I represent that I have full authority as parent, guardian, or custodian of the below-listed minors. I understand that all risks cannot be entirely eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activities and experiences at BigDipper, and I expressly agree to accept and assume all of the risks voluntarily existing in these activities and experiences. Such risks include, but are not limited to, cuts and bruises, burns, falls, and injuries to wrists, arms, legs, ankles, backs, heads, and necks, contact with other participants, spinal injuries, risks to those with pacemakers or implanted medical devices, risks to those with medical conditions, and/or death, which may occur while on the land and premises of BigDipper. I confirm I am responsible for my own actions and involvement, and the actions and involvement of the listed minors.
Health and Safety Representation
Further, I have explained these risks to the listed minors. I certify that I and/or the listed minors are in good physical condition for the activities in which I and/or they will be participating and certify that I and/or they do not have any medical or other condition that may preclude me and/or them from safely participating in the activities in which we intend to participate. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, cardiovascular issues, respiratory problems, skin infections, pregnancy, or any other medical conditions that can be exacerbated by heat, cold, and/or prolonged exposure to hot or cold water. I confirm that I will make BigDipper and its staff aware of any medical or other condition that may preclude me and/or the listed minors from safely participating. I accept that certain activities at BigDipper are unsuitable for those with certain physical conditions, medical conditions, under the influence of alcohol or any illicit or prescription drugs which are likely to increase the risk of injury to myself or others, and that I will assess my own ability and that of those in my care to partake in those activities.
Release and Waiver of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue BigDipper Ltd, its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, and assigns (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, injury, or death that may be sustained by me while participating in the aforementioned activities, whether caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise. However nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a release for conduct that is found to constitute gross negligence or intentional conduct.
Indemnification
I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any loss, liability, damage, or costs, including court costs and attorneys' fees, that may arise due to my participation in the activities.
Compliance and Safety
I and those in my care will undertake necessary precautions before taking part in activities. Due to the physical nature of certain activities (including overheating, cold shock, falls, etc.), we recommend that pregnant women and those who are not physically fit and able do not take part in physically demanding activities. If participants have medical, injury, or fitness concerns, they are advised to consult their doctor in advance for medical clearance, and they must notify BigDipper and its staff of any such concerns in advance. While I will read and take notice of BigDipper's Terms and Conditions, rules, warning, and safety signage at BigDipper, I accept that ultimate responsibility for the safe use of BigDipper activities and equipment by me and those I am signing for rests with me. I agree to indemnify BigDipper for any loss it suffers as a result of my failure, or the failure of the listed minor participants in my care, to comply with instructions of BigDipper staff and/or to comply with the BigDipper Terms and Conditions.
Behavior and Conduct
BigDipper reserves the right, in its discretion, to refuse admittance to, or to remove a participant from activities should it deem it necessary to do so, and no refunds will be given. This includes a participant who does not comply with the safety rules, safety direction, does not use the supplied safety equipment properly, is deemed to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or is not wearing appropriate footwear or attire for the activity.
Emergency Medical Services
I grant BigDipper the right to request emergency medical services for me and/or the listed minors in the event BigDipper deems a situation medically necessary. Information provided as part of this waiver can be shared with third parties to establish proof of consent to the terms of this waiver in accordance with the BigDipper Privacy and Cookies Policy.
Terms and Conditions
This waiver is operable in conjunction with the BigDipper Privacy and Cookies Policy and the Terms and Conditions which I also expressly agree to by signing below, including the supervision policy within such Terms and Conditions where the booking includes children (U18). I agree to follow all instructions set out in Safety Rules that are notified to me during an activity, along with all instructions given to me by BigDipper staff before and during all activities.
Compliance with Safety Instructions and Signage
