TRAIL STEWARD PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT


1. Purpose

This Trail Steward Participation Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between Three Ridges Events, LLC, a New Hampshire limited liability company (the “Company”), and the individual identified in the signature block below (the “Participant”). The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms under which the Participant may voluntarily assist the Company with trail maintenance activities at the Company’s property located at 685 Chesterfield Road, Hinsdale, New Hampshire (the “Property”), and to confirm that the Participant’s relationship to the Company is strictly voluntary and non-employment in nature.

2. Scope of Participant Activities

Participant’s activities under this Agreement are strictly limited to trail maintenance, including the clearing of vegetation, removal of brush, and cutting and removal of small trees and downed limbs that obstruct or threaten existing trails. All activities are to be performed using hand tools that the Participant supplies, owns, and is responsible for at the Participant’s own expense and risk.

Use of small electric or gas-powered saws is permitted only by specific individuals who have received express advance permission from the Company on a case-by-case basis. Where permitted, the use of such powered tools is intended solely for speed and convenience in removing small trees and limbs that are impractical to cut by hand. Powered tool use does not authorize the Participant to remove large trees, leaning trees, hung-up trees, dead-standing trees, or any tree the cutting of which would present elevated risk. Felling or removal of large or dangerous trees is reserved exclusively to the Company’s owners or to licensed professionals retained by the Company. The Participant agrees not to attempt such work under any circumstances, regardless of perceived skill or experience.

Participant shall not, under any circumstances, perform any of the following: construction of any kind; installation of structures, signage, gates, or fixtures; guest check-in or registration; collection of fees or payments; direction or supervision of guests; operation of motorized vehicles or equipment belonging to the Company; emergency response coordination beyond personal safety; social media management or communications on behalf of the Company; or any other park operations. Any activity not expressly described in this Section 2 is outside the scope of this Agreement and is prohibited.

3. Non-Monetary Recognition

In recognition of the Participant’s voluntary contributions, the Company may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, provide the Participant with non-monetary forms of recognition. The form, value, frequency, and continuation of any such recognition shall be determined by the Company on a case-by-case basis and may include, by way of example and without limitation, complimentary trail time for a portion of a day, complimentary day-use park passes, a complimentary annual park pass, complimentary camping access, or food and refreshments provided to a participating group. The Company is under no obligation to provide any particular form, value, or amount of recognition, and any recognition previously provided does not entitle the Participant to the same or any other form of recognition in the future.

Under no circumstances shall the Participant receive monetary compensation, wages, salary, tips, gratuities, hourly pay, piece-rate pay, profit sharing, bonuses, commissions, or any other form of cash payment from the Company. The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the non-monetary recognition described in this Section 3 is the sole and exclusive consideration provided in connection with the Participant’s voluntary activities, and that the Participant is not entitled to any other compensation of any kind.

4. No Employment, Contractor, or Agency Relationship

The Participant is not, and shall not be deemed to be, an employee, independent contractor, agent, partner, joint venturer, or representative of the Company. This Agreement does not create an employment relationship, an independent contractor relationship, an agency relationship, or any other legal relationship between the Participant and the Company except the strictly voluntary relationship expressly described in this Agreement.

Because the Participant is not an employee or contractor of the Company, the Participant is not entitled to and will not receive: wages or salary; overtime pay; minimum-wage protections; paid or unpaid leave; health, dental, vision, life, or disability insurance benefits; workers’ compensation insurance coverage; unemployment compensation; retirement or pension benefits; or any other employee or contractor benefit of any kind. The Company will not issue an IRS Form W-2 or Form 1099 to the Participant, will not withhold income, Social Security, Medicare, or other taxes from any non-monetary recognition provided, and will not make any payroll filings on the Participant’s behalf.

5. No Ownership, Equity, or Profit-Sharing Rights

Participation under this Agreement does not create and shall not be construed to create any ownership interest, membership interest, partnership interest, profit-sharing right, revenue-sharing right, equity claim, or other proprietary interest in the Company, the Property, or any affiliated entity.

6. No Authority to Speak for or Represent the Company

The Participant has no authority, actual or apparent, to enter into agreements on behalf of the Company, to make commitments or promises on behalf of the Company, to provide official statements on behalf of the Company, or to otherwise bind the Company in any way.

In addition, the Participant agrees not to represent or hold themselves out, expressly or by implication, as an employee, agent, spokesperson, representative, official volunteer, team member, staff member, or affiliate of the Company in any context. This restriction applies without limitation to in-person conversations with other guests or members of the public, statements to vendors or third parties, posts or comments on social media platforms (including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, and any group, forum, or community page), participation in podcasts or interviews, and any other public or semi-public communications. Without express prior written authorization from Company management, the Participant shall not use the Company’s name, logo, trademarks, or branded materials in any manner that suggests an official or representative affiliation, and shall not respond to inquiries about Company policies, operations, pricing, or services in a representative capacity.

7. Compliance with Park Rules

The Participant agrees to comply with all Park Rules as posted and updated from time to time by the Company, with all posted signage and notices, and with all safety requirements and instructions communicated by the Company or its representatives. The Participant acknowledges that Park Rules may change at any time and that it is the Participant’s responsibility to remain informed of the current rules each time the Participant is on the Property.

