Course Participant Liability Waiver & Agreement

I wish to participate in a Santa Cruz Permaculture (“SCP”) course (the “Course”). By signing below, I, the Course Participant (or the Course Participant’s legal guardian, on the Course Participant’s behalf) agree that:

Policies and Safety Rules.
For my safety and that of others, I will comply with SCP’s Course policies and safety rules and its other directions for all Course activities.

Awareness and Assumption of Risk.
I understand that my participation in the Course has inherent risks that may arise from SCP’s operations, my own actions or inactions, or the actions or inactions of SCP, its director, instructors, volunteers, and others present at the Course. These risks may include, but are not limited to, dangers and conditions inherent to Course activities and course property, including bees, insects, poison oak, dust, uneven terrain, allergens, and hand tools. I assume full responsibility for any and all risks of bodily injury, death or property damage caused by or arising directly or indirectly from my presence at Course sites or participation in SCP activities and Courses, regardless of the cause.

Waiver and Release of Claims.
I waive and release any and all claims against the owner or owners of premises on which the Course takes place (collectively, the “Landowner”), SCP, other tenants of Landowner’s premises, and SCP’s, Landowner’s, and other tenants’ directors, employees, volunteers, and affiliates (collectively, the “Released Parties”), for any liability, loss, damages, claims, expenses and attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Liabilities”) resulting from death, or injury to my person or property, caused by or arising directly or indirectly from my presence at the Course, or participation in SCP activities or Courses, regardless of the cause and even if caused by negligence, whether passive or active. I agree not to sue any of the Released Parties on the basis of these waived and released claims. I waive the protections of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides that a general release does not extend to certain claims not known to me at the time I signed this waiver and release. I understand that SCP would not permit my participation without my agreeing to these waivers and releases.

Medical Care Consent and Waiver.
I authorize SCP to provide to me first aid and, through medical personnel of its choice, medical assistance, transportation, and emergency medical services. This consent does not impose a duty upon SCP to provide such assistance, transportation, or services. In addition, I waive and release any claims against the Released Parties arising out of any first aid, treatment or medical service, including the lack or timing of such, made in connection with my participation in the Course.

Publicity.
I consent to the unrestricted use in any form of any photographs, interviews, film, videotapes, other visual or auditory recordings, in any other medium, including the Internet, of me that the Released Parties or others may create in connection with my participation in the Course. I waive my right to inspect or approve the finished product and acknowledge that I am not entitled to any compensation for creation or use of the finished product.

Indemnification.
I will defend, indemnify, and hold the Released Parties harmless from and against any and all Liabilities, including without limitation, Liabilities arising from any injury, property damage, or death that may be suffered by me or any person in relationship with me or any other third party, which may arise directly or indirectly from my participation in the Course, except and only to the extent the liability is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Released Party.
