Full Release / Waiver

The following is the text from the Full Release / waiver we have all participants sign. You should not print this page - we will provide printed copies. This is here to allow you to carefully read the waiver prior to signing it at the meet.

For good and valuable consideration, including participation in programs (“Programs”) or use of the facilities (“Facilities”) offered by Brian Alexander and the Mid-Atlantic Battle Group (collectively, “Sponsor”), the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned (either individually or on behalf of a minor) participant (“Participant”) agrees as follows:

Participant, his assigns, heirs, and personal representatives do hereby fully and forever release and discharge Sponsor and all of Sponsor’s predecessors, successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, members, volunteers, coaches, sponsors, and owners or lessors of the properties (whether real or personal) used in Sponsor Programs (collectively, with Sponsor "Sponsor Affiliates") from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, actions, causes of action, or suits at law or in equity, of whatsoever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, discovered or undiscovered, matured or not matured, asserted or unasserted, including, but not limited to, suits involving the negligence of the Sponsor Affiliates, which Participant may have previously had or now have or may assert against any one or more of the Sponsor Affiliates, arising on or prior to the date hereof out of, or in any way related to, participation in Programs or use of the Facilities.

Participant also covenants and agrees with each and all of the Sponsor Affiliates not to sue any of them with respect to any matters arising out of, or in any way related to, the Programs or Facilities. If Participant sues any of the Sponsor Affiliates after the execution of this Release, and any of the Sponsor Affiliates prevails in such action, the Participant agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of the Sponsor Affiliates for any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or costs associated with such action.

Participant acknowledges that Participant or Participant’s representative (i) understands that participation in the Programs or use of the Facilities involves numerous risks of injury that Participant assumes, (ii) has had the opportunity to discuss with the Sponsor Affiliates the risks associated with participation in the Programs or use of the Facilities, (iii) assumes all risks associated with participation in the Programs or use of the Facilities, (iv) will ask for information or explanations if such risks are not understood, and (v) will immediately notify the Sponsor Affiliates of any condition which, in the Participant’s opinion, represents an unreasonable risk to the Participant. Any person executing this Release on behalf of a Participant represents and warrants that such person is authorized and the proper party to execute this Release on behalf of the Participant.

There are no representations, promises, covenants, or undertakings, oral or otherwise, on the part of any of the Sponsor Affiliates with Participant as to the subject matter hereof, other than those expressly set forth in this Release. This Release represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Sponsor Affiliates and Participant, and there are no agreements or understandings otherwise. Whenever reasonably necessary, pronouns of any gender are deemed synonymous, as are singular and plural pronouns. The judicial rule of construction requiring or allowing a document to be construed to the detriment or against the interests of the document's maker or drafter shall not apply to this Agreement. This Full Release shall be governed in all respects by Virginia law, and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any cause of action shall be in Virginia or federal courts having subject matter jurisdiction located in Montgomery County, Virginia.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Release as of the _____ day of _________________, 2011, having read and fully understood the provisions hereof.
