Fort Rock Climbing Center


THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT. Read it carefully before signing and consult with an attorney if you are uncertain about its terms. Alterations are not permitted. This Agreement must be read and signed by all participants 5 years of age and older. If the participant is a minor (under 18), it must be signed also by the child's natural guardian (defined by pertinent Florida law as the child's mother or father, by birth or adoption, or, if the parents are divorced, the parent to whom custody is awarded). The natural guardian signs for himself or herself and on behalf of the child. Minors presenting this form bearing the signature of a natural guardian may be required to prove the authenticity of the signature. A minor who signs this agreement does so to reflect his or her understanding of the activities and their risks.

In consideration of being allowed to participate, participant and, if participant is a minor, natural guardian, acknowledge and agree as follows:

1. Activities and Risks

Climbing on artificial climbing walls, and related activities (including, but not limited to, bouldering, challenge type activities and fitness or exercise classes) exposes participants to numerous risks which might result in physical and emotional injury, death or property loss or damage. These risks include, among others, the following: falling to the floor or pads; falling or swinging into the climbing wall and other structures and objects; being struck by falling climbers, hardware, tools, broken or dropped holds and other objects; entanglement in ropes; abrasions and/other injuries from contact with climbing walls, ropes, holds, loose holds, dropped holds, broken holds, pads, or the floor. Climbing and belaying equipment and structures may malfunction, be defective, or fail; and absorbing materials, including pads, below the wall may not prevent all injuries from falls. Participants may participate out of control or beyond their limits or otherwise act in a negligent or intentional manner which contributes to the injury or death of themselves or another participant. Staff, visitors, belayers and other persons present may act negligently or engage in other wrongful conduct. The facility may fail to warn participants or the natural guardians of certain inherent risks. These risks are inherent in a participant's enrollment and climbing and related activities and they cannot be eliminated without altering the nature of the experience. Other risks may be encountered. If I am the natural guardian of a minor participant, I have explained the risks and possible outcomes to the child. I, and the child, understand them and we both choose for the child to participate nevertheless. My, or the child's, participation is voluntary.

2. Assumption of Risks:

I, participant or, if the participant is a minor, natural guardian, for myself and on behalf of the child, to the maximum extent allowed by law, understand, acknowledge and assume any and all risks of the Fort Rock Climbing Center, activities and the use of its facilities and equipment, inherent or not, and whether or not described in this document. 

3. Release and Indemnity (Adult participant):

I, an adult participant, hereby release and covenant not to sue Fort Rock Climbing Center, its owners, successors, affiliates, employees and agents (hereinafter each a "Released Party", or collectively "Released Parties"), with respect to liability for any personal injury, including death, property loss or damage, and all other claims, demands or causes of action which accrue to me, which are in any way related to my enrollment or participation in an activity of Fort Rock Climbing Center or the use of its facilities or equipment. In addition, I agree to protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify (including the payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and insurance deductibles) Released Parties and each of them with respect to any claim of loss suffered or caused by me, by whomever it may be brought, which relates in any way to my enrollment in an activity of Fort Rock Climbing Center or the use of its facilities or equipment. These agreements of release and indemnity include claims of negligent (including, to the extent allowed by law, grossly negligent) acts or omissions of a Released Party, but not intentionally wrongful conduct.

Waiver of Claims and Liability Related to Infection of Coronavirus/COVID-19:

I agree that there is no way to determine if any illness I may get is the fault of or cause by Fort Rock Climbing Center, and I waive any claim I may make that Fort Rock Climbing Center caused any illness I may develop. I voluntarily agree of my own free will to be at Fort Rock Climbing Center and participate in activities at Fort Rock Climbing Center. I assume any risk of infection and covenant not to sue Fort Rock Climbing Center and if I do sue, it is a breach of this agreement which is legally enforceable.

