GENERAL RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER
Please read carefully before accepting both sections
In consideration for the World Firefighters Games 08 Ltd (the "Host") and Merseyside Fire & Rescue Authority (the “Organiser”) granting me permission to participate in the 2008 World Firefighters Games (the "Games") conducted by the Organiser and the Host in and around Merseyside, United Kingdom, from March 24th through September 02nd, 2008, I the undersigned will agree:
a) that prior to participating in any event in the Games, I will inspect the facilities and equipment to be used by me during that event. If I believe there is a safety issue with either the equipment or the facilities, I will bring this matter to the immediate attention of the nearest official. If the safety issue is not resolved to my satisfaction, I will remove myself from participation in the event;
b) that I understand that I may be engaging in activities that involve risks of serious injury, including permanent disability and/or death; severe social and/or economic losses which might not only occur from my actions or omissions, but also from the negligent or intentional actions or omissions of others, from the rules of play and their application, from the condition of the premises and/or equipment, and from other sources known or unknown. I knowingly and freely assume all risks, both known and unknown, and accept any and all responsibility for my safety and welfare;
c) to accept sole responsibility for any health and medical expenses from any physical or mental problem existing or occurring during the Games or resulting from any type of injury incurred by me during the Games. While the Host may provide to participants very limited first aid for an injury occurring during the participating event, I am solely responsible for the health and medical expenses as stated above;
d) To waive any right of confidentiality and agree to a complete release to Organiser and Host of all medical records, of any type. I will also cooperate in any way necessary, including providing and signing additional documents, in order for the Organiser or Host to obtain my medical records;
d) to fully release, discharge and hold harmless the Organiser, the Host, and all other persons and entities, including but not limited to, sponsors, agencies, corporations, associates, staff, volunteers, providers of first aid and independent contractors, from any and all claims, actions, liabilities and causes of action, whether involving intentional actions or omissions which I may now have or which may accrue as a result of my voluntary participation in any of the sporting or non-sporting activities in connection with the Games, to the full extent that the law allows;
e) To indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Organiser, the Host, and all other persons and entities associated in anyway with the Games for any liability, demand, judgment, claim or suit, including reasonable costs and legal fees, arising out of or in connection with my acts or omissions or allegations thereof as a participant in any of the sporting or non-sporting activities related to or in connection with the Games;
f) This "GENERAL RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER" is governed by the laws of the United Kingdom.
