Release and Indemnity Agreement

Participation in events and activities involves risks and hazards of personal injury or illness or death or damage to property or other losses. The risks, their nature and their degree depend on many factors, including the type of event or activity, your physical, medical and other personal conditions, your conduct and the conduct of other persons.

LOG/Opale activities and events depend on the service of non-professional volunteers. Because of increased concern about liability claims that can be made against LOG/Opale, LOG/Opale requires that members agree to the following release and indemnity as condition of participating in any particular event or activity.

For your information, release means to give up and indemnity or indemnify means to repay or reimburse for an expense or other monetary loss or claim. Please read the Release and Indemnity carefully. Be sure you understand it before signing.
