RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING IT. YOUR SIGNATURE INDICATES YOU UNDERSTAND BOTH SECTION 1 AND SECTION 2 AND AGREE ON ALL TERMS SET FORHT IN THIS DOCUMENT IN IT'S ENTIRETY. BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND/OR YOUR CHILD ARE GIVING UP CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE OR RECOVER DAMAGES IN CASE OF INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGES, FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE NEGLIGENCE OF CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS, IT’S OWNER, SPONSORS, EMPLOYEES, AND/OR AGENTS (“THE RELEASEES”).

SECTION 1

CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS

I, the below-named participate, and guardian/parent, if applicable, in consideration of the services of CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS, the rate charged for those services, or the worth of them as freely given, and the right to engage in the activities as a participant, hereby acknowledge, agree, promise, and covenant with CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS, and all persons, entities, employees, and agents, and on behalf of myself (and/or my minor/child), personal representatives, heirs, next-of-kin, assigns, and spouses through this agreement (“Agreement”), I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT:

1.     ACKNOWELDGEMENT OF RISK. I acknowledge, agree, and represent that the riding activities (“Activities”) I am about to engage in voluntarily bear certain known risks and unanticipated risks which could result in injury, death, illness or disease, physical or mental damage to my myself, my property, or other third parties or their property, or the property of CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS. I further acknowledge that I understand the nature of riding and related Activities and that I am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such Activities, and willingly agree to comply with the stated customary terms and conditions of participation.

I further acknowledge that a horse or mule may, without warning or any apparent cause, buck, stumble, fall, rear, bite, kick, run, make unpredictable movements – which I understand relate to the inability to predict an equine’s reaction to sound, movements, objects, persons, or animals – spook, jump obstacles, step on a person’s feet, collide with another equine or object, push or shove a person, all of which may cause the rider to fall or be jolted, resulting in serious injury or death. I acknowledge the propensity of an equine to behave in dangerous ways that may result in injury to the participant. I further acknowledge the risk of saddles or bridles loosening or breaking, and of hazards of surface or subsurface conditions, all of which may cause the rider to fall or be jolted, resulting in serious injury or death.

 

2. ACCEPTANCE OF RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY. I acknowledge, agree, and represent that horseback riding is an inherently dangerous activity and involves risks that may cause serious injury, and in some cases, death. I understand that horses are unpredictable in nature and may exhibit irrational behavior, regardless of their training and past performance. I voluntarily assume the risk and danger of injury or death inherent in the use of a horse (or mule), including the use of equipment and gear provided by CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS and their staff.

I fully understand that:

  • (a) riding and related Activities involve risks and dangers of damage to personal property and serious bodily injury, including but not limited to, permanent disability, paralysis, and death to myself and to other third parties;
  • (b) these risks and dangers may be cause by my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Activities, and the actions or inactions of the horse or mule, the condition in which the Activities take place, or the negligence of the Releasees named below;
  • (c) there may be other risks and social and economic losses either known or unknown to me, or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I agree, covenant, and promise to accept and assume all responsibility and risk for injury, death, illness or disease, or damage to myself or property arising out of my participation in the Activities.

In addition I also warrant that I am not currently pregnant and that I have no history of epileptic seizures, heart conditions, mental illness, or any other medical problem(s) that could be affected by horseback riding.

 

3.     RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT. I hereby release, discharge, and covenant to accept and assume all responsibility and risk for injury, death, illness or disease, or damage to other third parties and their property arising from my participation in the Activities, and agree not to sue CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS, its instructors, employees, agents, owners, sponsors, and contractors (each considered a “Releasee”) from all liability, claims, demands, losses, injuries, damage to property, or other damages on my account cause in whole part or in part by the negligence of the Releasees, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, negligent training, negligent selecting of horses, negligent maintenance of equipment, negligent care, fit, or adjustment of saddles or bridles, negligent instruction given, negligent riding skills, leading, or supervising of any rides, and negligent rescue operations. I further agree that if despite this Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement, or anyone on my behalf, make a claim against anyone of the Releasees, I will indemnify and save and hold harmless each of the Releasees from any litigation, attorney fees, loss, liability, or cost which my incur as a result of such claim. I further understand that and agree to fully reimburse CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS for any damage cause to the property of CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS as a result of my participation in the Activities. My participation in the Activities is purely voluntary, no one is forcing me to participate, and I elect to participate despite the risks.