4. Release and Indemnity (Natural guardian for himself or herself and on behalf of a minor participant):

As the natural guardian of the minor participant I, for myself and on behalf of my minor child, hereby release and covenant not to sue Fort Rock Climbing Center, its owners, successors, affiliates, employees and agents (hereinafter each a "Released Party", or collectively "Released Parties"), with respect to liability for any personal injury, including death, property loss or damage, and any and all other claims, demands or causes of action which accrue to me or to my child which are in any way related to the child's enrollment or participation in an activity of Fort Rock Climbing Center or the use of its facilities or equipment. The claims which I hereby release for myself include claims of negligent (including, to the extent allowed by law, grossly negligent) acts or omissions of a Released Party, but not intentionally wrongful conduct. The claims which I release on behalf of my child are those which accrue to the child resulting from an inherent risk of the child's enrollment or participation in an activity of Fort Rock Climbing Center or the use of its facilities or equipment. (IMPORTANT: for purposes of this Release by the natural guardian on behalf of the minor child "inherent risk" is defined by pertinent Florida law as those dangers or conditions, known or unknown, which are characteristic of, intrinsic to, or an integral part of the activity and which are not eliminated even if the activity provider acts with due care in a reasonable manner. The term includes, among other acts or omissions, the failure of the activity provider to warn the natural guardian for the child of an inherent risk, and the negligent or intentional acts of the child or another participant which may contribute to the injury or death of the minor participant. "Participant" for purposes of this Release, DOES NOT include Fort Rock Climbing Center, its owners, successors, affiliates, employees, and agents.) In addition, I agree to protect, defend, hold harmless and indemnify (including the payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and insurance deductibles) Released Parties and each of them, with respect to any claim of loss suffered or caused by the child, by whomever it may be brought, in any way related to my minor child's enrollment in an activity of Fort Rock Climbing Center or the use of its facilities or equipment. This agreement of indemnity includes claims of negligent (including, to the extent allowed by law, grossly negligent) acts or omissions of a Released Party, but not intentionally wrongful conduct.

5. Other:

a. I, an adult participant or natural guardian, agree that this Agreement is intended to be a broad and inclusive as permitted by the State of Florida, and if any part of this Agreement is held by a court of law to be unenforceable, the remainder shall survive. It is my intent to comply fully with Florida law, including with respect to a natural guardian's authority to release certain claims on behalf of his or her child or ward. The venue of any legal action arising out of, concerning or involving this document, or a claim of any sort against a Released Party will be Lee County, Florida. I agree also that the laws of the State of Florida (not including the laws which might apply in another jurisdiction) will be applied to an interpretation of this Agreement and any dispute which arises between me, or the child, and a Released Party.

b. l agree further that this agreement will remain in full force and effect and apply to subsequent visits to Fort Rock Climbing Center by me, or the minor child, until revoked in writing, with notice to the other party. Future participation and use of Fort Rock Climbing Center is evidence of my or the child's continuing agreement with the terms of this document.

c. I understand that photographs and video recordings which include me or the child may be taken at Fort Rock Climbing Center's facilities. I agree that Fort Rock Climbing Center may use my or the child's likeness in any and all of its publications and advertisements without payment or any other consideration.

d. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior written or oral agreements between themconcerning the subject matter herein. In the event of a dispute between the parties, the prevailing party shall be entitled to award of its reasonable fees and costs. 

e. Fort Rock Climbing Center wants to provide a fun environment for all participants and spectators. I, and the child, understand and agree that Fort Rock Climbing Center reserves the right to deny or revoke access to anyone for any act deemed inappropriate. l, or the child and I, have read, understand and agree to obey the posted Safety Rules which are printed and available at Fort Rock Climbing Center’s website.

Waiver of Claims and Liability Related to Infection of Coronavirus/COVID-19

Related to Risk Infection of Coronavirus/COVID-19 

I know that indoor and outdoor climbing and fitness gym usage is a close contact sport that heightens the risk of exposure to coronavirus. I know that I could be exposed to coronavirus at Fort Rock Climbing Center and could become ill after such exposure. I agree that Fort Rock Climbing Center has taken reasonable precautions to prevent my exposure to coronavirus and that no amount of care or caution by Fort Rock Climbing Center can eliminate the risk that I am exposed to coronavirus or develop illness.I agree that there is no way to determine if any illness I or my minor child or children may get is the fault of or cause Fort Rock Climbing Center, and I waive any claim I may make that Fort Rock Climbing Center caused any illness I or my minor child or children may develop. I voluntarily agree of my own free will for myself and my minor child or children to be at Fort Rock Climbing Center and participate in activities at Fort Rock Climbing Center. I assume any risk of infection and covenant not to sue Fort Rock Climbing Center and if I do sue, it is a breach of this agreement which is legally enforceable.

I represent that I have complete and absolute authority to bind, contract for and legally act on behalf of myself and the minor participant, and understand and agree that Released Parties rely to their detriment upon this representation and would not allow the minor child to participate without this representation. I have had sufficient opportunity to read and understand this document and intend for it to be binding on me, the minor child who is a participant, and members of my, and the child's, respective heirs, families, estates, personal representatives, and assigns. Natural Guardian(s) must sign below for the minor child to participate and agree that they and the minor child are subject to all the terms of this document, as set forth above.

For Minor Participants: If you are submitting this form for your minor child but you - the legal guardian - will not be present for the first visit but rather have your child accompanied by another authorized adult, they will be required to bring a copy or photo of the legal guardian's driver license upon their first visit to Fort Rock Climbing Center. 

This waiver must be completed for each adult and minor who will be staying within the facility and is valid for 6 months. 

Note Regarding Emergency Contacts: Ideally, please use someone who is NOT attending the gym with you today (or who will NOT be with you regularly).
