I, understand and acknowledge that, due to the nature of live action role playing, participation in Middlehaven Inc LARP events involves an inherent RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE AND BODILY INJURY, from the activity itself, from the acts of others, both day and night, or to slip on uneven or wet ground.

I also understand and acknowledge that Middlehaven Inc does not provide all materials and equipment to participants in an event.  Participants are required to use theatrical weapons that have been approved by Middlehaven Inc staff and Middlehaven Inc staff will make reasonable efforts to ensure that all weapons comply with its rules, however Middlehaven Inc cannot guarantee that there are no latent defects in weapons used at events, that no players will fail to adhere to the rules, nor that materials and equipment used will be completely safe.

I understand and acknowledge that under the rules of Middlehaven Inc, players have the ability to suspend action in an event by calling a “HOLD, HOLD, HOLD” if they perceive any hazard in the situation, if they have any question or concern regarding their own safety or the safety of others, or if they are uncomfortable continuing participation for any reason whatsoever.  I acknowledge that, in such circumstances, I can discontinue participation in the event, or that in that part of the event, with no adverse consequence to my ability to participate in the remainder of the event or future events.  I agree that I have the ability to discern for myself the hazards to my health and the safety and to exercise my own judgment to suspend participation if I determine that an unacceptable risk exists.

I further understand that an “event” includes any set-up or clean-up period, preceding or following a period of actual game play, as well as any non-play time which may be called during the course of an event.  The term ‘event’ refers to all games, and any other activity sponsored by Middlehaven Inc.

I hereby ASSUME ALL RISKS THAT ARISE OUT OF PARTICIPATION IN A MIDDLEHAVEN INC LARP EVENT, THE ACTS OF OTHERS, OR THE UNAVAILABILITY OF EMERGENCY CARE, including but not limited to those risks set forth above.

I hereby release Middlehaven Inc and the owner(s) of the facility, as well as the staff, directors, officers, employees and agents of each of them (hereinafter the “Indemnitees”) from any and all liability, and agree not to sue the organization, game owner, members, staff, or attendees without first submitting to BINDING ARBITRATION on account of or in conjunction with any claims, causes of action, injuries, damage, cost of expenses arising out of my participation in an event, including those based on bodily injury or property damage WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE ACTS, OMISSIONS, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER FAULT OF THE PARTIES BEING RELEASED.

I hereby waive the protection afforded by any statute or law in any jurisdiction, including common law, whose purpose, substance and/or effect is to provide that a general release shall not extend to claims, material or otherwise which the person giving the release does not know of or suspect at the time of executing the release.  This means, in part, that I am releasing unknown future claims.

I further agree to pay for any or all damages to any property or Indemnitees caused by me, either negligently, willfully or otherwise.

I agree to INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND the Indemnitees against, and hold them harmless from any or all claims, causes of action, damage judgments, costs or expenses, including attorney fees which in any way arise from my failure to abide by this agreement, including claims regarding my own bodily injury or damage to my property as well as claims of bodily injury or property damage of others arising out of my own negligence or failure to comply with the rules.

I understand that Middlehaven Inc may use photographs or other images of participants in its events for promotional and other business related purposes.  As further consideration for participation in Middlehaven Inc events, I hereby grant Middlehaven Inc a perpetual, non-exclusive, world-wide license to use my image or likeness for any purpose.  No further permission or consent shall be required for any such use and no royalties or other compensation shall be due me for the use of my likeness under any circumstance.
