Waiver & Release, Assumption of Risk & Indemnity Agreement

I, undersigned, hereby acknowledge that I have voluntarily applied to enter on to and to engage in or observe shooting and other activities at the Shooting Range Facility (the "RANGE") at Vault Arms, LLC (“Vault Arms”). These activities include, but are not limited to, the use and discharge of firearms at the RANGE, the use and discharge of rental firearms provided by the RANGE and the services and training by employees of the RANGE.

I acknowledge and understand that shooting activities are inherently hazardous and involve both known and unanticipated risks which could result in damage or destruction of property and physical or emotional injury, including paralysis or death, of myself or of other persons. These risks include, but are not limited to: being shot by or shooting myself or others; partial or total loss of eyesight or hearing; inhalation or other harmful contact with lead or other contaminants; and being struck by flying or falling objects. I further understand that the discharging of firearms and the use of ammunition have inherent dangers that no amount of care, instruction, or expertise can eliminate.

I further acknowledge and understand that the RANGE is an indoor shooting facility which utilizes a series of component parts, including a bullet trap to decelerate discharged ammunition; however, I understand that these component parts and bullet traps of the RANGE, do not, in every instance, contain bullets or bullet fragments and has been known to cause ricochets which could cause serious personal injury or death. I further acknowledge and understand that Vault Arms makes no warranty as to the design, manufacture, condition or fitness for any particular purpose of any RANGE facilities or equipment, including, but not limited to: firearms, ammunition, eye/hearing protection, and first-aid supplies.

I represent that I have never been convicted of a felony in any of the 50 United States. Texas law prohibits any person convicted of a felony to be present in any environment where firearms are present. I represent that I am experienced and skilled in the proper handling, loading, use and discharge of all firearms and ammunition I intend to use at the RANGE. I understand that the RANGE is specifically relying on the truth of my representations concerning my experience with firearms, in permitting me to make use of the RANGE.

As lawful consideration for being permitted by Vault Arms to enter on to the RANGE, to use RANGE facilities or equipment and to engage in or observe shooting and other activities at the RANGE, as either a Member or a Guest, I agree as follows:

I agree to assume full responsibility for any and all risks, injuries, or damages, known or unknown, of whatsoever any kind and nature, which I might incur as a result of entering on to the RANGE and in using RANGE facilities or equipment and in engaging in or observing shooting and other activities at the RANGE.

I agree to assume all responsibility and liability for any act or acts, even negligent, reckless, or criminal act or omission to act, of my Guests at the RANGE. (I understand that "my Guests" includes any and all persons who enter on to the RANGE, use the RANGE facilities or engage in or observe shooting and other activities at the RANGE as a result of my express invitation, permission or consent). I agree that I will ensure that each of my Guests read and sign a "Release, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement." Guests also include any MINORS under guardianship of the undersigned (MINOR is defined as any person under the age of 18 on the date the activities on RANGE are to take place). Each MINOR participating in RANGE activities must be included in the GUARDIANSHIP section at the bottom of this document and is therefore also bound by “Release, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement.”

I agree to abide by Vault Arms’ Code of Conduct and to ensure my Guests do so as well. I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any and all claims I, my next of kin, heirs, guardians, representatives, assigns or any other person claiming under me completely and without reservation that I may have against Vault Arms, its agents, officers, members, employees, instructors, owners, volunteers, or representatives from any and all injuries or damages that I may sustain as a result of me entering on to the RANGE, using RANGE facilities or equipment, or engaging in or observing shooting range activities. Also, I, my next of kin, heirs, guardians, representatives, assigns or any other person claiming under me, forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue the Vault Arms, its agents, officers, members, employees, instructors, owners, volunteers, or representatives for any personal injury, death, disability, property damage, property theft or acts and/or omissions of whatsoever kind and nature including, but not limited to, those caused by its negligence or other acts including, but not limited to, those acts and/or omissions of other participants or persons at the RANGE.

I further acknowledge and agree that it is my understanding and intent that this Agreement, and any signed written amendments or modifications to it, shall remain in full force and effect from the date of execution and ever after shall be applicable to each and every occasion that I or my Guests enter on to the RANGE, use RANGE facilities or equipment or engage in or observe shooting and other activities at the RANGE. I further agree to accept financial responsibility for the repair of any EQUIPMENT that I rent, borrow, or use that is owned by Vault Arms in the event that damages were directly caused by MINE or my GUESTS’ inappropriate use of said EQUIPMENT.

I have carefully read this "Release, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement" and fully know its contents. I acknowledge that no other inducement, assurance or guarantee has been made to me in consideration of my signing this Agreement which I sign voluntarily and of my own free will. I further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by me and by an authorized agent of Vault Arms.
