VOLUNTARY RELEASE OF LIABILITY

I the undersigned, do hereby agree willfully and voluntarily to release ORTONVILLE RECREATION EQUESTRIAN ASSOICATION from any and all liability resulting from personal injury, property damage, or property loss occurring as a result of my or my family’s membership in the Association or my participation or participation of members of my family, minor children included, in any event sponsored in whole or in part by ORTONVILLE RECREATION EQUESTRIAN ASSOCIATION for the duration of my membership. I fully indemnify ORTONVILLE RECREATION EQUESTRIAN ASSOCIATION for all claims, legal or otherwise, which I may have now or in the future resulting from the negligence of ORTONVILLE RECREATION EQUESTRIAN ASSOCIATION, its members and/or volunteers in conjunction with my membership or Association-related events. I understand that equine activities are risky by their very nature and agree to undertake full responsibility for said risk on my behalf, as well as on behalf of my minor child, legal ward, heirs, representatives and assigns.

I further agree that this release and waiver constitutes a waiver of liability beyond the provisions of the above cited Michigan Equine Activity Liability Act. This release and waiver shall remain in effect for all claims arising under its terms for the entire duration of membership, regardless of my or my child’s level of participation in the Association or Association-related event. I also agree that if any portion of this release and waiver is struck down by the court of law, the remaining terms shall remain binding.

MY SIGNATURE BELOW IS PROOF THAT I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS DOCUMENT; I HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW IT WITH MY ATTORNEY OR HAVE VOLUNTARILY WAIVED THAT RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM WAIVING CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, AND I WILLINGLY AGREE TO DO SO.

(All adult members must sign this release. Failure to sign will result in the denial of your membership application and return of your dues payment).
