Waiver and Release of Liability and Indemnity Agreement
In consideration of being permitted to participate in Hilton Head Plantation Women’s Club (HHPWC) sponsored activities, and for volunteering and participating in HHPWC affiliate programs for any purpose, without respect to location, I hereby agree to the following:
1. Acknowledgment of Risk
I understand that by utilizing the services, activities, and programs of HHPWC, there is a risk of injury, including permanent disability; risks of illness and/or risks of contracting contagious diseases, including but not limited to COVID-19; or death, when participating in recreational activities, utilizing equipment and participating in any services or programs offered by HHPWC. These activities may include the use and consumption of alcohol, boating and water sports, walking, hiking, cycling, and the use of vehicles, golf carts, and other motor-propelled devices, among others. I specifically acknowledge that the risk of serious injury does exist.
2. Release and Waiver of Liability
I, on behalf of myself, my agents, personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and devisees, hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue HHPWC, its directors, officers, volunteers, and agents (hereinafter referred to as “releasees”) for any liability, loss, or damage, and any claim or demands, therefore, that I may have either now or in the future on account of injury or damage to my person or property, or resulting in death while I am in, upon, or about the premises of any facilities therein, or participating in any program or activity affiliated with HHPWC without respect to location, whether caused by the negligence of the releasees or otherwise, except that which is the result of gross negligence and wanton misconduct.
3. Indemnification
I hereby agree to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the releasees from any loss, liability, damage, or cost they may incur due to my being in, upon, or about any premises and/or facilities procured by HHPWC or in any way using any facilities or participating in any program affiliated with HHPWC whether caused by negligence of the releasees or otherwise.
4. Assumption of Risk
I hereby knowingly and freely assume full responsibility for all risks of bodily injury, death, or property damage, whether known or unknown, due to negligence of releasees or otherwise while in, upon, or about any premises and/or facilities procured by HHPWC, or while using any facilities or participating in any program affiliated with HHPWC. I further waive any and all duty of releasees to warn and/or protect me of any and all dangers, whether hidden, open, obvious, or otherwise, whether or not releasees know of, have reason to know of, and/or could reasonably discover such dangers.
5. Legal Enforceability
I further understand and expressly agree that the foregoing waiver and release of liability and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of South Carolina or other binding authority and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
6. Use of Photographs
HHPWC does not take photographs of events, activities, or members for commercial use or any other purposes other than information, educational, or promotional regarding HHPWC. Images may be used for, but are not limited to, HHPWC and HHPPOA publications and newsletters, local newspaper and magazine articles, the HHPWC website, and HHPWC social media.
Agreement and Acceptance
I have read and voluntarily agree to this Waiver and Release of Liability and Indemnity Agreement, fully understanding its terms and understanding that I have given up substantial rights by agreeing to accept its terms. I further agree that no oral representations, statements, or inducements apart from the foregoing written agreement have been made.
