We have a responsibility to ourselves and other users of the GYM, to conduct ourselves in a safe manner. As directed by the GYM, we will watch the Gym’s basic climbing instruction video, participate in an orientation and/or receive basic instruction before climbing or belaying. If we are unsure about how to safely engage in any activities at any time, we will ask GYM staff for further instruction BEFORE participating. We are in good health and have no condition that will affect our safe participation in the activities, or else we assume and agree to bear the costs of all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by such condition. We will not use the GYM while under the influence of drugs or alcohol or while in any other condition that might impair us. We have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage we may cause or suffer while participating in the activities, or else we agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage. I Agree We use and accept items received from the GYM "AS IS" with no warranty, and participate in the activities and use the facilities and equipment at OUR OWN RISK. The GYM has no responsibility for lost, damaged or stolen items. I Agree WE HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FOREVER WAIVE, RELEASE, AND DISCHARGE AND AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE GYM FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR CAUSES OF ACTION WHATSOEVER FOR ANY HARM, LOSS, DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURIES OR DEATH ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (but not intentional conduct) IN CONNECTION WITH OUR PRESENCE, PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITIES AND/OR USE OF THE GYM’S FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT.
