GENERAL AND UNCONDITIONAL FULL RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AGREEMENT
(the "Agreement")
I, __________ ("Participant"), or if the Participant is a minor (under 18 years of age), I, the undersigned parent or legal guardian ("Parent/Guardian") acting on behalf of the minor Participant, acknowledge that participation in the Formula (F1) simulator experience ("Activity") is completely voluntary. I understand the Activity involves intense physical and sensory stimulation (including rapid motion, vibration, flashing or strobing lights, confined seating, and loud noises) and may involve crowds, queues, and movement around the Premises. "Premises" means the venue, facility, or location at which the Activity takes place, including all parking areas, common areas, walkways, restrooms, and any other areas to which Participant may have access in connection with the Activity. I understand that risks include, without limitation, motion sickness, nausea, vertigo, fainting, falls, collision with objects or persons, aggravation of pre-existing conditions, physical strain, anxiety or panic, and serious injury or death, as well as loss of or damage to personal property. If signing on my own behalf, I represent that I am at least eighteen (18) years of age. If signing on behalf of a minor Participant, I represent and warrant that I am the parent or legal guardian of such minor and have full legal authority to bind the minor to this Agreement. I represent that the Participant is physically and medically able to participate; that the Participant has no condition that would make participation unsafe (including, without limitation, heart conditions, seizure disorders/epilepsy, neck/back injuries, pregnancy, recent surgery, or any condition affected by flashing lights or rapid motion); and that the Participant will immediately stop participating if feeling unwell. I further represent that the Participant is not under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any other substance that may impair judgment or physical abilities.
I acknowledge that The Florida Council of 100, Inc. and The Florida Council of 100 Foundation, Inc. (collectively, "FL Council") makes no representations or warranties regarding the safety, condition, operation, or suitability of the Formula (F1) simulator, the Premises, or the Activity. Recognizing the possibility of injury or death associated with the Activity, and in consideration for FL Council paying the cost of the Activity and/or facilitating the Participant's opportunity to participate in the Activity, I agree as follows (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I agree to each of the following on behalf of myself and on behalf of the minor Participant):
- RELEASE OF LIABILITY; RELEASED PARTIES. I hereby release, waive, and discharge (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I release, waive, and discharge on behalf of myself and the minor Participant): (a) FL Council; and (b) FL Council's past, present, and future officers, directors, trustees, members, employees, volunteers, agents, contractors, representatives, event sponsors, insurers, attorneys, predecessors, successors, assigns, affiliates, and related entities; and (c) the operator(s), host venue(s), Premises owner(s)/lessor(s), equipment manufacturer(s), supplier(s), installer(s), maintenance provider(s), and all of their respective officers, directors, trustees, members, employees, volunteers, contractors, agents, representatives, insurers, attorneys, predecessors, successors, assigns, affiliates, and related entities (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, costs, and expenses of any kind, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or relating to the Participant's participation in or presence at the Activity, including, without limitation, claims for personal injury, illness (including exacerbation of pre-existing conditions), emotional distress, property damage, and wrongful death, whether arising from the negligence of any Released Party or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- ASSUMPTION OF RISK. I voluntarily assume (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I assume on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) all risks, known and unknown, foreseeable and unforeseeable, associated with the Activity and the Participant's presence on or around the Premises, including risks arising from the condition of the Premises, the acts or omissions of other participants or third parties, and equipment malfunction or mechanical failure. I assume these risks whether caused in whole or in part by the negligence of any Released Party or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- RELEASE BY HEIRS/ESTATE. In the event of injury, illness, incapacity, or death to the Participant, I release (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I release on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, actions, or lawsuits that may be asserted by or through the Participant, the Participant's spouse or partner, heirs, beneficiaries, devisees, assignees, guardians, personal representatives, or any person or entity claiming an interest in the Participant's estate.
- UNCONTROLLABLE EVENTS. I release (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I release on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) the Released Parties from liability or claims of any kind for injury, illness, death, or property damage resulting from events beyond the reasonable control of any Released Party, including without limitation severe weather, storms, lightning, flooding, fire, power outages, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, governmental orders, and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- INFORMED CONSENT. I acknowledge (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I acknowledge on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) that I have been informed and fully apprised of the risks, hazards, and dangers associated with the Activity and the Participant's presence on or around the Premises. I knowingly and voluntarily choose to participate (or allow the minor Participant to participate) and voluntarily assume responsibility for all risks and dangers associated with the Activity.
- NEGLIGENCE; MAXIMUM ENFORCEABILITY. I understand and agree (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I understand and agree on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) that this Agreement releases the Released Parties from claims based on their negligence to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to release any claim that cannot be released under applicable law; however, it is my intent that this Agreement be interpreted and enforced to provide the maximum lawful release, waiver, and assumption of risk.
- INDEMNITY; DEFENSE. I agree (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I agree on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation costs) arising out of or relating to (i) the Participant's participation in or presence at the Activity; (ii) any act or omission by the Participant or me; (iii) the Participant's violation of any instructions, posted rules, or safety requirements; (iv) any misrepresentation or breach of the representations in this Agreement; and/or (v) any claim brought by any third party (including the Participant's spouse/partner, family members, guests, heirs, or estate) arising out of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- COVENANT NOT TO SUE. I agree (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I agree on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) not to sue or initiate or assist in any claim or proceeding against any Released Party arising out of or relating to the Activity, to the fullest extent permitted by law. If this covenant is breached, I agree to be responsible for the Released Parties' costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in enforcing this covenant, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- RULES; INSTRUCTIONS; REFUSAL/REMOVAL. I agree (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I agree on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) to follow all verbal and written instructions, posted rules, and safety requirements of the Formula (F1) simulator operator and Premises personnel. I understand the Participant may be refused participation or removed from the Activity for safety, medical, behavioral, or operational reasons, and that such refusal/removal will not create liability for any Released Party.
- EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. If the Participant is injured or becomes ill, I authorize (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I authorize on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) the Released Parties to obtain or arrange emergency medical evaluation and treatment as deemed necessary. I understand the Released Parties have no duty to provide such care, and I am solely responsible for all related costs. I release (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I release on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) the Released Parties from any claim arising out of or relating to the provision of, or failure to provide, such assistance, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; SEVERABILITY. This legally binding Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Activity shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, and I consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in such courts. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall not be affected and shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon me and my heirs, personal representatives, administrators, and assigns.
- PHOTO/VIDEO/VOICE RELEASE. I hereby grant (and if signing on behalf of a minor, I grant on behalf of myself and the minor Participant) the Released Parties the absolute and irrevocable right and permission to photograph, video record, and/or voice record the Participant and to use the Participant's name, image, likeness, and voice in photographs, videos, publications, internet, news, social media and web pages for promotional, educational, or publicity purposes without further compensation, approval, or right to inspect or approve the finished product, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- ENTIRE AGREEMENT; RELIANCE. I understand and agree that this Agreement supersedes any prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject matter hereof and constitutes the entire agreement between the undersigned and the Released Parties regarding the Participant's participation in the Activity. I am not relying on any oral statements or representations.
I affirm that I have read this General and Unconditional Full Release and Waiver of Liability Agreement and I clearly understand the rights being waived. I have had sufficient time to read this document in its entirety and have clarified any questions or doubts before signing this document.
