To the extent permitted under applicable law, this Release is intended to release and discharge the Released Parties from any and all losses, damages, expenses, actions, claims and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, including those allegedly arising from or related to the negligence of, or the breach of any duties which may be owed by the Released Parties.

B. I ASSUME THE RISK OF INJURIES, ILLNESSES, OR DEATH ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF THE FACILITY, THE PARTICIPATION IN/OBSERVATION OF ANY EVENTS, OR THE ENGAGEMENT IN/OBSERVATION OF ANY ACTIVITIES: I acknowledge that participation/engagement in or observation of any Event or Activity at the Facility or as may otherwise involve the Released Parties is voluntary and that significant elements of risk are associated with such. Accordingly, I understand and acknowledge that certain risks cannot be eliminated due to the nature of the Events and Activities, and that these risks may cause serious injury, illness, permanent disability, trauma, or death. I understand and acknowledge that no amount of care, caution, instruction or expertise can eliminate these risks and that participating/engaging in or observing any Events or Activities at the Facility or as may otherwise involve the Released Parties involve certain risks, inherent and otherwise, regardless of whether I follow the safety instructions or recommendations of the Released Parties. To the extent permitted under applicable law, I agree to assume all risks associated with participating/engaging in or observing any Events or Activities at the Facility or as may otherwise involve the Released Parties. These risks and dangers include, but are not limited to: falling and landing/striking padded or unpadded surfaces, equipment failures of any kind, being injured by falling objects or participants, being injured by the actions or inactions of other participants/spectators regardless of whether they are following the safety instructions or recommendations of the Released Parties, physical injury as a result of engaging in physical activity or as a result of movements associated with climbing holds (such as “spinning”), and the contraction of communicable illness, such as viruses (including but not limited to, coronavirus/COVID-19), bacteria, and all other infectious pathogens and disease vectors. I recognize that the foregoing list are examples of assumed risks, but that I am also assuming risks not specifically listed above by participating/engaging in or observing any Events or Activities at the Facility or as may otherwise involve the Released Parties. C. I AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND DEFEND THE RELEASED PARTIES: To the extent permitted under applicable law, I further agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Released Parties from and against any and all loss, damage, liability, claim and expense, including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by any of the Released Parties as a result of my participation/engagement in or observation of any Events or Activities at the Facility or as may otherwise involve the Released Parties, including any loss, damage, liability, claim, and expense allegedly arising out of the Released Parties’ own negligence. I understand that this Section means I may have to reimburse the Released Parties for any losses, damages, liabilities, claims, costs, attorneys’ fees, or expenses sustained by the Released Parties as a result of my participation/engagement in or observation of any Events or Activities at the Facility or as may otherwise involve the Released Parties, including that if, despite this Release, I or anyone acting on my behalf makes a claim against any of the Released Parties I may be required to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties against/from attorney fees, loses, liability, damages, and/or expenses incurred as a result of such claim. By signing on behalf of a minor child or children as named herein (collectively, “minor”), I represent that I am that minor’s parent or legal guardian, that I am authorized to sign this Release on behalf of the minor, and agree that to the extent permitted under applicable law that I will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties against any claims arising from the minor’s participation/engagement in or observation of Events or Activities at the Facility or as may otherwise involve the Released Parties as described in this Release.

SEVERABILITY, CHOICE OF LAW, AND SCOPE OF RELEASE: I hereby expressly agree and acknowledge that (1) this Release shall be governed, interpreted, and enforced according to the laws of the State of Michigan, (2) if any portion of this Release is held invalid, the balance of the Release shall nonetheless continue in full legal force and effect, and (3) that this Release shall bind my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, as well as any other party asserting a Claim on my behalf or on behalf of my estate. I understand that this Release will apply every time I participate/engage in or observe any Events or Activities at the Facility or as may otherwise involve the Released Parties. F. FACILITY & BOULDERING ORIENTATION: By signing this Release, I certify that I have watched the Facility & Bouldering Orientation Video (“Orientation Video”) upon my first visit to the gym, understand its contents and the inherent risks associated with climbing and being in the Facility, and agree to ask any questions before participating/engaging in or observing any Events or Activities.
If this Release is signed by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of a minor, I as the parent or legal guardian further acknowledge that it is my responsibility to watch the Orientation Video with the minor on whose behalf I am signing this Release, ask any questions that I and/or the minor on whose behalf I am signing this Release may have before executing this Release, and that after executing this Release, I will continue to ask any questions that I and/or the minor on whose behalf I am signing this Release may have at any time while engaging in Activities at the Facility.
BOULDERING WARNING: Bouldering involves increased risks because YOU WILL FALL, and all falls are ground falls which could result in injury or death.
G. AUTO BELAY, TOP-ROPE AND LEAD CLIMBING CERTIFICATION: By signing this Release, I certify that I will receive the appropriate auto belay and/or toprope and/or lead climbing certification by a staff member, confirm to that staff member that I understand the appropriate usage and risks associated with that form of climbing and ask any questions I may have before participating in any Events and/or Activities. AUTO BELAY WARNING: The most common error with auto belay use is forgetting to clip in. If you do not clip in, you will fall to the ground which may result in injury or death. Always do your safety checks to ensure you are clipped in.
