1. I acknowledge that climbing on an artificial climbing wall, participating in physical training classes or the use of a “slackline” entails known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death or damage to myself, to property, or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. The risks include, among other things: falling off the wall; loose and/or damaged artificial holds; rented equipment failure: falling to the ground, on other users, or being fallen on by other users; abrasions from the walls, ropes, pads, or the floor; equipment failure; belay and/or belayer failure; climbing out of control or beyond ones personal limits; the negligence of other climbers, visitors, participants, or other persons who may be present; musculoskeletal injuries and or over training; head injuries; or my own negligence. Furthermore, T.R.G. employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be ignorant of a participant’s fitness or abilities. They may give inadequate warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.

2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in the above-described activities. My participation in such activities is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.

3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless T.R.G. 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 T.R.G.’s equipment, classes or facilities, including any such Claims, which allege negligent acts or omissions of T.R.G.

4. Should T.R.G. 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.

5. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I have no medical or physical conditions that 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.

6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against T.R.G., I agree to do so solely in the state of Texas, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state.

7. I agree to follow all instructions, rules, and policies, including all verbal or physically posted in the gym at all times, communicated by our staff when climbing or using any part of the facility.

8. CONSENT FOR RELEASE OF AUDIO, PHOTOGRAPH, VIDEO Texas Rock Gym may from time to time, or by accident, take or use photographs, digital images, and/or video with audio recordings of your child that may by used in news releases and/or promotional materials as follows but not limited to: printed publications or materials, posters, brochures, greeting cards, calendars, electronic publications, or Web sites, including social media.

I hereby waive, release and forever discharge the Texas Rock Gym from any and all claims or liability arising from the use of my child’s photograph for the above purposes.
