Manhattan West Woof Fest Assumption of Risk, Release of Liability, and Hold Harmless Agreement Description of Event: 2022 Free Interactive Canine Event at Manhattan West in NYC I, the undersigned (the “Participant”) hereby voluntarily request to participate in the event identified above (hereinafter the “Event”). - I am familiar with the concept of an interactive event for canines, specifically the “Manhattan West Woof Fest,” and the risks involved, which include interaction with my canine, other owners and their canines, and interactive activations created specifically for dogs. I understand that the Event requires concentrated focus and awareness of the environment around my canine and I, and caution at all times. I understand that I must exercise good judgment at all times in order for my canine and I to remain safe, including the responsibility for supervising my dog and determining whether or not this is an appropriate activity. Despite careful and proper preparation, there are still risks associated with the Event including but not limited to the following:
- The propensity of any dog to behave in dangerous ways that may result in injury
- The inexperience, negligence, or irresponsibility of a dog owner/handler
- The inability to predict a dog’s reaction to movement, sounds, persons, or other animals
- Actions by the dog due to fright, anger, stress, or insect bites
- Natural reactions by the dog such as jumping, pulling, resisting, and biting
- Interaction with the artwork
- All other circumstances inherent to dogs and/or outdoor activities
- I understand and acknowledge that participation in the Event may involve risk of serious injury or death to me and/or my dog, including injuries which may result not only from my own actions, inactions, or negligence, but also from the actions, inactions, or negligence of my dog and/or others, the condition of the facilities, equipment, or areas where the Event is conducted, and/or the physical nature of the Event. Should I attempt to break up a dog fight or restrain a dog, including but not limited to my dog, I may be severely mauled and/or attacked by my or other dogs. I agree that all activities undertaken at the Event are conducted at my own risk (and the risk of my dog).
