IN CONSIDERATION of being allowed to participate in any rowing activity, including scheduling, supervised club activities during the dates listed below, I, for myself, my representatives, assigns, heirs and next of kin:
1. ACKNOWLEDGE, agree, and represent that I understand the nature of Rowing Activities, both on water and land-based, and that I am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such Activity.
2. FULLY UNDERSTAND that: (a.) ROWING ACTIVITIES INVOLVE RISKS AND DANGERS of severe bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis, and death ("Risks"); (b.) these Risks and dangers may be caused by my actions, or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Activity, the condition in which the Activity takes place, or the negligence of the Release named below; (c.) there may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES, COSTS, AND DAMAGES I incur as a result of my participation in the Activity.
3. AGREE AND WARRANT that I will examine and inspect each Activity in which I participate as a participant in Miami Rowing & Watersports Center, Inc. programs and that, if I observe any condition that I consider unacceptably hazardous, I will notify the proper authority in charge of the Activity. I will only take part in the Activity once the situation has been corrected to my satisfaction.
4. At this moment, RELEASE, discharge, and covenant not to sue Miami Rowing & Watersports Center, Inc., their administrators, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, and employees, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises on which the Activity takes place, (each considered one of the Releases herein) from all liability, claims, demands, losses or damages on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the Release or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations; and I further agree that if, despite this release and waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement, I, or anyone on my behalf, claims any of the Releases, I WILL INDEMNIFY, SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS each of the Releases from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as a result of such claim, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
I have read this agreement, 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 and agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid, the balance, notwithstanding, shall continue in full force and effect.
