PARTICIPATION, WAIVER, AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY FORM

 

Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risk

​

The Westside Newcomers Club is a non-profit social group whose main goal is to facilitate and coordinate social events that are centered around activities of shared interest for the fun and enjoyment of the members. The organizer and assistant organizers of the group make no claims that they are experts in the programs/activities that they coordinate. Every member who participates in any Club program must evaluate their own skill level and fitness level to determine if they can safely participate and do so solely at their own risk. By signing up for any activity, you represent that you are physically fit to attend and participate in that event and you accept full responsibility for your own health (including any pre-existing conditions), actions, and well-being during any and all activities.

By joining this group, and in exchange for the right to participate in this group's programs/activities, you voluntarily consent to accept and assume all risks associated with your participation. Participation is at your own risk. You expressly release the organization, including the program/activity organizers and leaders from any liability for accidents or incidents which may directly or indirectly arise from your participation.

Your presence constitutes your release, permission, and consent to be photographed and/or recorded on any media. Pictures and/or recordings of you may appear in future projects, and your presence grants the right to use your likeness without any compensation whatsoever in perpetuity.
