1. I acknowledge that my participation in Boating and Tubing Activities entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.

The risks include, among other things: slips and falls; accidental drowning; boat capsize and entrapment; travel in remote areas; collision with objects or other watercraft; rapidly changing adverse weather and water conditions; watercraft is slippery when wet and accidents can occur getting on or off; exhaustion; exposure to the elements of the outdoors and natural surroundings which could cause cold water shock, hypothermia, hyperthermia (heat related illnesses), heat exhaustion, sunburn, dehydration; exposure to potentially dangerous wild animals, insect bites, and hazardous plant life; aggressive and/or poisonous marine life; passengers can be jolted, jarred, bounced, thrown about and otherwise shaken during rides; equipment failure; collision with fixed or movable objects; injuries resulting from propellers collisions, and flipping over; accidents or illness can occur in remote places without medical facilities; transmissible pathogens or diseases; my own physical condition, and the physical exertion associated with this activity. Additionally, fatigue, chill and/or dizziness may diminish my/our reaction time and increase the risk of an accident.

Furthermore, CATF personnel have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant's fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather or other environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.

2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. Additionally, I agree to wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (life jacket) while participating in this activity.

3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless CATF from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of CATF 's equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of CATF.

4. Should CATF or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.

5. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have.

6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against CATF, I agree to do so solely in, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining document shall remain in full force and effect.

No refunds will be offered.

This card will be charged for the rental period agreed upon and if damages or additional charges that exceed the security deposit.

At NO TIME should the total weight in the boat exceed the maximum listed weight marked on the plate on the side of the boat (persons and watercraft must all be added up and should not exceed the listed weight). Even if the weight has not been reached, caution must be exercised so as not to allow waves to enter the boat from rough water or sports activity.

19. REPAIRS-SERVICE CALLS: RENTER acknowledges and understands that CATF cannot guarantee mechanical failures of the rental watercraft, RENTER shall immediately notify CATF of defective and non-working watercraft. CATF will make commercially reasonable efforts to repair or replace defective units as quickly and efficiently as possible, although this is not always possible during the rental period. Repairs due to normal wear and tear on the watercraft will be made by CATF. Should a repair person make a call to repair or service a unit that is found to be in working order, and the problem was due to the RENTERS oversight misunderstandings, damage, neglect, or misuse, RENTER agrees that the repair and all costs will be billed to the RENTER.
