In consideration of being allowed to participate in the Activities, on behalf of Myself and all other Participants, I agree as follows: 1. Participating in the Activity is hazardous and involves the risk of physical injury or death. The dangers and risks of the Activities include, but are not limited to: drowning; impacts with water, shores, reefs, ocean bottoms, boats, propellers, other participants, and man-made objects and structures, including buoys, and buildings; waves; wakes; entanglement with other participants; entrapment; wet and slippery surfaces on shore; slips, falls, and collisions; accidents of any kind on the property; Kite Beach; or involving any of its surfaces; exposure to wildlife, insects, and waterborne or airborne diseases such as the COVID-19; inclement weather; lightning; low water temperature; heat or sun-related injuries and illnesses, including sunburn, sunstroke, and dehydration; and equipment malfunction, failure, and defects. I acknowledge that the description of the dangers and risks listed above is not complete and that participating in the Activity may be dangerous and may include other risks, including, but not limited to, the acts, omissions, representations, carelessness, and negligence of the Released Parties. 2. By signing this Agreement, I, on my own behalf, acknowledge the risks and dangers associated with the Activities and agree to (1) assume any and all risks of injury or death to Myself resulting from participation in any Activity; (2) waive, release, and not sue or file any actions or claims which I may have ever had or hereafter shall have against Released Parties that are based on, arise or result from, in whole or in part, participation in any Activities, including, but not limited to, negligence, premises liability, or breach of contract claims; and (3) indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any liability or damage of any kind and from any suits, claims, or demands, including legal fees and expenses, whether or not in litigation, arising out of or related to the Participant’s participation in the Activity. 3.

I give the Released Parties permission to take and use photographs or recordings of the Participant during an Activity and use and sublicense such material for any purpose in print, advertisements, films, videos, online, and broadcast presentations. 5.

I agree to pay all costs associated with such medical care and related transportation. 6.

By signing this Agreement without a legal guardian’s signature, I represent, under penalty of fraud, that I am at least 18 years old. 7. I acknowledge that the Participant has verified with a medical doctor that they are in a physical condition that is suitable and safe to conduct all activities at Kite Beach. Prior to commencing each activity at Kite Beach, the Participant will notify instructors about any preexisting medical conditions. If a Participant does not feel physically capable of performing an Activity at the Kite Beach, they will refrain from that activity. The Participant will utilize all appropriate safety devices at Kite Beach (such as a Coast Guard Approved lifejacket, helmet, and nose clips) and only participate in activities appropriate for their skill level. 8. I acknowledge that the Released Parties may deny access to Kite Beach to the Participant at any time and could result in disciplinary action, including fines or permanent loss of access. 9. This Agreement will apply for every day a Participant engages in any Activity without requiring a new agreement, until revoked in writing by Me and accepted in writing by the Released Parties’ authorized representative. All claims arising from or related to any Activity by the Participant shall be governed by Dominican Republic law, and exclusive jurisdiction shall be in Dominican Republic court where the alleged incident occurred. 10. I agree that, by typing my name or providing any other type of electronic confirmation, I am providing an electronic signature that is the legal equivalent of a manual signature.
