I acknowledge that I have carefully read this waiver and release and fully understand that it is a release of all liability. To the extent that statue or case law does not prohibit releases for negligence, this release is also for negligence on the part of HCGS, its agents, contractors, owners, and employees.

If any, these prescriptions are necessary during the time that I will be participating in the activity and I am aware of the risks of being in a rural or remote location where medical attention may take longer than normal to respond to an emergency situation – in some cases an extended care of multiple days. In the event that any provision contained within this Release of Liability shall be deemed to be severable or invalid, or if any term, condition, phrase or portion of this agreement shall be determined to be unlawful or otherwise un-forcible, the remainder of this agreement shall remain in full force and effect, so long as the clause severed does not affect the intent of the parties, If a court should find that any provision of this agreement to be invalid or un-forcible, but that by limiting said provision it would become valid and enforceable, then said provision shall be deemed to be written, construed as so limited.
