but are not limited to:
1) Injuries sustained from any and all outdoor activities, such as running, jumping, walking, camping.
2) Injuries sustained from objects that are either natural or man-made, such as rocks, campfires, or from misjudging trails or other terrain that induces
slipping, falling, colliding or otherwise.
3) Injuries and illnesses sustained from swimming, impacting the water, and/or water entering bodily orifices.
4) Injuries from hypothermia, heat stroke, dehydration, etc. from exposure to the elements, such as rain, cold, excessive heat or the weather in general.
5) Physical and monetary injuries sustained due to my own personal negligence and/or the negligence of others, crowds, and the like.
6) Injuries or illnesses sustained from either plants or animals, aggressive or biting pets, service animals, wildlife, or exposure to any plants or animals
present within the area in general.
7) Illness arising from or out of, or relating to, directly or indirectly, the infection of COVID-19.
I understand that the description of these risks is in no way complete and that all such dangers, both anticipated
and unanticipated, can lead to illness,
injury, permanent disability, drowning and death.
Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims and Indemnity Agreement:
In making it possible to participate in many of the above-described activities and more, I both agree and acknowledge that:
1) I hereby release and hold harmless with respect to any and all illness, injury, disability, death,
or loss or damage to person or property—whether caused by
negligence or otherwise—the following named persons or entities, herein referred to as Releasees: City of Folly Beach.
2) I hereby release the Releasees, their officers, directors, managers, employees, representatives, agents, volunteers, and other vessels from any and all
liability and responsibility and for any claims that I, my estate, heirs, survivors, executors, or assigns may have for personal injury, property damage, or
wrongful death arising from the above activities whether caused by active or passive negligence of the Releasees or otherwise. By executing this
document, I agree to hold the Releasees harmless and indemnify them in conjunction with regard to any illness, injury, disability, death, or loss or damage
to my own personal property that can ensue from engagement in the full body of activities as stated above and otherwise.
3) I understand the hazards of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and am familiar with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) guidelines
regarding COVID-19. I acknowledge and understand that the circumstances regarding COVID-19 are changing from day to day and that, accordingly, the
CDC guidelines are regularly modified and updated and I accept full responsibility for familiarizing myself with the most recent updates.
4) By entering into this agreement, I am not relying on any oral or written representation or statements made by the Releasees other than that set forth in this
agreement.
5) I hereby grant the City of Folly Beach permission to use my likeness in a photograph, video, or other digital media (“photo”) in any and all of its
publications, including web-based publications, without payment or other consideration.
This release shall be binding to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of this release is found to be unenforceable, the remaining terms
shall still be enforceable.
I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT, AND NOT ONLY DO I FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS
TERMS BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT I HEREBY RELEASE ALL LIABILITY AND THEREIN RELINQUISH LEGAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT. I
