Accident Waiver and Release of Liability

I acknowledge that by becoming a member of Buffalo Blue Bicycle and utilizing its fleet of recycled bicycles I am placing myself at potential risk for death, serious injury and property loss.  The risks include, but are not limited to, those caused by terrain, facilities, temperature, weather, physical condition of user, equipment, vehicular traffic, actions of other people including, but not limited to, other users, volunteers, and spectators.  These risks are not only inherent to bicycling, but are also present for volunteers.  I hereby assume all of the risks of participating and/or volunteering in this initiative.  I realize that liability may arise from negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons or entities being released, from dangerous or defective equipment or property owned, maintained or controlled by them or because of their possible liability without fault. 

I certify that I am physically fit, have sufficient knowledge on vehicle and traffic safety laws and understand that it is recommended that all users wear a helmet.

I acknowledge that this Accident Waiver and Release of Liability form will be used by Buffalo’s Blue Bicycles, sponsors and organizers, in which I may participate and that it will govern my actions and responsibilities during my use of its services.

In consideration of my application and permitting me to participate in this program, I hereby take action for myself, my executors, administrators, heirs, next of kin, successors, and assigns as follows: 

(A) Waive, Release and Discharge from any and all liability for my death, disability, personal injury, property damage, property theft or actions of any kind which may hereafter accrue to me including my traveling to and from this program, THE FOLLOWING ENTITIES OR PERSONS:

(B) Indemnify and Hold Harmless the entities or persons mentioned in this paragraph from any and all liabilities or claims made as a result of participation in this program, whether cause by the negligence of releases or otherwise.

I hereby consent to receive medical treatment that may be deemed advisable in the event of injury, accident, and/or illness during use of the program.

I understand that at this program or related activities, I may be photographed.  I agree to allow my photo, video or film likeness to be used for any legitimate purpose by the program holders, sponsors, organizers and assigns.
