  1. That the Participant’s Parent is not relying on any oral or written statements made by the Organization or their agents, whether in brochure or advertisement or in individual conversations, to agree that the Participant be involved in the Activities;
  2. To freely accept and fully assume all such risks, dangers and hazards, and possibility of personal injury, death, property damage, expense and related loss, including loss of income, resulting from the Participant’s participation in the Activities and travel to and from the Activities; and
