IN CONSIDERATION of being permitted to observe, work with, or participate in any way in the activities of the Silicon Valley Overland Robotics Association,. I hereby agree as follows:

1. I HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE the Silicon Valley Overland Robotics Association, its directors, members, sponsors, and affiliates. I release these persons (the "releasees") from all liability to myself, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin for any and all loss or damage, and claim or demands thereof on account of injury to the person or property or resulting death of the undersigned, whether caused by negligence of the releases or otherwise while participating in the activities of the Silicon Valley Overland Robotics Association..

2. I HEREBY ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR RISK OF BODILY INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE due to negligence of the releasees or otherwise while participating in the activities of the organization.

3. I HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE that I am voluntarily participating in the activities of the Association. I am not an employee of the Association, or of any of its directors or members. I understand that I am not entitled to workmens' compensation, and am not covered by workmens' compensation insurance.

I expressly acknowledge and agree that some activities of the Association are very dangerous and involve the risk of serious injury, death, and/or property damage. I further expressly agree that the foregoing release, waiver, and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State in which the event is conducted and that if any portion thereof is invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.

I HAVE READ AND VOLUNTARILY SIGNED THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY and further agree that no oral representations, statements or inducements apart from the foregoing written agreement has been made.
