Activity Release Form - Waiver, Agreement, & Liability Release (Page 2 of 2) in pdf

an equine are to jump forward or sideways or run away from danger by trotting or galloping. Equines are also known to kick, buck, rear up, back

up quickly, spin around, strike, or bite. I know that equines can do any of these things without warning. I also understand that all equines, even

if they have no known history of hurting people or animals, are powerful and can be dangerous to people and other animals.

Further, I understand that riding, handling, or being near an equine can expose me to numerous hazards, which could include, for example: the

propensity of an equine to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm, or death to persons around them; the unpredictability of an equine’s

reaction to sounds, sudden movements, and unfamiliar objects, persons or other animals; certain hazards such as surface or subsurface condi-

tions on, near, or off The Property; and/or collisions with other equines, animals, or objects. I understand these risks and dangers inherent in

equine activities, and I agree to assume them. I also understand that these are just some of the risks, and I agree to assume others. I am not rely-

ing on The Chapel/Camp Carl to list all possible equine-related risks for me.

3. LIABILITY RELEASE: As consideration for being to enter The Property, to be near equines in connection with any The Chapel/Camp Carl ac-

tivities (regardless of who owns the equines), and/or to engage in any other activity involving horses/equines, whether or not under The Chapel/

Camp Carl’s supervision, I assume full responsibility for any and all bodily injuries or damages which I may sustain when engaging in these and

other activities. The term “damages, ” means, for example, medical expenses, losses incurred because of bodily injuries or property damages, and/

or personal property damages. I, for my heirs, administrators, personal representatives or assigns, release and discharge The Chapel/Camp Carl,

and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, assigns, affiliated persons, and others acting on their behalf of and from any and all

claims, demands, damages, actions, omissions, suits, or cause of action (present and future), whether the same by known or unknown, antici-

pated omissions, suits, or causes of action (present and future), whether the same by known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, resulting

from or arising out of my bodily injury or damage that may be sustained, or property damage which may occur as a result of being on The Prop-

erty, handling horses, being near horses, and/or engaging in any other activity involving horses, whether or not under The Chapel/Camp Carl’s

supervision (except if such injury or damage is caused by The Chapel/Camp Carl’s gross negligence or wanton willful misconduct).

WARNING Under the Ohio Equine Activity Liability Act, (Ohio Revised Code Chapter 2305.321) an equine professional is not liable for an

injury to or the death of a participant in an equine activity resulting from an inherent risk of the equine activity.

IT IS MUTUALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT THE LIABILITY RELEASE SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL CONSTITUTE A

WAIVER OF LIABILITY BEYOND THE PROVISIONS OF THE OHIO EQUINE ACTIVITY LIABILITY ACT. BY SIGNING THIS AGREE-

MENT AND LIABILITY RELEASE, I AGREE NOT TO BRING ANY CLAIM OR SUIT AGAINST THE CHAPEL/CAMP CARL, AND ITS

OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, ASSIGNS, AFFILIATED PERSONS, AND OTHERS ACTING

ON THEIR BEHALF ON THE BASIS OF ANY EXCEPTION IN THAT LAW. IN PARTICULAR, I WILL NOT BRING CLAIM OR SUIT

AGAINST THE CHAPEL/CAMP CARL, AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, ASSIGNS, AF-

FILIATED PERSONS, AND OTHERS ACTING ON THEIR BEHALF FOR: (1) FAULTY TACK OR EQUIPMENT: (2) FAILURE TO MAKE

REASONABLE AND PRUDENT EFFORTS TO DETERMINE AN EQUINE ACTIVITY PARTICIPANT’S ABILITY TO SAFELY MANAGE

AN EQUINE; (3) A DANGEROUS LATENT CONDITION ON, NEAR, OR OFF THE PROPERTY; OR (4) ANY ACT OR OMISSION THAT

MAY CONSTITUTE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE BY THE CHAPEL/CAMP CARL OR AFFILIATED PERSONS OR ENTITIES (EXCEPT

FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WANTON AND WILLFUL MISCONDUCT).

It is my intention to release and hold harmless The Chapel/Camp Carl and the above-described persons and entities associated with The Chapel/

Camp Carl to the fullest extent allowed under the law.

4. INDEMNIFICATION. I also agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Chapel/Camp Carl and its officers, directors, employees, agents,

representatives, assigns, affiliated persons and others acting on their behalf against all damages sustained or suffered by any persons who are not

parties to this Agreement that I may cause while this Waiver, Release of Liability and Indemnity Agreement is in effect. The indemnification shall

also include reimbursement of The Chapel/Camp Carl’s attorney fees and costs.

5. HELMETS/HEADGEAR. I agree to be fully responsible for my own safety at all times. The Chapel/Camp Carl has suggested that I wear

properly fitted and secured ASTM-standard/SEI-certified equestrian protective headgear when riding or near equines. All riders under age 18

are required by The Chapel/Camp Carl to wear a helmet when participating in riding activities at Camp Carl. Camp Carl will provide helmets

for all riders who wish to use them. I am not relying on The Chapel/Camp Carl to check any helmet or strap that I may wear, or to monitor my

compliance with this suggestion at any time. I am over 18 years old and I wish to waive wearing a helmet/headgear.  Initials _______

6. LAW/BINDING EFFECTS/FEES. Ohio law governs this Waiver, Agreement, and Liability Release. I agree that this document will be enforced

to the greatest permitted by Ohio law. If any clause should conflict with Ohio law, only that clause will be null and void but the remainder will

stay in full force and effect. Should I file a lawsuit in breach of this Waiver, Agreement, and Liability Release, I agree to pay the attorney fees

Chapel/Camp Carl.
