ROCK CLIMBING IS DANGEROUS! 

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING AND NOTE THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO SUE FOR ANY DAMAGES, HOWSOEVER CAUSED. 

YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT. 

EACH ADULT MUST SIGN THEIR OWN AGREEMENT.

THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE PARENT OR COURT-APPOINTED LEGAL GUARDIAN OF ANY PARTICIPANT UNDER THE AGE OF 18, OR BY THE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY ADULT PARTICIPANT WHO LACKS LEGAL CAPACITY TO SIGN ON THEIR OWN BEHALF.

Except where otherwise indicated by the context, all uses of the words “I”, “my”, “me” or other words in the singular shall be deemed to include myself and my child, children, or individual(s) without legal capacity on whose behalf I am signing, as applicable. For example, for a parent or legal guardian signing on behalf of a child under the age of 18, the phrase “my use of the Facilities” shall be read as “my use and my child’s use of the Facilities.”

To: Rock Room Inc. (“Rock Room”) other participants at 319/313 Victoria Avenue East, Thunder Bay ON (the “Property”), the owners and lessors of the Property, and their directors, officers, shareholders, employees, volunteers, representatives, contractors, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, successors and assigns (the “Releasees”). I acknowledge that this agreement limits the liability of the Releasees to the same extent as it limits the liability of Rock Room even though the Releasees are not formal parties to this agreement. 


I, hereby sign this agreement on behalf of myself, my personal representatives, heirs and assigns. I acknowledge that by signing this agreement, I am affirming that I have the legal capacity to sign this agreement.

By entering into this Release Agreement, I am not relying on any oral or written representations or statements made by the Releasees with respect to the safety of participating in the Activities, other than what is set forth in this Release Agreement. 

I Agree

I have read this Release Agreement prior to signing it, have had sufficient opportunity to review its terms, fully understand its terms, and I am aware that by signing this Release Agreement I am waiving substantial legal rights which I or my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators, assigns and representatives, may have against the Releasees. I confirm that I am signing this Release Agreement freely and voluntarily without any inducement, realizing that it is a legally binding document.

I Agree

By entering into this Release Agreement, I am also consenting to Rock Room's use of video and photo recording technology to collect my likeness for both administrative and promotional purposes. 

I Agree
 

This Release Agreement shall continue indefinitely but may, at the option of Rock Room, be required to be replaced by the undersigned from time to time.

I Agree

I confirm that I have been provided with an opportunity to request a copy of this Release Agreement.

I understand that ANY form of physical exercise, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDOOR ROCK CLIMBING, BOULDERING AND USE OF THE FACILITIES carries elevated risks for individuals with elevated medical concerns, and that by signing this Release Agreement I am voluntarily assuming all risks associated with my use of the facility, included those which are unique to my individual medical circumstances. 

I FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH DANGERS AND RISKS AND THE LOSS, DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, EXPENSE OR INJURY INCLUDING DEATH RESULTING FROM ANY OF THE INHERENT RISKS OF EXERCISE, INDOOR ROCK CLIMBING, BOULDERING AND MY USE OF THE FACILITIES
