Thanks a ton, DevilDog. I think I'll rewrite it, uh, right now! ;D
EDIT: A parent's permission line will be added, too, for ours.
EDITED AGAIN: Check "owed" to "owned" in the beginning somewhere.
EDITED YET AGAIN: Here's my draft...I like it.
DISCLAIMER, WAIVER, AND RELEASE FROM LIABILITY
By signing below, I am hereby agreeing to the following terms and conditions:
Foxtrot-Lima Airsoft Group (hereinafter “FLAG”) is an organization that provides its customers/patrons with the opportunity to participate in simulated combat against other individuals, whether organized in groups, clubs, teams, or as individuals. This simulated combat may take place on structures/property/land owned by either FLAG or on structures/property/land owned by third parties that lease/provide said property to FLAG. NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IS MADE AS TO THE CONDITION, SUITABILITY, OR HAZARDS OF ANY STRUCTURES/ PROPERTY/LAND OWNED OR UTILIZED BY FLAG OR THOSE OWNED BY ANY THIRD PARTY.
The weapons used by the patrons of FLAG utilize pressurized air, pressurized carbon dioxide, or other similar means to fire small projectiles at other patrons so as to simulate a combat experience. These projectiles are intended by their respective manufacturers to be non-lethal and non-injurious. NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IS MADE, HOWEVER, AS TO THE NON-LETHALITY OR NON-INJURIOUS NATURE OF THESE PROJECTILES.
The owners, managers, employees, agents, and patrons of FLAG are novices, not trained combat professionals. As such, it is anticipated that patrons of FLAG may encounter the improper use of tactics and/or weapons by others. NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IS MADE AS TO THE ABILITIES OR QUALIFICATIONS OF THE OWNERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR PATRONS OF FLAG. PATRONS ARE WARNED THAT THEY MAY ENCOUNTER DANGEROUS CONDITIONS CAUSED BY THE IMPROPER USE OF TACTICS AND/OR WEAPONS BY OTHERS.
All patrons are hereby advised that participation in simulated combat is inherently dangerous. Dangers to patrons may include, but are in no way limited to: being struck by a fired projectile, being struck by a fired projectile in an improper location on a patron’s body or in an improper manner, or falling down due to or being struck by rocks, trees, branches, and other naturally occurring objects. Injuries to a patron’s body may include, but are in no way limited to: death, joint or limb injury, eye injury, infectious disease, concussion, or blindness. ALL PATRONS ARE SPECIFICALLY ADVISED AND WARNED TO COMPLY WITH ALL VERBAL AND WRITTEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND POSTINGS, TO PROPERLY USE SAFETY GEAR, AND TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN A SAFE MANNER AT ALL TIMES. FURTHER, ANY PATRON FOUND, UNDER THE SOLE DISCRETION OF FLAG, TO BE CONDUCTING HIMSELF/HERSELF IN AN IMPROPER OR UNSAFE MANNER SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE ACTIVITIES THEN BEING SANCTIONED BY FLAG.
By signing below, the named patron and his/her heirs, assigns, and representatives, hereby acknowledge and agree to abide by the above-noted statements and hereby release and forever discharge FLAG, their owners, employees, managers, agents, their successors and assigns, and all third-party owners owning structures/property/land utilized by FLAG from any and all liability for any injuries and/or damages, whether known or unknown, occurring to them as a consequence or result of participating in any activities sanctioned or conducted by FLAG. Further, the named patron hereby agrees to voluntarily waive any and all personal or subject matter jurisdiction of any local, state or federal court and that, in the event patron or his/her heirs, assigns, or representatives choose to claim injury or damage as a result of patron’s participation in any activity sanctioned or conducted by FLAG, any and all claims for injury or damage of any kind, whether known or unknown, shall be brought before a mediator chosen solely by FLAG and that the outcome of said mediation session shall be binding upon all parties and shall not be subject to appeal of any kind.
