Accident Waiver and Release of Liability
I acknowledge by signing this document that I am assuming risks, and agreeing to indemnify, not to sue and to release from liability the organizer of this event, Spoke Life Cycle, LLC, and its members and employees, and all volunteers, promotors, sponsors and affiliates (Collectively “Releasees”), and that I am giving up substantial legal rights. This Accident Waiver and Release of Liability is a contract with legal and binding consequences and it applies to all activities entered at the event. I have read it carefully before signing, and I understand what it means and what I am agreeing to by signing.
I acknowledge that cycling is an inherently dangerous sport and fully realize the dangers of participating in this event, whether as a rider, official, volunteer or otherwise, and fully assume the risks associated with such participation including, by way of example, and not limitation: dangers associated with natural jumps; the dangers of collision with pedestrians, vehicles, other riders, and fixed or moving objects; the dangers arising from surface hazards, including pot holes, equipment failure, inadequate safety equipment, use of equipment or materials provided by the event organizer and others, the Releasees’ own negligence, the negligence of others and weather conditions; and the possibility of serious physical and/or mental trauma or injury, or death associated with the event. For myself, and for my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, assignees, and successors in interest, I hereby waive, release, discharge, hold harmless, and promise to indemnify and not to sue the Releasees and, public entities, special districts and properties that are in any manner connected with this event, and their respective agents, officials, and employees through which the event will be held, (the foregoing are also collectively deemed to be Releasees), from any and all rights and claims including claims arising from the Releasees’ own negligence, which I have or which may hereafter accrue to me and from any and all damages which may be sustained by me directly or indirectly in connections with, or arising out of, this event. I agree it is my sole responsibility to be familiar with the event course and agenda, the Releasees’ rules, and any special regulations for the event and agree to comply with all such rules and regulations. I understand and agree that situations may arise during the event which may be beyond the control of the Releasees. I accept responsibility for the condition and adequacy of my equipment, any equipment provided for my use, and my conduct in connection with this event. I will wear a helmet that can protect against serious head injury, and assume all responsibility and liability for the selection of such a helmet. I have no physical or medical condition which would endanger myself or others if I participate in this event, or would interfere with my ability to safely participate in this event.
I agree, for myself and my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, assignees and successors in interest, that the above representation are contractually binding, and are not mere recitals, and that should I or my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, assignees and successors in interest assert a claim contrary to what I have agreed to in this contract, the claiming party shall be liable for the expenses (including legal fees) incurred by the Releasees in defending the claims. This contract may not be modified orally, and a waiver or modification of any provision shall not be construed as a waiver or modification of any other provision herein or as a consent to any subsequent waiver or modification.
I hereby certify that I have read this document, and I understand its content.
