Please read carefully before signing. This is a legally binding waiver and release of liability.
Understanding the Risks
I understand and accept that joining any outdoor adventure activity with 33North involves certain risks. These activities include, but are not limited to, hiking, trekking, camping, rock climbing, snowshoeing, and other mountain-related activities. I am aware that these risks can include:
- Nature Hazards: Such as sudden weather changes, avalanches, rockfalls, and rough terrain.
- Physical Strain: Activities that involve a lot of physical effort, like hiking in tough areas, which may lead to exhaustion or injury.
- Animal Encounters: The possibility of encountering wild animals or insects that could be dangerous.
- Equipment Issues: Gear such as ropes, tents, or other equipment might not always work perfectly.
- Human Error: Accidents caused by myself, other participants, or even third parties.
I acknowledge that 33North takes steps to ensure safety, but it’s impossible to remove all risks, and I voluntarily accept all risks involved in participating in these activities.
Release of Responsibility
In exchange for being allowed to participate in the adventure tour organized by 33North, I agree to the following:
- No Responsibility for Accidents: I release and agree not to hold 33North, its owners, employees, guides, or anyone associated with them, responsible for any injury, illness, death, or property damage that happens during or as a result of the trip. This applies even if it’s caused by negligence or any other reason.
- I Won't Sue: Neither I, nor my family members, nor anyone who might inherit from me, will make a claim or take legal action against 33North for any harm or loss that happens on the trip.
- I Accept Responsibility: I fully accept all risks and will take care of any medical costs or other expenses if I am injured or experience loss while participating.
- I'm Fit to Participate: I confirm that I am physically and mentally fit to take part in the activities and that I don’t have any medical conditions that could put me or others in danger.
Indemnification
I agree to protect and defend 33North if any claims or legal actions are brought against them because of something I do during the trip.