8. Liability Waiver — Required Signature; Applies Regardless of Payment Status

Before commencing any activity under this Agreement, including both trail maintenance work and any subsequent recreational use of the trails, the Participant must read, sign, and submit the Company’s standard Guest Liability Waiver and Release (the “Waiver”). Activity may not begin until the Waiver has been signed.

The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Waiver applies to the Participant in full force and effect at all times the Participant is present on the Property, regardless of whether the Participant has paid an entry fee, purchased a pass, or otherwise compensated the Company for access. For all purposes of the Waiver, including but not limited to the assumption of risk, release of liability, indemnification, and acknowledgment of inherent hazards, the Participant shall be treated as a guest of the Company. The non-paying status of the Participant during volunteer activities shall not be a basis for arguing that the Waiver does not apply, is unenforceable, or has reduced effect.

The Participant further acknowledges that off-road properties contain inherent hazards including, without limitation, uneven and unstable terrain, rocks, mud, water crossings, falling trees, branches, and other overhead hazards, weather conditions, biting and stinging insects, wildlife, hand and power tools, machinery, motor vehicles operated by the Company and by guests, and other natural and man-made hazards. The Participant voluntarily assumes all such risks.

9. Personal Safety, Medical Care, and Insurance

The Participant agrees to exercise sound independent judgment regarding personal safety at all times, to use appropriate personal protective equipment, including without limitation eye protection, hand protection, foot protection, and hearing protection when operating powered tools, and to immediately discontinue any activity that the Participant believes to be unsafe.

The Participant acknowledges that the Company does not provide medical care, medical insurance, or workers’ compensation coverage of any kind for the Participant. The Participant is solely responsible for maintaining the Participant’s own health insurance and for the cost of any medical care, transport, or treatment that may be required as a result of any injury, illness, or condition arising during or in connection with the Participant’s activities under this Agreement.

The Participant agrees to immediately report any injury, near-miss, property damage, or unsafe condition to a Company owner or designated representative as soon as reasonably possible.

10. Voluntary Participation Acknowledgment

The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that participation under this Agreement is entirely voluntary; that no person has required, pressured, coerced, induced, or solicited the Participant to participate; that the Participant is under no obligation to participate, to continue participating, or to perform any particular task; and that the Participant may decline any task, take a break at any time, or end the Participant’s involvement at any moment for any reason or no reason, without notice and without consequence of any kind. The Participant’s decision to participate is being made freely and with full understanding of the nature of the activities and the terms of this Agreement.

11. No Expectation of Future Opportunity or Recognition

Each occasion on which the Participant performs activities under this Agreement is a discrete, standalone arrangement. Nothing in this Agreement, and no prior practice or course of dealing between the Company and the Participant, creates any obligation on the part of the Company to offer future volunteer opportunities, to schedule the Participant for any particular date or activity, or to provide any particular form, value, or amount of recognition in the future. Likewise, the Participant is under no obligation to be available, to appear at any scheduled time, or to perform any future activity.

12. Tools, Equipment, and Personal Property

The Participant shall supply, at the Participant’s own expense, all hand tools and, where expressly permitted under Section 2, small electric or gas-powered saws used by the Participant in performing activities under this Agreement. The Participant is solely responsible for the inspection, maintenance, safe operation, fueling, charging, and storage of such tools. The Company does not warrant, inspect, or assume responsibility for the condition or safety of the Participant’s tools, vehicles, or other personal property.

The Company shall not be liable for any loss of, damage to, or theft of the Participant’s tools, vehicles, clothing, mobile devices, or other personal property brought onto the Property, regardless of cause.

13. At-Will Nature; Termination

This Agreement and the Participant’s involvement under it are strictly at-will. Either party may terminate this Agreement and the Participant’s involvement at any time, for any reason or for no reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to the other party. Termination shall not give rise to any obligation for severance, future recognition, future access, or any other compensation or benefit. The provisions of Sections 4 through 12, 14, and 16 through 19 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

14. Age Requirement; Minors

The Participant must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to enter into this Agreement and to perform activities under it. If the individual proposing to perform volunteer activities is under eighteen (18) years of age, the activities may proceed only with the express advance written consent of the minor’s parent or legal guardian, who must also sign this Agreement and the Waiver on the minor’s behalf, and the minor’s scope of permitted activity may be further restricted by the Company in its sole discretion. Operation of powered tools by minors is not permitted under any circumstances.

15. Governing Law; Venue

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cheshire County, New Hampshire, and the Participant consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

16. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or, if it cannot be so modified, shall be severed from this Agreement. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

17. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures

This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, including by electronic signature, scanned image, or photograph of an original signature, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

18. Photography and Likeness

The Participant acknowledges that the Company may photograph or record video at the Property, including during volunteer activities, for the Company’s lawful business and promotional purposes. The Participant grants the Company a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive right to use the Participant’s image, likeness, and voice in such photographs and recordings, in any media now known or hereafter developed, without further notice, consent, or compensation. If the Participant does not wish to be photographed or recorded, the Participant must notify the Company in writing before commencing activities.

19. Entire Agreement; Amendment

This Agreement, together with the Waiver and the Park Rules referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and the Participant regarding the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, or representations. This Agreement may be modified only in a writing signed by both the Participant and an authorized representative of the Company.
