In consideration of the services of WCIMVCSC, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to
as "MVCSC"), I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge MVCSC, on behalf of myself, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows: 1. I acknowledge that my
participation in outdoor activities such as camping, swimming, boating, challenge course events, group initiatives, and traveling to and from an activity entails known and unanticipated risks which could result in sickness,
exposure to infectious/communicable disease, bodily injury, paralysis, death, emotional injury, personal injury, property damage, damage to myself or third parties, and financial damage. I understand that such risks simply
cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. Furthermore, MVCSC staff and faculty have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a
participant's fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather, the elements, or the terrain. They may give inadequate warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction. 2. I expressly agree
and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. 3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge,
and agree to indemnify and hold harmless MVCSC from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, my use of MVCSC's equipment, or my use of
MVCSC’s facilities or property, including any such Claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of MVCSC. 4. Should MVCSC or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this
agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs. 5. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear
the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I have no medical or physical conditions which could interfere with my safety in this activity, or else I am willing to assume -- and bear the costs of -- all risks
that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition. 6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against MVCSC, I agree to do so solely in the state of Illinois, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state
shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
7. No By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against
MVCSC on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I understand itineraries are subject to daily change due to circumstances. Activities may be postponed or canceled at the last minute. I have had
sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.
