In consideration of my participation in the Activity hosted by Laguna Canyon Foundation (“LCF”), and intending to be legally bound, I, (“Participant”) acknowledge, understand and agree that:

Acknowledgment of Risk
There are risks, inherent or otherwise, in attending or participating in the Activity and being present at or using any associated facilities or sites (“Risks”). I have full knowledge and understanding of the Risks associated with the Activity, which may include, but are in no way limited to: personal injuries, illness (including exposure to and infection with viruses such as COVID-19 or bacteria), or possibly death or other serious harm to me or others.

I understand that I will be solely responsible for any loss or damage, including personal injury, property damage, illness, death or other harm, sustained in connection with or in any way related to my or any dependent children’s attendance at or participation in the Activity. While these terms and conditions are intended to protect my health and safety, I understand there are risks, and I am not depending on any assurances from LCF regarding those risks or the safety of the activity.

In consideration of my or any dependent children’s attendance at or participation in the Activity, I voluntarily agree and, on behalf of myself and my family members, my heirs, next of kin, representatives, executors, administrators, and assigns (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), HEREBY DO RELEASE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE, LCF, its officers, directors, employees, volunteers, agents, representatives, insurers and affiliates (collectively, “Released Parties”) from any causes of action, claims, or demands, damages, losses, or liabilities (including, without limitation, any costs and attorneys’ fees) of any nature whatsoever including claims of ordinary negligence, (“Claims”), which the Releasing Parties may have now or in the future against Released Parties on account of personal injury (including illness from communicable diseases such as COVID-19), property damage, death or accidents of any kind, arising out of or in any way related to my or any dependent children’s attendance at or participation in the Activity. I acknowledge and agree that this agreement is intended to be a general release of and bar to all Claims arising out of or attributable to the Activity, including those unknown to me, or which I do not suspect to exist at this time. Releasing Parties have been made aware of, and understand, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

Releasing Parties hereby expressly, knowingly and intentionally waive, on behalf or myself and/or any dependent children, any and all rights, benefits, and protections of California Civil Code Section 1542 and of any other state or federal statute or common law principle limiting the scope of a general release.

In consideration of my or any dependent children’s attendance at or participation in the Activity, I agree, on behalf of myself and the Releasing Parties, to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS the Released Parties from any and all Claims, to the fullest extent of the law, arising out of or in any way related to my or any dependent children’s presence at or participation in the Activity.
