RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY 

AGREEMENT (Agreement) 

IN CONSIDERATION of being given the opportunity to participate in any DALLAS ROWING CLUB ("Club") activities ("Activity"), I for myself, my 

personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin: 

1. ACKNOWLEDGE, agree and represent that I understand the nature of Rowing Activities, both on water and land based, and that I am qualified, in 

good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such Activity. 

2. FULLY UNDERSTAND that: (a) ROWING 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 care 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 US Rowing, the City of Dallas, the Club, their administrators, directors, 

agents, officers, volunteers and employees, other participating regatta 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 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 a result of such claim.  This includes, but is not limited to, claims based on the sole or concurrent 

negligence and/or the strict liability of the releasees.  

I have read this agreement, fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up 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, 

notwithstanding, shall continue in full force and effect.