 

4.     ABIDE BY POLICIES. I agree to abide by CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS’ policies and agree to comply with all instructions in connection with participation in the Activities. I understand and agree that failure to follow such instructions shall be grounds for termination of my privilege to participate in the Activities without reimbursement or cancelation of fees paid or owed. I understand that the use or possession of drugs or alcohol is strictly prohibited before and during the Activities and will be grounds for immediate removal from the Activities without reimbursement of fees paid or owed. I agree that if in the judgment of my instructor and/or guide, he/she must call for assistance during the ride due to my noncompliance with his/her instructions or CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS’ policies, that I accept responsibility for paying any associated rescue and transportation costs.

 

5. AUTHORIZED PERSON AND USE. I acknowledge that the equipment used and/or rented is for the exclusive use of the Participant under this Agreement. No other person may ride or use the equipment except the Participant. Participants may not carry any other passenger on the horse or mule at any time. No minor, without the express consent of the minor’s parent or guardian and of CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS’ may participate.

 

6. LOSS/DAMAGES. I agree to pay CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS for all loss and/or damages to the property of CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS, regardless of fault. I agree to pay reasonable costs of repair, any diminution in value, or, if applicable, the replacement cost.

 

7. CONSENT OF THE USE OF ANY PHOTOGRAPHS, PICTURES, FILM, OR VIDEOS TAKEN OF ME. I consent to the use of any photographs, pictures, film, or videos taken of me or provided by me for publicity, promotion, television, website(s), or any other use, and expressly waive any right of privacy, compensation, copyright, or other ownership right connected to same by participating in or attending any Activities connected with CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS.

 

8. SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Agreement is unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

 

9. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. This agreement shall be deemed to have been entered into and to be performed in the United States of America and shall be construed according to the laws of the United States Virgin Islands, where the Activities occurred, and is intended to be broad and inclusive as is permitted by the Virgin Islands Equine Activity Limitation on Liability Act of 2008. Disputes, if any, rising out of this Agreement shall be brought in the state courts of the United States Virgin Islands.

 

In accordance with 32 V.I.C. § 186(b), I have been made aware of the following relevant United States Virgin Island Codes:

32 V.I.C. § 186(c) provides that:

“WARNING"

Under the Virgin Islands Equine Activity Limitation on Liability Act of 2008, an equine activity sponsor or equine professional is not liable for injury to or the death of a participant in an equine activity resulting from an inherent risk of the equine activity. Equines and equine activities are dangerous and being in the vicinity of an equine or equine activity may expose you to danger and injury.”                          

 

10.  EQUINE EXPERIENCE. I understand that each participant has sole individual responsibility for knowing the range of the participant's own ability to manage, care for, and control a particular horse or perform a particular equine activity, and it is the duty of each participant to act within the limits of the participant's own ability, to maintain reasonable control of the particular horse or horses at all times while participating in an equine activity, to heed all posted warnings, to perform equine activities only in an area or in facilities designated for equine activities, and to refrain from acting in a manner that may cause or contribute to the injury of anyone.I warrant that I am responding to any and all written, texted, emailed or verbal riding experience questions to the best of my knowledge and belief.

11. Payment. If paying through PayPal, this waiver also acts as an acknowledgement that you have agreed to pay via PayPal in the amount of $150 per person to participate. I understand that this payment is nonrefundable and may not be later disputed via PayPal customer service.


My signature below indicates that I have read this Agreement and fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, and have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature, and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. I understand that this is the entire agreement between CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS, its agents, employees, and myself, and that it cannot be modified or changed in any way by the representation or statements of any employee or agent of CRUZAN COWGIRLS HORSEBACK RIDING TOURS, or by me.
