WAIVER INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
(To be Signed by all Llama Participants)
WARNING:
Under Colorado Law, a llama professional is not liable for an injury to or the death of a participant in llama activities resulting from the inherent risks of llama activities, pursuant to section 13-21-119, Colorado Revised Statutes.
This Complete Release From Liability in Case of Injury or Loss, Waiver Indemnity Agreement (“Release") is entered into by the undersigned in favor of John A. Myers and Llamas Colorado, LLC, and any and all agents, owners, members, managers, affiliates, employees, promoters, sponsors, other packers, llama owners, advertisers, sales persons, photographers and volunteers that are in any way associated with Llamas Colorado, LLC (collectively, "Released Parties"). In consideration of being permitted by the Released Parties to participate in the rental of llamas, llama hiking, llama packing and/or llama activities, including, without limitation, the handling and care of llamas (whether or not with or without compensation to the Released Parties), Participant (“Participant” or “I”) acknowledges and agrees as follows:
1. HAZARDOUS ACTIVITY. I AM AWARE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE RENTAL OF LLAMAS, LLAMA HIKING/ PACKING, LLAMA ACTIVITIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE HANDLING AND CARE OF LLAMAS, ARE INHERENTLY HAZARDOUS ACTIVITIES, AND I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN SUCH ACTIVITIES, AND BEING IN THE VICINITY OF SUCH ACTIVITIES, WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED, AND I ASSUME ALL THE RISK THEREOF. I am aware and understand that llamas are powerful, unpredictable, and potentially uncontrollable animals. All llamas, even those that are well trained and appear calm and docile, may and will, among other things, rear, kick, bite, or move uncontrollably without warning, and without apparent cause or in response to external stimuli (such as wind, weather, sound, or movement of people, other llamas, other animals, motor vehicles, bicycles, machinery, doors, or other inanimate objects) that may induce fear, panic, anger or reflex actions in the llama. I am aware and understand that serious, permanent bodily injury and disability or death of myself, or others within the vicinity of llamas, may result from the rental of llamas, llama hiking, llama packing, llama activities including, without limitation, the handling or care of llamas, or being in the vicinity of llamas, and that llamas and other property belonging to me or others may be, as applicable, killed, injured, or damaged.
I HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS AND COSTS OF INJURY (INCLUDING PERMANENT BODILY INJURY, DISABILITY, AND DEATH); COMPLETE RELEASE FROM LIABILITY IN CASE OF INJURY OR LOSS, DISEASE OR DEATH TO MYSELF AND TO ALL OTHER PERSONS; AND ALL FINANCIAL LOSSES, INJURY, DAMAGES, DESTRUCTION AND/OR LOSS OF MY PROPERTY, LLAMA’S COLORADO PROPERTY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE LLAMA, AND OTHER PERSONS' PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THEIR LLAMA, ARISING FROM THE RENTAL OF LLAMAS, LLAMA HIKING/PACKING, OR LLAMA ACTIVITIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE HANDLING AND CARE OF LLAMAS BY ME OR OTHER PERSONS, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO BE INSTRUCTED IN THE PROPER METHODS OF HANDLING OR CARING FOR A LLAMA AND THAT I SHOULD WEAR PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT AT ALL TIMES WHILE HANDLING OR CARING FOR A LLAMA AND THAT AT NO TIME SHOULD I OR ANY PERSON EVER ATTEMPT TO RIDE A LLAMA. IN ADDITION, I AGREE THAT ANY LLAMA ACTIVITY CONDUCTED OR SUPERVISED BY JOHN A. MYERS, AND/OR LLAMAS COLORADO, LLC IS DONE AT MY OWN RISK.
2. AGREEMENT NOT TO SUE. I HEREBY AGREE THAT I, MY HEIRS, DISTRIBUTEES, GUARDIANS, PARENTS, SUCCESSORS, LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES, AND ASSIGNS WILL NOT MAKE A CLAIM AGAINST, SUE, DEMAND COMPENSATION OR INDEMNITY FROM, OR ATTACH ANY OF THE PROPERTY OR ASSETS OF, THE RELEASED PARTIES, and each of them, for any loss or damage arising or resulting from any bodily injury, disability, illness, disease, death, financial loss, property loss, damage or destruction, or other harm of whatever nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, that may be sustained or suffered by me or any other person as a direct or indirect consequence of my participation, or the participation of any other person, in the rental of llamas, llama hiking/packing, and/or llama activities, including, without limitation, the handling and care of llamas, whether caused by the negligence of any of the Released Parties or otherwise.
