Collectively and severally, Adult Participant, Legal Guardian and Child Participant, and their estates, heirs, executors, and representatives, are referred to, collectively, as the Participant. In consideration of Supplier permitting Participant access to the Premises and the ability to participate in the Activities, including the Activities that may occur in, about, or near The Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Theater, Farm, & Adventure Park (Premises), Participant agrees as follows:

If you have any questions, please contact a manager before purchasing admission. 

2.2 Scope. I expressly agree that the Release and Indemnity provided for in this Agreement shall cover all physical and emotional injuries and/or damages, including without limitation all bodily injury (including death) and property damage, whether suffered by me or anyone else before, during, or after participation.

3. Assumption of Risks.

Notwithstanding the foregoing risks and safety measures implemented by Supplier, Participant acknowledges it is impossible to eliminate all risk of injury and understands the demands of the Activities relative to Participant’s physical condition and skill level. PARTICIPANT AFFIRMS THAT PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITIES IS VOLUNTARY AND PARTICIPANT KNOWINGLY, WITH UNDERSTANDING OF THE RISKS AND POTENTIAL INJURIES, ASSUMES ALL RISKS INHERENT WITH THE ACTIVITIES AND ACCESS TO THE PREMISES, AND ANY RESULING INJURIES OR DAMAGES. 

4. Alcohol.

Participant agrees to exercise ordinary and reasonable care and to not consume alcohol to the extent Participant’s judgment is impaired. Participant understands the potential risks associated with the consumption of alcohol and acknowledges Participant does not have and is not aware of any medical condition that would result in any injury to Participant due to Participant’s consumption of alcohol. Participant assumes the risks associated with alcohol consumption and takes full responsibility for Participant’s own actions, safety, and welfare. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL PARTICIPANT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES IF PARTICIPANT HAS CONSUMED ALCOHOL. 

5. Release and Indemnity.

PARTICIPANT acknowledges herein that this Agreement requires PARTICIPANT to release PROTECTED PARTIES from claims arising out of or related to PROTECTED PARTIES’ own negligence. PARTICIPANT willingly undertakes these obligations following fair and equitable negotiations at arm’s length, and not as a result of duress or other inequitable coercion. It is expressly understood and agreed that PARTICIPANT’s release is intended to be as broad as possible in order to comply with, and to the fullest and maximum extent permitted under, applicable law.   It is the clear, express and unequivocal intention of PARTICIPANT that, even if allegations of fault are presented against PROTECTED PARTIES, and even if the finder of fact ultimately apportions negligence, fault or other liability to PROTECTED PARTIES for the claim, PARTICIPANT shall nonetheless release PROTECTED PARTIES against such claim.

UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED HEREIN, SUPPLIER MAKES NO EXPLICIT OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES, OR WARRANTIES PERTAINING TO THE NATURE AND/OR SAFETY OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ACTIVITIES AND/OR THE HAZARDS AND/OR RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EQUIPMENT OR ACTIVITIES AND/OR PREMISES. IF PARTICIPANT VIOLATES THIS AGREEMENT BY MAKING SUCH A CLAIM, PARTICIPANT WILL PAY ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS INCURRED BY PROTECTED PARTIES IN DEFENDING SUCH A CLAIM.

6. Dispute Resolution.

Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ADULT PARTICIPANT AND SUPPLIER KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY, AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH FULL AWARENESS OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES, AFTER CONSULTING WITH COUNSEL (OR AFTER HAVING WAIVED THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL) AGREES TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE AND TO RESOLVE ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THROUGH ARBITRATION. The right to a trial by jury is a right that parties would or might otherwise have had under the Constitutions of the United States of America and the state in which the Premises is located. 

7. Authority.

If Adult Participant signs this Agreement on behalf of his/her spouse, child, family member, friend, minor child, or any other person, Adult Participant warrants and represents to Supplier that he/she has read and understands this Agreement, has the legal authority, and/or such person’s actual and/or implied authority, to execute this Agreement on their behalf, including, but not limited to, the arbitration clause, release, indemnity agreement, and license. 

8. Acknowledgments.

Participant represents to the Protected Parties that this Agreement is made in consideration for being permitted to participate in the Activities, is a complete and final release and indemnity agreement, that Participant is voluntarily entering into this Agreement, and no representations, promises, or statements made by any of the Protected Parties has influenced Participant in signing this Agreement. Participant agrees that there are no oral agreements, representations, promises, or warranties that are not expressly set forth herein.  This Agreement may only be modified in writing.  Participant is not relying on any statements or representations of the Protected Parties that are not expressly contained herein. Participant expressly agrees that this Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the state in which the Premises is located and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the invalid portion shall be deemed reformed or deleted to comply with law, and the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect. Venue for any action brought hereunder or due to Participant’s use of the Premises or participation in the Activities shall lie in the County in which the Premises are located. The substantive laws of the state in which the Premises are located shall apply. By signing below, Participant authorizes Supplier to communicate with Participant via email with updates, news, advertisements, and offers.

F.  Supplier may, but shall not be obligated or required to, administer to Participant emergency aid, CPR, and use an AED (defibrillator), secure emergency medical care or transportation (i.e., EMS), and Participant shall assume all costs of emergency medical care and transportation.
