LiveBlue Event Release of Liability

I, (“Participant”), acknowledge and understand that participation in the LiveBlue event identified in my registration, confirmation, or check-in record (the “Event”) may include snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, boating or vessel travel, entering and exiting the water, use of beaches, shorelines, docks, artificial reef sites and related equipment, shoreline or underwater cleanups, conservation and citizen-science activities, yoga, stretching, breathwork, meditation, and related instruction, transportation, setup, and cleanup (collectively, the “Activities”).

I understand that the Activities are voluntary, physically demanding, and may occur in open water or at locations distant from emergency services. They involve known and unknown risks that may result in property damage, emotional distress, illness, serious injury, permanent disability, paralysis, drowning, or death. These risks include waves, tides, currents, surf, low visibility, changing depth, weather, lightning, heat, sun exposure, dehydration, water quality, marine wildlife, coral, rocks, shells, sharp or submerged objects, artificial reef structures, entanglement, marine debris, vessels, propellers, docks, slips, trips, falls, equipment malfunction, air-supply problems, panic, fatigue, overexertion, pressure-related injury, decompression sickness, arterial gas embolism, nitrogen narcosis, and delayed or unavailable rescue, first aid, medical treatment, transportation, or recompression services.

I knowingly and voluntarily accept and assume all risks of participating in the Activities, including risks arising from site conditions, the acts or omissions of other participants or members of the public, and the ordinary negligence of a Released Party, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Release of Liability and Covenant Not to Sue

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, I RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Ocean Rescue Alliance International (“ORAI”), its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, staff, volunteers, agents, contractors, event hosts, identified partners and sponsors, instructors and guides, vessel owners, operators and crew, equipment providers, premises and site owners or managers, and each of their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”), for any claim, demand, action, damage, loss, cost, or liability arising out of or related to my participation in the Activities, including personal injury, illness, death, property damage, medical expenses, and wrongful-death or survival claims, even if caused in whole or in part by the ordinary negligence of a Released Party.

This release expressly includes claims alleging negligent failure to warn, instruct, supervise, plan, inspect, maintain, select a site, provide equipment, render first aid, perform a rescue, or obtain emergency assistance. It applies to claims brought by me or through me, including by my heirs, estate, personal representatives, and assigns. It does not release claims based on gross negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct, or any other claim that applicable law does not permit to be waived.

Participant Fitness and Safety Responsibilities

I certify that I am physically and medically able to participate safely. I will not participate while impaired by alcohol, drugs, medication, illness, fatigue, or any condition that could make participation unsafe. I will follow all safety instructions, site rules, dive plans, buddy procedures, boundaries, and directions from Event personnel, instructors, guides, vessel crew, and public authorities. I understand ORAI may suspend or end my participation for safety or conduct reasons.

I will inspect any equipment I use, ask questions if I am uncertain, report unsafe conditions or equipment, and stop participating if I feel unsafe or unable to continue. I will provide and properly use suitable personal equipment unless other arrangements are expressly made. If I scuba dive, I certify that I hold any certification required for the planned dive or am participating under properly authorized professional supervision, and I will remain within my training, certification, experience, and the applicable dive plan.

Medical Authorization

If I become injured or ill, I authorize Event personnel to contact emergency services and arrange or provide first aid, emergency care, transportation, and medical treatment reasonably believed necessary. I understand that the Released Parties do not promise that medical care or rescue will be available or successful. I accept responsibility for medical, rescue, transportation, and related costs not covered by insurance, except to the extent those costs arise from conduct that cannot legally be waived.

Responsibility for My Conduct

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree to indemnify and hold the Released Parties harmless from third-party claims, losses, or reasonable costs arising from my own negligent or intentional conduct, my violation of Event rules or law, or my misuse of equipment. This does not require me to indemnify a Released Party for that party's gross negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct, or liability that cannot legally be shifted.

Florida Law and General Terms

This Agreement is governed by Florida law, except to the extent applicable federal maritime law controls. Any action concerning this Agreement shall be brought in a state court located in Broward County, Florida, or, if federal jurisdiction exists, in the federal court serving Broward County, to the extent enforceable. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain effective.

Electronic signatures, typed names, click-through acceptance, and electronically stored records are intended to have the same force as original signatures to the extent permitted by law. This Agreement is the entire agreement concerning the matters it covers and may be modified only in a written agreement signed by ORAI and Participant.

Acknowledgment of Understanding

I HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS DOCUMENT. I understand that it is a release of liability and a legally binding contract, that I am giving up substantial legal rights, and that I sign or accept it freely and voluntarily without relying on any oral promise or statement.

LiveBlue Event Media Release

I grant ORAI and its identified event partners, licensees, designees, successors, and assigns permission to photograph, film, livestream, or otherwise record my image, likeness, appearance, voice, and statements voluntarily made during or in connection with the Event (the “Recordings”). This permission is royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, and irrevocable to the extent permitted by law.

I authorize the Recordings to be edited, reproduced, displayed, published, distributed, and used in any media for educational, conservation, fundraising, promotional, public-relations, documentary, website, social-media, advertising, and archival purposes, without compensation. ORAI owns Recordings created by or for ORAI and the resulting edited materials. This permission does not transfer ownership of materials I created independently before the Event.

I waive any right to inspect or approve authorized uses and release ORAI and the other media-release parties from claims arising from an authorized use, including claims based on privacy, publicity, or portrayal, except for uses that are unlawful or intentionally defamatory. I understand that this Media Release is binding upon me and my heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors, and assigns.

Additional Terms for a Minor Participant

If Participant is under 18, the signer represents that he or she is the minor's natural guardian and has legal authority to provide consent and execute this Agreement. The natural guardian consents to the minor's participation, agrees to the assumption-of-risk and release provisions on the minor's behalf to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, separately releases the natural guardian's own claims arising from the minor's participation, and grants the Media Release on the minor's behalf.
