UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA
Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement
Waiver: In consideration of being permitted to visit or participate in any way in any activity,
including transportation, at the above location, I, for myself, my heirs, personal representatives or assigns, do hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue The Regents of the
University of California, its officers, employees, and agents, and the California Department of
Parks and Recreation, its officers, employees, and agents, (the University and Department of
Parks and Recreation and others listed hereinafter are collectively referred to as the “Releasees”) from liability from any and all claims including the negligence of the Releasees, resulting in personal injury, accidents or illnesses (including death), and property loss arising from, but not limited to, visitation or participation in any way in any activity, including transportation, at the above location.
Assumption of Risks: Visitation or participation carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot
be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. The specific risks vary from one
activity to another, but the risks range from 1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and
sprains to 2) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, heart attacks,
and concussions to 3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death.
I have read the previous paragraphs and I know, understand, and appreciate these and
other risks that are inherent in visitation or participation. I hereby assert that my visitation or
participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks.
Indemnification and Hold Harmless: I also agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD the Releasees
HARMLESS from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and
liabilities, including attorney’s fees brought as a result of my involvement in visitation or
participation and to reimburse them for any such expenses incurred.
Severability:The undersigned further expressly agrees that the foregoing waiver and assumption of risks agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
Acknowledgment of Understanding: I have read this waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I acknowledge that I am signing the agreement freely and voluntarily, and intend by my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest
extent allowed by law.
