In consideration of participating in The Great Banquet/Awakening, and for other good and valuable consideration, I hereby
agree to release and discharge from liability First Presbyterian Church Bryan and its pastors, members, directors, officers,
employees, agents, volunteers, participants, insurers, and all other persons or entities acting for them (hereinafter
collectively referred to as “Releasees”), on behalf of myself and my children, parents, heirs, assigns, personal
representative and estate, and also agree as follows:
1. I acknowledge that attendance at a Great Banquet involves known and unanticipated risks which could result in
physical or emotional injury, sickness paralysis or permanent disability, death and property damage. Risks include,
but are not limited to COVID-19, medical conditions resulting from physical activity; and damaged clothing or
other property. I understand such risks simply cannot be eliminated, despite the use of safety measures put in
place, without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.
2. I expressly accept and assume all of the risks inherent in this activity or that might have been caused by the
negligence of the Releasees. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary and I elect to participate despite
the risks. In addition, if at any time I believe the event conditions are unsafe or that I am unable to participate due
to physical or medical conditions, then I will immediately discontinue participation.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Releasees from any and
all claims, demands, or causes of action which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, or
my use of the equipment or facilities. This release does not apply to claims arising from intentional conduct. Should
Releasees or anyone acting on their behalf be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this
agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
4. I represent that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may suffer or cause while participating
in this activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further represent that I have no
medical or physical condition which could interfere with my safety in this activity, or else I am willing to assume –
and bear the costs of – all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.
5. In the event that I file a lawsuit, I agree to do so solely in the state where Releasees’ facility is located, and I further
agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply.
6. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall
remain in full force and effect.
By checking above, I agree that if I am hurt or my property is damaged or I develop COVID-19 during my
participation in this activity, that I have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against the Releasees.
I have had sufficient time to read this entire document and, should I choose to do so, consult with legal counsel prior to
agreeing. Also, I understand that should I not agree to this waiver I will not be able to attend the Great Banquet/Awakening.
I have read and understood this document and agree to be bound by its terms.
