- All trip participants agree to the Release and Waiver of Liability and Indemnity Agreement.
- The trip "leader" is a volunteer and not an actual leader (i.e. not liable for the whole group). Think of it as hiking with a group of friends.
- Unless stated otherwise on the trip description, carpools will form at Parking & Transportation Service (P&TS) lot at Stanford University. See Directions to P&TS page for the address, maps and driving directions.
- Carpool passengers, please reimburse your driver 30 cents per mile. (For example, a 100 mile trip would cost $30, divided amongst all the members of a carpool.) If you are switching the car for the return trip, reimburse each driver separately.
- For all hiking trips, wear boots or sturdy shoes, and bring lunch, liquid, sweater, jacket and some money.
- Unless stated otherwise on the trip description, hiking trips are cancelled in the event of rain (check with the trip leader).
I hereby acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in the activities of the Outing Club, hereinafter referred to as "Activities". I will be personally responsible for my own safety during these Activities and assume all risks and accept full and complete responsibility for any and all damages and personal injury of any kind, including death.
I am aware that the Activities are hazardous, involving risk of serious bodily injury, death, or property damage and I am voluntarily participating in these Activities with knowledge of the risks. I expressly assume the risk of these dangers including, but not limited to, slips, falls, objects or persons falling on persons, equipment failure, injury from pointed equipment, high altitude sickness and/or injury, improperly administered first aid, lightning strikes, hypothermia, and/or drowning.
As lawful consideration for being permitted by the group engaging in these Activities or any of its officers, agents, servants, volunteers, leaders, activity participants, or employees, herein referred to as Releasees, to participate in these Activities and/or use their equipment, the undersigned does for him/herself, his/her heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, guardians, distributees, and assigns, collectively referred to as Releasors, hereby release, waive, discharge, and relinquish any action or causes of action for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death which may hereafter arise from the Activities or any pursuit incidental thereto wherever or however said pursuit may occur and for any period said Activities and pursuits may continue.
The undersigned further agrees that under no circumstances will Releasors prosecute or present any claim against Releasees for any causes of action, for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death, whether the same shall arise by the negligence or non-intentional conduct of any of said Releasees from the Activities or any pursuit incidental thereto.
The undersigned and the remaining Releasors hereby agree to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Releasees and each of them from any loss, liability, damage or cost (including attorney fees) which Releasees may incur as a result of injury, death, or property damage to the undersigned, or from suit from such personal injury, death, and/or property damage to the undersigned.
This Agreement is intended to be as broad as is permissible under the law of the State of California and this Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of California. If any portion of this Agreement is invalid and/or is declared to be invalid by a Court of Law, the balance of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
The undersigned has read and voluntarily signs the release and waiver of liability and indemnity Agreement and further agrees that no oral representations, statements, or inducements apart from the foregoing written Agreement have been made. The undersigned acknowledges that he/she has read the foregoing paragraphs and is completely aware of the potential dangers incident to engaging in the Activities, and is fully aware of the legal consequences of signing the within instrument.
