Perennial: Assumption of Risk, Waiver and Release of Liability and Agreement
I wish to obtain certain training and instruction from Perennial (St. Louis), which may involve the use of various
tools and equipment, such as hammers, saws, pliers, box cutters, and the like (the “Training”). In consideration
of being able to participate in any way in the Training (as defined below):
1. I represent that I understand the nature of the activities involved in the Training. I am fully aware of the
risks and hazards connected with these activities, and voluntarily accept and assume full responsibility
for all risks of loss, property damage, death and personal injury that may be sustained by me as a result
of volunteering for or otherwise participating in the Training, whether caused by the negligence,
carelessness or strict liability of a “Released Party” (as defined below) or otherwise. The risks include,
without limitation, those caused by condition of participants and equipment, my skill using the
equipment and actions of other people. In addition to these potential risks, I understand that there are
also unpredictable dangers involved with athletic activities. Understanding the inherent risks and
dangers of participating in the Training, I represent that to the best of my knowledge that I have no
medical, physical, and/or emotional health condition which would hinder or prevent, whatsoever, my
participation in the Training and have not been advised to not participate in the Training by a qualified
medical person.
2. I, for myself, and on behalf of my family members, heirs, assigns, successors, personal representatives,
executors and next of kin, hereby fully and forever release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue
Perennial, and its present and future affiliates, members, administrators, directors, shareholders, officers,
employees, volunteers, representatives and agents and all other parties and persons connected with
the Training in any way (each a “Released Party” and collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and
all liability, loss, claims, demands, actions and causes of action whatsoever, present or future, whether
the same be known or unknown, anticipated, or unanticipated, arising out of or related to any loss,
damage or injury, that may be sustained by me, or to any property belonging to me, or resulting in
death, as a result of my participation in the Training, that are caused by the negligence, carelessness or
strict liability of any Released Party or otherwise.
3. I agree that if, despite the foregoing, I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim against any of the
Released Parties, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless each of the Released Parties from any loss,
liability, damage, or cost which any Released Party may incur as a result of such claim.
4. I acknowledge receipt of all rules and regulations governing the Training and agree to comply with all
such rules and regulations.
5. I agree that this Assumption of Risk, Waiver and Release of Liability and Agreement is intended to be as
broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the county in which the Training is conducted and the
State of Missouri and that if any portion hereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall continue
in full legal force and effect.
