Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release


I agree, as a registrant for a field trip conducted or arranged by Colorado Field Ornithologists, a Colorado non-profit corporation, expressly acknowledges that he or she is aware that this field trip involves certain risks and dangers that include, but are not limited to, the hazards of traveling in wilderness areas, the possibility that an accident or illness could occur in remote places without access to immediate or timely medical treatment or facilities, the risk of diseases, injuries, forces of nature, and travel by various means. With knowledge of the foregoing, I assume all of such risks. Moreover, I am in good health and am able to participate in such trip and the activities related thereto, except as otherwise disclosed in writing on my registration form

In consideration of, and as part payment for the right to participate in such trip and/or in other activities conducted or arranged by Colorado Field Ornithologists, I have and do hereby waive, release, and hold harmless Colorado Field Ornithologists, its agents, tour leaders, officers, directors, and any contractors or sub-contractors in connection with such trip from any and all liability, actions, causes of actions, debts, claims, damages, costs, losses, disputes, and liens whatsoever on account of, or in any way arising out of personal injury, loss of life, loss or damage to property, illness, and any consequences thereof, directly or indirectly, resulting from, incident to, in connection with, or arising out of the trip taken by registrant. The terms hereof shall serve as an assumption of risk, waiver, release, and indemnity for myself, my heirs, executors and administrators, and for all members of my family, including any minors accompanying me on such trip.

I have read and accept the above Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Release, which contains the entire and final agreement related to the subject matter hereof. The terms of this document are contractual and not mere recitals. This instrument shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Colorado.
