The activities are expected to be conducted outside and thus are subject to exposure to extreme temperatures and to the elements of nature, including insects, reptiles and other bites; plant and other allergies; dehydration, heat, cold and other discomforts and injuries, including the sun which can cause damage to the skin including cancer. Other risks not mentioned above may be encountered during the activities. I further acknowledge that the participant is participating in the activities at participant’s own risk and that the participant is in good health and is able mentally and physically to fully participate in the activities described above.

In consideration for the opportunity to participate in the activities described above, the participant (or authorized parents/guardians of the participant) acknowledges and accepts the inherent risks of injury to the participant which may be sustained directly or indirectly from or in any way connected with the activities, as well as all claims arising directly or indirectly from or in any way connected with the activities occurring as a result of any defects in the equipment used in the activities which prevent the equipment from functioning for its intended purpose as well as transportation to and from the activities. The participant (or authorized parents/guardians of the participant) accepts personal financial responsibility for any injury or other loss sustained during the activities or during transportation to and from the activities, as well as for the cost of evacuation and any medical treatment rendered to the participant that is authorized by WOC, its Trustees, officers, employees, volunteers, or any other representatives or agents, successors and assigns (collectively referred to as “WOC”). Further, the participant (or authorized parents/guardians of the participant) releases and promises to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (agreeing to make no claim, and not to sue) WOC from any and all claims, losses, actions, causes of action, demands, damages, costs, and expenses of any type whatsoever, including, but not limited to, injury, sickness, or death which may be sustained by the participant arising directly or indirectly out of the described activities or transportation to and from the activities, and the use of WOC’s premises or equipment, whether such injury arises out of the negligence of the participant, or otherwise.

If a dispute over this agreement or any claim for damages arises, the participant (or authorized parents/guardians of the participant) agrees to resolve the matter through a mutually acceptable alternative dispute resolution process. If the participant (or authorized parents/guardians of the participant) and WOC cannot agree upon such a process, the dispute will be submitted to a three-member arbitration panel in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, for resolution in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. This agreement will be governed by the laws of the state of Tennessee. The participant (or authorized parents/guardians of the participant) agrees to pay all costs and attorney’s fees incurred by WOC if a court or arbitration panel determines that WOC is not responsible for the injury or loss to the participant or if the court or arbitration panel determines that WOC is indemnified from the injury or loss claim pursuant to the terms of this agreement. If any portion of this agreement is found by a court or other appropriate authority to be invalid, the remainder of the agreement nevertheless will be in full force and effect. This agreement may not be amended except by written instrument signed by all parties.

The participant (or authorized parents/guardians of the participant) has read, understands, and accepts the terms and conditions stated herein and, if signed by the authorized parents/guardians, acknowledges that they are signing individually as well as for the minor child. The participant (or authorized parents/guardians of the participant) agrees that this agreement shall, to the fullest extent allowed by law, be binding upon their respective heirs, assigns, personal representatives and all members of the participant’s (and authorized parents’/guardians’) family.
