Waiver and Release of Liability

This form must be read and signed before participating in any activities.

In consideration of my involvement in activities at the property located at 313 Clancy Road, Braintree, VT 05060, including but not limited to treehouse use, zipline activities, climbing, and related recreational activities, I acknowledge, understand, and agree that:

1. Risk of Injury

I risk bodily injury, including but not limited to paralysis, dismemberment, disability, and death. These risks exist along with the risk of damage to or loss of property.

2. Assumption of Risk

I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the releasees or others.

3. Participant Conduct

I agree to comply with all stated and customary rules for participation. If I observe any unusual or unnecessary hazard during my presence or participation, I will immediately bring it to the attention of the nearest site manager, owner, or representative.

4. Release of Liability

I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and successors, hereby release, hold harmless, and promise not to sue the property owners, hosts, volunteers, staff, sponsors, and/or agents with respect to any and all injury and/or loss arising from my participation, whether caused by the negligence of the releasees or otherwise, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, to the fullest extent permitted by Vermont law.

5. Food and Allergens

Food, including dinner and breakfast, may be offered on a donation-only basis. Such food is not prepared in a licensed facility and may contain allergens or substances that could cause reactions. I voluntarily assume all risks associated with consuming such food.

6. Non-Commercial Food Service

Meals and refreshments, when offered, are shared informally among guests and hosts and do not constitute a commercial restaurant, café, or catering service.

7. Governing Law

This agreement shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Vermont. Any disputes shall be resolved exclusively in Vermont courts.

8. Severability

If any provision of this agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Acknowledgment

I have read this Waiver and Release of Liability in full, understand its terms, acknowledge that I am giving up substantial legal rights by signing it, and do so freely and voluntarily without inducement.

This certifies that I, as the parent/guardian with legal responsibility for the minor participant, consent to and agree to their release as provided above. I also release and indemnify the releasees from any and all liability related to my minor child’s involvement, even if arising from negligence of the releasees, to the fullest extent permitted by Vermont law.
