2020 Racing Inc. DBA Team Cobras Release of Liability, Covenant Not to Sue and Indemnity Agreement
In response to requests from event organizers, 2020 Racing Inc., has implemented a Volunteer Liability Form to clarify coverage and risk. The intent is to make clear you are not covered by 2020 Racing's accident insurance or by workers' compensation for volunteer work. If you are injured while volunteering, you are responsible for your own medical expenses and assume the related risks. You waive claims arising from your volunteer work and association with this event and agree not to sue 2020 Racing Inc. and associated parties.
THIS RELEASE COVERS ALL FUTURE EVENTS AND PROGRAMS ASSOCIATED WITH 2020 Racing Inc., AND THE SPECIFIC EVENT BELOW.
Volunteers who sign this form may be covered under the USA Cycling event liability policy, subject to the policy's terms and exclusions. The carrier may defend volunteers against covered claims, but some claims are not covered (for example, intentional acts or professional liability). USA Cycling makes no guarantee which claims are covered; this notice is to inform volunteers that not all claims will be covered.
VOLUNTEER'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, WAIVER, AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK, AND AGREEMENT NOT TO SUE
In consideration of the organizer allowing me to participate in the above program or event, I agree to the following terms and conditions:
I acknowledge that by signing this document I am solely responsible for all injuries, losses, or damages that I may suffer or incur in connection with the program or event identified above or any future program or event associated with USA Cycling. I further agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and not to sue 2020 Racing Inc. or their agents, insurers, employees, volunteers, members, clubs, officials, sponsors, event directors, local associations, and affiliates (collectively "Releasees") for any injuries, losses, or damages that I may sustain. I understand I am giving up substantial legal rights. This is a legally binding contract covering all activities at the event, whether listed or not. I have read it carefully.
I acknowledge that cycling is an inherently dangerous sport and I fully realize the dangers of participation. I assume risks including, by way of example and not limitation, dangers from jumps; collisions with pedestrians, vehicles, riders, and objects; surface hazards; equipment failure; inadequate safety equipment; use of provided equipment; the Releasees' own negligence; the negligence of others; weather conditions; and the possibility of serious injury or death.
For myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, assignees, and successors ("Successors"), I hereby waive, release, discharge, hold harmless, and promise to indemnify and not to sue the Releasees and all sponsors, organizers, property owners, law enforcement agencies, public entities, and others connected with the program or event, from any and all rights and claims, including those arising from the Releasees' own negligence to the maximum extent permitted by law, for damages sustained in connection with my participation in, or travel to and from, the program or events.
I agree it is my responsibility to be familiar with the course, the Releasees' rules, and any special regulations for the program or events. I will participate so as to not endanger myself or others and accept responsibility for the condition of my equipment and any equipment I use. I certify I have no physical or medical condition that would endanger me or others or interfere with my ability to participate safely.
I agree these representations are contractually binding. If I or my Successors assert a claim contrary to this agreement, the claiming party will be liable for expenses, including legal fees, incurred by Releasees in defense. This contract may not be modified orally; a waiver of one provision does not waive others. I consent to release of my name and medical information to Releasees and their insurers if related to an injury or death arising from the program or event. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains binding.
If I cannot act for myself due to injury, I consent to first aid and other medical treatment and agree to pay the costs of such treatment.
I attest that I am eighteen (18) years of age or older or that my parent or legal guardian has executed this waiver below.
I am physically fit and voluntarily participate in the program or events.
