I am fully aware of dangers and risks involved in the selected Global Entrepreneur program (herein referred to as "the Activity") which include, but are not limited to the following dangers and risks: (1) air travel (2) motor vehicle accidents, (3) food-and water-borne illnesses, (4) extreme weather events or acts of God, (5) unforeseen criminal events, and I choose to voluntarily participate in the Activity with full knowledge that the Activity may expose me to such dangers and risks. I THEREFORE AGREE TO VOLUNTARILY ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL SUCH DANGERS AND RISKS to which I may be exposed as a result of participating in the Activity.
As consideration for being allowed to participate in the Activity, which is sponsored by Abilene Christian University ("ACU"), I HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, HOLD HARMLESS, AND INDEMNIFY ACU (and its Board of Trustees, officers, employees, agents, volunteers and students) from any and all liability, claims, demand, suits, costs, and care received following an injury, death or property damage sustained by myself or others, except for loss, harm, or injury caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct by ACU (or its Board of Trustees, officers, employees, agents, volunteers, or students).
I further understand and agree that this agreement is to be binding on my family, heirs, assigns, and personal representatives.
I certify that I am physically and mentally able to participate in the Activity, I understand that if I am at all uncertain about my ability to participate in this Activity, it is my obligation to consult my personal physician. In the case of a medical emergency occurring during my participation in the Activity, ACU (and its employees or agents) may (but is not obligated to) take any actions to secure whatever treatment it considers to be warranted under the circumstances regarding my health and safety. Such actions do not create a special relationship between ACU and me. I agree to be solely responsible for any costs related to that treatment.
Texas law governs this agreement, and I understand that this agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by Texas law. If any portion of this agreement is invalid, I agree that the remaining provisions shall continue to be in full force and effect.
