My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. 3. Indemnity, release and hold harmless agreement in favor of JFF.

By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against JFF on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I also agree that this document is valid for subsequent visits and participation at JFF. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms. Date Signed: November 10, 2024
