Today's Date: December 22, 2024 I. Voluntary participation. I voluntarily choose to participate in ground training, flying, flight tours, or flight training activities in an aircraft operated by Fly Bay Area or at Fly Bay Area office location. II. Waiver. In consideration of being permitted to participate in any way with a Fly Bay Area flight, hereinafter called "Activity," I, for myself, my heirs, distributees, executers, guardians or legal representatives or assigns, do hereby release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue Fly Bay Area, its affiliated entities or owners, persons, employees, contractors and agents for liability from any and all claims resulting in illness (including COVID-19 Infection), personal injury, accidents, and property damage arising from, but not limited to participation in the Activity. No further waiver of any breach, any failure of a term or condition, or any right or remedy will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party waiving the breach, failure, right, or remedy. This waiver may not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or failure of the same term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition in this Agreement. This waiver does not establish or evidence any course of dealing between the parties. III. Assumption of risks. Participation in Activity carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid illness or injuries. I am aware of the inherent risks of illness, injury, death, and property damage involved in Activity, including without limitation risks due to exposure to viruses or bacteria in our facilities or aircraft, contact with other persons who may be symptomatic or asymptomatic for communicable diseases and infectious illness, pilot error, engine or mechanical failure, negligent maintenance, interference by wild life or other foreign objects, contaminated fuel, hard or forced landing, unfavorable weather or terrain, difficult search and rescue operations, turbulence, or other causes including infectious diseases. Injuries may range from (1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises and sprains to (2) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, bone fractures, heart attacks and concussions to (3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death, (4) illness, hospitalization, or death resulting from exposure to communicable or infectious disease agents. I am aware of the risks of illness, injury, death, and property damage that may result from, among other causes, the active or passive negligence of Fly Bay Area and its officers, owners, employees, and agents (collectively, "released parties"), including without limitation the risk of negligent instruction or supervision. I voluntarily engage in Activity with knowledge of the risks of illness, injury, death, property damage, and other risks, and assume any and all known and unknown risks of illness, injury, death, and property damage that may result from Activity. IV. Release of liability. I release released parties from all liability to me and my principals, employees, agents, representatives, guardians, successors, assigns, heirs, children, and next of kin for all liability, claims, damages, or demands for personal illness, injury, death or property damage, arising from or related to this agreement or to Activity, whether the illness, injury, death, or property damage occurs on or off the premises of Fly Bay Area. This release includes, without limitation, any personal illness, injury, death, or property damage caused by active or passive negligence of any of the released parties. I bear sole responsibility for any loss. V. Governing law. This agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of California. Any disputes relative to this agreement shall be settled according to the laws of the State of California. VI. Severability. I further expressly agree that the foregoing waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement is intended to be broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect. VII. Knowing and voluntary execution. I have carefully read this waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I understand that this agreement includes an assumption of the risk of the released parties' negligence and a release of their liability. I acknowledge that Fly Bay Area is materially relying on this waiver and is allowing me to engage in Activity. I agree that no oral representations, statements or inducements apart from the foregoing written agreement have been made. I also certify that I have no reason to believe that I have any physical or mental limitations which prevent me from safely participating in the Activity. I certify that I am age 18 years or older, unless my parent or legal guardian has signed below. I am signing this agreement freely and voluntarily, and intend by my signature to be in complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. |
