I further understand and agree that any injury, illness (including communicable diseases), property damage, disability, or death that I may sustain by any means is my sole responsibility except for those occurrences due to the CENTENARY University’s negligence or intentional acts. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY: I, on behalf of myself, my personal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, agents, and assigns, HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Centenary University, Its governing board, directors, officers, employers, agents, volunteers, and any students (hereinafter referred to as “Releases”) for any and all liability, including any and all claims, demands, causes of action (known or unknown), suits, or judgements of any and every kind (including attorneys’ fees), arising from any injury, illness (including communicable diseases), property damage or death that I may suffer as a result of my own negligent acts. ASSUMPTION OF RISK: Under New Jersey law, a participant and spectator are deemed to assume the inherent risks of equine animal activities created by equine animals, weather conditions, conditions of trails, riding rings, training tracks, equestrians, and all other inherent conditions. Each participant is assumed to know the range of his or her ability and it shall be the duty of each participant to conduct himself or herself within the limits of such ability to maintain control of the equine animal and to refrain from acting in a manner which may cause or contribute to the injury of the participant or others, loss or damage to person or property, or death which results from the participation in an equine animal activity. WARNING: UNDER NEW JERSEY LAW, AN EQUESTRIAN AREA OPERATOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR AN INJURY TO OR THE DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT IN EQUINE ANIMAL ACTIVITIES RESULTING FROM THE INHERENT RISKS OF EQUINE ANIMAL ACTIVITIES, PURSUANT TO P.L. 1997, c.287 (C:5:15-1 et seq.) (“New Jersey Equestrian Law”).

I understand that Program/Activity activities involve certain risks, including but not limited to, death, serious neck and spinal injuries resulting in complete or partial paralysis, brain damages, and serious injury to virtually all bones, joints, muscles, and internal organs, and that protective equipment may be inadequate to prevent serious injury.

In addition, I understand that participation in the Program/Activity involves activities incidental thereto, including, but not limited to, travel to and from the site of the activity, participation at sites that may be remote from available medical assistance, and the possible reckless conduct of other participants. I understand that these potential risks include, but are not limited to; travel to and from Centenary University, via private vehicles, common carriers, and/or Centenary University owned vehicles, or local transportation, behavior of the equine animals, weather conditions, facility conditions, equipment conditions, negligent first aid operations or procedures of Releases, and other risks that are unknown at this time. I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, and assume full responsibility for my participation in the Program/Activity. INDEMNITY: I, on behalf of myself, my personal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, agents, and assigns, agree to hold harmless, defend and indemnify the Releases from any and all liability, including any and all claims; demands, causes of action (known or unknown), suits, or judgements of any and every kind (including attorneys’ fees), arising from any injury, property damage or death that I may suffer as a result of my participation in the Program/Activity, except to the extent the Releasee is liable under the New Jersey Equine Law. PERSONAL MEDICAL INSURANCE: I agree to purchase and maintain during the term of the Program/Activity personal medical insurance. I further acknowledge that I am responsible for the cost of any and all medical and health services I may require as a result of participating in the Program/Activity.

In the event of any medical emergency, I authorize and consent to the University contacting emergency and/or medical personnel and to any x-ray examination, anesthetic, medical, dental or surgical diagnosis or treatment, and hospital care that may be deemed necessary for my safety and protection.
