You specifically make the following representations and assurances to Arkham Con, acknowledging that Arkham Con would not permit your participation in the Event without receiving such representations and assurances:
By agreeing to this Agreement, you acknowledge that you wish to participate in a Arkham Con Convention subject to the terms and conditions herein. You acknowledge and agree that the Event involves some inherently dangerous activities. Arkham Con will use good faith efforts to conduct and manage the Event, but you understand that it is not possible to make the Event completely safe. You warrant and represent that you are sufficiently knowledgeable, skilled, and/or informed regarding the Event to properly and fully judge the inherent risks of the Event.
You further acknowledge and agree that the Event involves potential risks of serious personal injury, disability, illness, or even death. You represent that you have sufficient physical fitness to participate in the Event and you have no medical reason or impairment that might otherwise prevent you from participating in the Event. If you know or should know of any condition or problem that might prevent you from safely participating in the Event, you agree that you will immediately advise Arkham Con and remove yourself from the Event.
In consideration of being allowed to attend, participate in, or become involved with the Event, you hereby assume full responsibility for your own safety (including online safety) and accept all known and unanticipated risks of loss, damage, and injury (including illness, death or disability) to yourself and your property while attending, participating in, or becoming involved with the Event, regardless of whether or not such risks are attributable to the negligence of others. By assuming and accepting all known and unanticipated risks, you completely absolve, waive, discharge, and release Arkham Con and all its employees, advisers, consultants, members, contractors, organizers, operators, volunteers, sponsors, or other persons affiliated with Arkham Con and all facility staff, guests, fellow participants, landlords, owners, management companies and the like (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”) from any legal duty for your safety or any liability for your harm, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
In consideration of being allowed to attend, participate in, or become involved with the Event, you hereby agree to release, waive, discharge, hold harmless, defend, and indemnify the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liability, claims, demands, controversy, lawsuits, or possible causes of action (“Claims”) that may accrue or arise from any loss, damage, or injury (including illness, death or disability) to your person and property that is in any way related to or arising in connection with your attendance at, participation in, or involvement with the Event, regardless of whether or not such Claims are attributable in whole or in part to any act, omission, or negligence of the Indemnified Parties. You agree that the Indemnified Parties will not be legally responsible for any loss, damage, and injury (including illness, death or disability) to your person and property arising out of or in any way connected to the Event, however caused and on any theory of liability whatsoever (whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), including but not limited to the Indemnified Party’s own negligence. Such defense and indemnification shall include all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees that may be associated with any Claims. You further agree that you will not cause, encourage, promulgate, support, or cooperate with (unless such cooperation is judicially mandated) any Claims to be brought against the Indemnified Parties.
You understand that the above release and assumption of risk is intended to provide a comprehensive release of liability but is not intended to assert any defenses that are prohibited by law. The release and assumption of risk shall be enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by law. If any portion of the release and assumption of risk is held invalid, those parts that are not held invalid shall continue in full force and effect. The terms of the above release and assumption of risk shall apply to and be binding on yourself, your spouse, your heirs, all members of your family, executors, administrators, representatives, and assigns.
