Guest Release and Waiver

Terms

Policies

Last Updated: March 27, 2019

In order to participate in a Tour Service, your Operators require you to accept this Guest Release and Waiver, which is effective between you and your Operator as of the date when you first book or participate in a Tour Service, whichever happens first. All terms not defined here have the meaning given them in the FarCloser Travel Terms of Service.

You represent that you are 18 years of age or older. If you are bringing a minor as a Guest, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor throughout the duration of your Tour Service, and have read this Guest Release and Waiver and agree to it on the minor’s behalf. If you are booking a Tour Service on behalf of other Guests, you will ensure, and you represent and warrant, that each Guest on whose behalf you book has read and agreed to this Guest Release and Waiver, which shall apply to each of them as if the reference to “you” was a reference to him/her.

Assumption of Risks

You understand and acknowledge that the Tour Services you sign up to may be hazardous and may carry the risk of injury or illness, including sickness, physical injury, property damage, disability, permanent paralysis, and death.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL RISKS, BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, OF PARTICIPATING IN EACH TOUR SERVICE, INCLUDING EACH ACTIVITY IN YOUR TOUR SERVICE, EVEN IF THOSE RISKS ARISE FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OR CARELESSNESS OF THE OPERATOR OR OTHERS, OR DEFECTS IN THE EQUIPMENT, PREMISES, OR FACILITIES USED DURING THE ACTIVITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE TOUR SERVICE AND ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES.

Release and Waiver

You acknowledge and agree that:

You have reasonably assessed the risks involved in the Tour Services and have made an informed and voluntary choice to participate;
You alone, and not the Operator, are responsible for determining your fitness for participating in the Tour Services and your ability to fully understand any directions or warnings presented;
You will not participate in any Tour Services when you have a physical, medical, or mental limitation or disability, or when you are aware or should reasonably be aware of any factors that may limit or prevent you from safely participating in that Tour Service; and
You will act reasonably and responsibly and will comply with any provided and customary conditions, directions, and/or precautions for participation in the Tour Services. If you notice any hazard during a Tour Service, you will stop participating immediately.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU RELEASE AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE YOUR OPERATORS FOR ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, LOSSES (WHETHER ECONOMIC OR NON-ECONOMIC), DAMAGES, EXPENSES, COSTS OR LIABILITY OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR THE OPERATOR’S TOUR SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

If you reside in California, you expressly waive the protection of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”), which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY. You understand and agree that claims or facts in addition to or different from those which are now known or believed by you to exist may hereafter be discovered.

You intend this Guest Release and Waiver to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. You agree that if any portion of this Guest Release and Waiver is held to be invalid, the balance notwithstanding shall continue in full force and effect.

Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPERATORS PROVIDE TOUR SERVICES “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPERATORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF SAFETY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND AS TO THE ADEQUACY OF THE DIRECTIONS AND WARNINGS PROVIDED TO YOU.

Indemnification

You agree that if, despite this Guest Release and Waiver, you or anyone on your behalf make a claim against the Operator relating to a Tour Service, you will indemnify and hold the Operator harmless from any liability, demand, loss, damage, or costs which the Operator may incur as the result of such claim.

You affirm that you HAVE READ THIS GUEST RELEASE AND WAIVER AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE, WAIVER, AND CONSENT CONTAINED IN IT. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN UP RIGHTS BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, AND HAVE DONE SO FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY AND WITHOUT INDUCEMENT.
