As lawful consideration for being permitted by the Companies to participate in the Activity, I agree to all the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this “Agreement”).

I AM AWARE AND UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES MAY BE DANGEROUS ACTIVITIES AND INVOLVE THE RISK OF SERIOUS ILLNESS AND/OR INJURY AND/OR DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY INJURIES THAT I SUSTAIN MAY BE COMPOUNDED BY NEGLIGENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE OR RESCUE OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANIES OR THE ACTS OF OTHER THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OTHER SPONSORS OR EXHIBITORS AT THE ACTIVITY. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITIES WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGER INVOLVED AND HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS OF INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE COMPANIES OR OTHERS.

I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Companies or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Companies and all other Releasees from liability under such claims. I hereby expressly agree to sign any additional waivers that other sponsors of or exhibitors at the Activity may request of me.

I agree to follow any applicable Kansas state plan or guidance in effect, as well as local county and city COVID-19 recommendations including but not limited to: social distancing in public settings – maintaining a 6 foot distance from others; wearing a mask when in public and unable to socially distance; practicing good hygiene; and staying home and avoiding others when sick or if COVID-19 symptoms are present.

BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE THE COMPANIES.
