Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risk for MALT Donor Events
Participation in Marin Agricultural Land Trust (“MALT”) sponsored activities—including hiking, walking, and touring ranches and farms—involves inherent risks. These risks include but are not limited to those caused by terrain, natural hazards, animal husbandry, ranching, wildlife, facilities, temperature, weather, condition of equipment, vehicles, food or beverages, other people, and distance from medical services.
By attending a MALT-sponsored activity, you acknowledge and assume these risks and release, discharge, agree not to sue, and hold harmless the Released Parties (defined below) for any injury, illness, loss, loss of life, or damage to or loss of property that you may suffer, and any and all other claims, demands, actions, or suits arising as a result of, or in connection with, the activity (including but not limited to the use of property or equipment owned or provided by the Released Parties; travel in vehicles owned, provided, or operated by the Released Parties; the provision of first aid or other emergency medical care; and travel to or from the activity) (collectively, “Claims”), even if caused by the sole negligence of any of the Released Parties or anyone else.
You understand that the Released Parties may not carry insurance to cover participants in the activity.
In addition, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MALT and the Released Parties from any Claim or action filed by any third party due to your actions related to the activity.
The “Released Parties” include MALT; any activity sponsors; the property owner; and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents, past, present, or future.
This waiver and indemnification is binding on your heirs, personal representatives, and successors, and will benefit the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of the Released Parties.
