1. ACKNOWLEDGE, agree,
and represent that I understand the nature of Ghost Hunting Activities, both
indoor & outdoor based, and that I am qualified, in good health, and in
proper physical condition to participate in such Activity;
2. FULLY UNDERSTAND
that: (a) GHOST HUNTING ACTIVITIES INVOLVE RISKS AND DANGERS of serious bodily
injury, including permanent disability, paralysis, and death
("Risks"); (b) these Risks and dangers may be caused by my own
actions, or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the
Activity, the condition in which the Activity takes place, or the negligence of
the Releasees named below-, (c) there may be other risks and social and economic
losses either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I
FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES,
COSTS, AND
DAMAGES I incur as a
result of my participation in the Activity;
3. AGREE AND WARRANT that
I will examine and inspect each Activity in which I take part as a member of
the Club and that, if I observe any condition which I consider to be
unacceptably hazardous or dangerous, I will notify the proper authority in
charge of the Activity and will refuse to take part in the Activity until the
condition has been corrected to my satisfaction;
4. HEREBY RELEASE,
discharge, and covenant not to sue Beau Woods, the Club, their administrators,
directors, agents, officers, members, volunteers, and employees, other
participants, club organizers, any sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable,
owners and lessors of premises on which the Activity takes place, (each
considered one of the Releasees herein) from all liability, claims, demands, losses,
or damages on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by
the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise,
including negligent
rescue operations; and I further agree that if, despite this release and waiver
of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement, I, or anyone on my
behalf, makes a claim against any of the Releasees, I WILL INDEMNIFY, SAVE, AND
HOLD HARMLESS each of the Releasees from any litigation expenses, attorney
fees, loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as the result of
such claim.
I have read this

substantial rights by signing it and have signed it freely and without any
inducement or assurance of any nature and intend it to be a complete and unconditional
release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law and agree that
if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid the balance, not with standing,
shall continue in full force and effect.
