The undersigned volunteer or the parent and/or guardian of the volunteer where volunteer is under age 18 (for himself/herself and his/her respective heirs, next-of-kin, personal representatives, successors and assigns) agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the MBSEF Affiliates from any and all claims and liability arising out of or in connection with the volunteer’s participation in, or volunteer work in connection with, the Activities or use of the Facilities, and for any damage to property of or personal injury to any third party, resulting from the volunteer’s participation in, or volunteer work in connection with, the Activities or use of the Facilities.
Express Assumption of Risks
I acknowledge that participation in, or volunteering in connection with, the Activities and use of the Facilities involve inherent risks that may cause serious injury and even death, including, but not limited to, the Risks, which include the “Inherent Risks of Skiing” under ORS 30.970.

Specifically, in consideration of participation in, or volunteering in connection with, the Activities and use of the Facilities, the undersigned agrees to not make any claim nor bring any suit for any damages, injury or death which the volunteer may suffer as a result of participation in, or volunteering in connection with, the Activities or use of the Facilities wherein one or more of the inherent risks associated with this activity constitutes a substantial factor in causing the damage or harm.
Choice of Law and Venue; Severability
