NEW
ENGLAND NORDIC SKI ASSOCIATION
WAIVER
AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
In consideration for the rights and
privileges associated with membership in the New England Nordic Ski
Association, I acknowledge and agree to be bound by the following:
1. Identification of Risks. I
understand that participation in any skiing activity, including but not limited
to, preparation for, participation in, and coaching of activities in
cross-country ski competitions and clinics, involve risk of serious injury,
including permanent disability, death and other losses, due to inactions or
negligence of myself or
others.
2. Assumption of the Risk. I agree that
I am responsible for my safety while participating in activities associated with
NENSA, and that such responsibility includes participation only a) when I am
both physically and psychologically prepared to participate safely, b) after
fully familiarizing myself with the venue before beginning the activity, and c)
while using the equipment of a type and condition reasonably necessary to
safely participate. I assume all risk connected with responsibility for any
injury or loss connected with my participation.
3. Waiver. Aware of the risks and
willing to assume them, I hereby release and agree to hold harmless the New
England Nordic Ski Association (NENSA), its officers, directors, employees,
agents, coaches, trainers, doctors, officials, volunteers, affiliates, event
organizers, sponsors, owners of property and trails used by me (Released
Parties) from loss, injury, or death to myself or to any other person, or other
damage to person or property resulting
from my participation in events and competition and any related
activities including, without limitation activities in connection with
sponsorship, organization or execution of any event and travel to and from such
event, whether I may participate as an athlete, coach, volunteer, spectator, or
in any other manner associated with NENSA. This release is intended as a waiver
of any claim I may have whether based upon negligence, breach of warranty,
contract or other legal theory, against
any of the above Released Parties, accepting myself the full responsibility for
any such loss, injury, death or damage
which may result. I intend for this release to also apply to my relatives,
personal representatives, heirs, beneficiaries, next of kin, and assigns. If
any part of this agreement is determined to be unenforceable, all other parts
shall be given full force and effect. This waiver does not release acts of
gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct of any party.
4. Insurance. I currently have, and
agree to maintain throughout the time that I train and compete, valid and
sufficient medical and accident insurance. I understand that this is my sole
responsibility and release all persons and entities from providing this
coverage for me.
5. Image. I grant permission to NENSA
to use my name, and any photograph, video, image, results or record of me from
any NENSA event for all
purposes NENSA may choose.
