RELEASE – AIDS WALK AFRICA 2007 (ADULT)
The undersigned individual (“I” or “me”) desires to participate in the AIDS Walk Africa 2007, which is being sponsored by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (the “Foundation”) and held in Tanzania from March 11 to March 16, 2007.
I have informed myself of the conditions of Tanzania and locations where I will be during the AIDS Walk Africa 2007, as well as proposed activities related to the AIDS Walk Africa 2007. I understand that Tanzania is a developing country and the AIDS Walk Africa 2007 involves visiting certain clinics, hospitals and other sites in underdeveloped communities and where extreme poverty and living conditions exists. I acknowledge that I may encounter difficult conditions while participating in the AIDS Walk Africa 2007. I have consulted with appropriate medical personnel and determined that my health is adequate to participate in the AIDS Walk Africa 2007, or I have knowingly waived my right to do so, in my sole and absolute discretion.
I understand and acknowledge that my participation in the AIDS Walk Africa 2007 involves hazards and risks, both foreseen and unforeseen, which may include, without limitation, civil unrest and strife, wildlife, crime, disease, unsanitary living conditions, and unsafe water and food. I also understand and acknowledge that the Foundation is unable to minimize or eliminate any or all of these risks, and I am prepared to accept all risks related to my participation in the AIDS Walk Africa 2007, which shall be subject to the release set forth below, regardless of any steps that may be taken by the Foundation to minimize or eliminate certain risks or to deal with the consequences of certain risks. I acknowledge that I should exercise extra care for my own person and belongings.
I understand that in the event of a personal injury or illness, I may require medical care or treatment during my participation on the AIDS Walk Africa 2007. I acknowledge that the quality of medical care available may not be the quality or type of medical care that I am ordinarily accustomed to receiving and may not be readily accessible. I acknowledge and agree that I am responsible for any costs related to any medical care or treatment including, without limitation, any transportation costs within or outside of Tanzania. The Foundation shall have no responsibility for any such costs, and I will not hold the Foundation and its agents (as defined below) accountable or liable for any costs related to my medical care or treatment.
I understand that the local conditions in Tanzania or international political situations, as well as other conditions outside of the Foundation’s control, may cause the Foundation to delay, reschedule or cancel the AIDS Walk Africa 2007. I also understand that while on the AIDS Walk Africa 2007, the local conditions in Tanzania or geopolitical conditions or other conditions outside the Foundation’s control may change, and I may need to evacuate Tanzania immediately if I or the Foundation concludes that such changes pose a serious risk to me and my safety. In the event of any delay or cancellation, at any time, I will be responsible for all costs related to my participation, including (without limitation) costs related to any postponement, cancellation or emergency evacuation, and I not hold the Foundation and its agents accountable or liable for any costs, interest, or damages of any kind.
I understand that the Foundation is a charitable organization and I recognize that participation in the AIDS Walk Africa 2007 is voluntary. The Foundation desires to be free of all claims, lawsuits, and liabilities arising from, or related to, the AIDS Walk Africa 2007. I recognize that the Foundation does not assume any responsibility for injury, sickness, disease, personal health, death or loss or damage to personal property, and I hereby knowingly assume all risks of harm (both foreseen and unforeseen) related to participating in the AIDS Walk Africa 2007.
Accordingly, I hereby expressly and irrevocably waive and release any and all claims and causes of action for personal injury, illness, disease, death, damage to or loss of personal property, or other loss, including, without limitation, claims based upon the negligence, errors or omissions, or breach of covenants or duties of the Foundation, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Research Foundation, Glaser Pediatric Research Network, their affiliates, directors, officers, agents, representatives, contractors, employees, legal representatives, corporate sponsors and/or donors (collectively, its “agents”) arising out of the AIDS Walk Africa 2007, which might accrue to myself, my spouse and/or my child/children and/or other dependents or otherwise to my estate. This waiver and release applies to any and all liability for claims, of any type or description, whether arising from ordinary negligence or otherwise, and whether involving fees, expenses, or damages of any kind.
In the event that some other person or entity seeks compensation for claims as to which I have released the Foundation and its agents by signing this Release, I or my estate will indemnify and hold harmless the Foundation and its agents for all sums, costs, fees, and expenses that may be incurred in connection with such claims.
I hereby represent that I am over the age of eighteen and I acknowledge that I have read and understand the information on this form, I have had the opportunity to consult with advisors of my own choosing and have either done so or have knowingly waived my right to do so, and I hereby freely and voluntarily agree to the terms contained in this Release.
