Acknowledgement of RiskBy engaging the services of Fit 4 Adventure, LLC, an adventure travel and tour operator (hereinafter referred to as F4A), I agree that I am bound to the following terms and conditions:
1. Acknowledgement of Risk. I acknowledge that travel in general and adventure travel specifically has inherent risks. My participation in this F4A trip/tour is purely voluntary and I elect to participate despite the risks, including forces of nature, terrorism, civil unrest, war, pandemics, accidents, and transportation including land vehicles, boats, and aircraft. I fully assume risks to myself that come with the adventurous activities I may be participating in including but not limited to altitude, exposure, wildlife encounters, extreme weather, illness, physical exertion, physical injury, and death. 2. Company Liability. Nothing in this Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risks and Release and Indemnity Agreement shall be interpreted as the participant and parent releasing F4A from liability for injuries, damage, death, or other loss to participant or others that may occur within the jurisdiction of the National Park Service and is caused by F4A negligence, gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct, including but not limited to any negligence with respect to F4A judgments and decisions, or F4A failure to take reasonable precautions to ensure it provides defect-free equipment. 3. Third-Party Disclaimer. In many situations, F4A acts on my behalf as an agent for independent suppliers that provide hotel accommodations, transportation, guided tours and activities, gear rental and other services. My participation in a F4A trip/tour is subject to the terms and conditions of those suppliers. I accept that F4A does not maintain control over third-party employees or operations and therefore cannot be responsible for their actions, inactions, or omissions. 4. Personal Responsibility. I agree to take full responsibility for my own actions, safety, and welfare. I also understand that I will be a member of a group and will conduct myself in a way that will not endanger the group or myself. I certify that I have sufficient skill and fitness to participate in the activities described in this F4A trip/tour. I have no medical, mental, or physical conditions which could interfere with my safety or ability to participate. Should my trip be interrupted or cancelled for my injury, illness, inability or other personal reason, I will cover any and all additional costs of rescue, medical care, lodging and transportation and will not expect any refund or reimbursement from F4A. I have been advised to purchase a travel insurance policy that covers me in such situations. 5. Adaptability. Participating in adventurous trips/tours requires a degree of adaptability. There are many forces beyond the control of F4A hosts and organizers: inclement weather, trail closures, cancelled events, understaffed restaurants, global pandemics, just to name a few. I agree to remain adaptable and congenial while the trip leaders navigate these situations as they arise, and I understand they are working in the best interest of the group. I will not seek damages or refunds for missed experiences, even those specifically mentioned on itineraries, where the cause was out of the trip leaders’ control. I acknowledge that food preparation is an integral part of some of these activities and that I am sharing meals in a group setting and there may be limited selections. I acknowledge my responsibility to inform F4A of any specific food related allergies, but also accept that some of the offerings may not be to my liking. If I suffer an injury or illness during the trip, and F4A deems it necessary to administer emergency first aid or to seek emergency medical care or rescue for me, I give permission for F4A to administer care; secure emergency transportation; or disclose medical information about me to care providers as needed and I will not have recourse against F4A regardless of outcome. 6. Publicity. I understand that F4A reserves the right to take photographic and video records of the tour/trip I am participating in, and that such records may be used for promotional or commercial purposes. I am not entitled to compensation for my appearance in these records. I further acknowledge that F4A cannot control and is not responsible for the release of photographic images, videos or statements that may be generated or disseminated by other trip/tour participants or third parties. 7. Pandemics, endemics and epidemics. I understand that travel involves risk to my health and accept all F4A policies regarding health-conscious travel as they pertain to public health issues on this trip. I understand that policies may change as conditions change and states/countries/carriers/destinations may change their requirements accordingly without notice. I agree to abide by those requirements as mandated.
