I fully acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in the Activities with knowledge of the danger involved, and I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES or others, and assume full responsibility for my participation.

If, however, I observe any unusual hazard during my presence or participation, I will immediately remove myself from participation in the Activities and bring such to the attention of the nearest official forthwith.

As such, my promise, representation and certification that I am in good health in each of the above-enumerated ways constitutes a material term upon which Jackie Johnstone RELEASEES are relying in permitting me to partake in the Activities.
(8) I hereby forever unconditionally and irrevocably waive and release any and all claims I now have or may in the future have against Jackie Johnstone RELEASEES with respect to any injury, loss or damage I suffer as a result of participating in the Activities or any of the future Activities in which I may participate.

(10) Although this Agreement fully and completely releases Jackie Johnstone RELEASEES from any and all liability of any kind and of any nature in any way connected to, arising from, or relating to the Activities at issue, I further acknowledge and agree that to the extent that I violate the plain terms of this Agreement by filing a claim, suit or other action against any of the Jackie Johnstone RELEASEES, any such claim, suit or other action shall be filed solely and exclusively before the American Arbitration Association, as governed by the Commercial Rules of Arbitration, with the initiating party bearing the fees and costs associated with arbitration, and with the prevailing party entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs associated with the arbitration. Any legal or equitable claim that may arise from participation in the above shall be resolved under California law.
(11) I acknowledge, understand, and agree that this Agreement, and all of the releases, terms and conditions contained herein, shall apply with equal force and govern any future Activities in which I partake with Jackie Johnstone or any of the other Jackie Johnstone RELEASEES, thus obviating the need for me to sign this Agreement each and every time I partake in the Activities.

(14) I have read this release of liability and assumption of risk agreement, fully understand its terms and I have either consulted an attorney or, at my sole discretion, elected not to do so.
(15) I understand that I am providing this release as consideration, in part, for participation in the Activities. As such, I understand that if I wish to alter or negotiate the terms of this Agreement, I may do so by speaking with one of Jackie Johnstone RELEASEES.

By agreeing to these terms, I acknowledge that if anyone is injured or killed, or if property is damaged, during my participation in the activities, I will be found by a court of law to have waived all right to maintain suit against any of Jackie Johnstone RELEASEES and/or that I will be found to be fully responsible for all attorney fees and all other costs incurred by Jackie Johnstone RELEASEES and/or that I will be found personally liable for any judgment, award or verdict entered against any of Jackie Johnstone RELEASEES.
