Waiver and Release

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, WAIVER AND RELEASE

By voluntarily participating in a Quincycles, Inc. sponsored bicycle ride (“Quincycles Ride”), I agree and acknowledge the following:

  1. I am aware that bicycling involves certain inherent dangers, including but not limited to the hazards of roads and off road terrain; weather; accidents; actions of participants, motorists and other persons.  I acknowledge that I am aware of the rules of the road applicable to bicycles.
  2. I understand that CPSC certified bicycle helmets are required to participate in all Quincycles Rides and I agree to wear a helmet while participating in any Quincycles Ride and to follow the rules of the road and all applicable laws and safe bicycling practices.
  3. I understand that it is not the function of the ride leaders (if a Quincycles Ride has ride leaders) to serve as guardians of my safety. I recognize that the route(s) chosen may be challenging, not necessarily the safest or easiest route(s) and that weather, road and traffic conditions may make a ride difficult.
  4. I give permission to Quincycles, Inc. to use or release my image without payment should it appear in photos or videos taken during an Quincycles Ride.
  5. I freely and voluntarily accept all risks of injury, death or property damage.  I understand and agree that none of the parties described below may be held liable in any way for any occurrence or accident in connection with a Quincycles Ride.  I hereby RELEASE from any and all liability Quincycles, Inc., its officers, volunteers and agents, their respective successors and assigns, ride sponsors and supporters, and ride leader(s) (if any), against all claims, including, but not limited to, claims of negligence, unintentional acts, and acts of omission, and any personal injury, loss or expense, which may arise from my participation in any Quincycles Ride.  I understand I am responsible for my own conduct and decisions while participating in a Quincycles Ride and further agree that this Waiver & Release shall apply to any claim arising out of my participation in non-bicycling activities while a participant in a Quincycles Ride.
  6. This Waiver & Release is intended to be binding upon me, my family, my heirs, my estate, my legal representatives and assigns.   I understand that the terms of this document are contractual and not a mere recital.

I AGREE I HAVE FULLY INFORMED MYSELF OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS WAIVER & RELEASE BY READING IT AND AGREE TO ITS TERMS.
