Tours In Color - Acknowledgment of Risk

In consideration of the services of Tours In Color LLC, their officers, agents, employees, and drivers, and all other persons or entities associated with this business (hereafter collectively referred to as “TIC”) I agree as follows:

Although TIC has taken reasonable steps to provide me with the appropriate vehicle, equipment, and skilled guide(s) so I can enjoy the tour, TIC has informed me this tour, and its associated travel, is not without risk. Certain risks are inherent in each tour and cannot be eliminated without destroying the character of the tour. These inherent risks are some of the same elements that contribute to the character of this tour and can be the cause of loss or damage to my equipment, or accidental injury, illness, or in extreme cases, permanent trauma or death. TIC does not want to frighten me or reduce my enthusiasm for this tour, but believes it is important for me to know in advance what to expect and to be informed of the inherent risks. The following describes some, but not all, of those risks.

-Slips/trips/falls: falls into water, hydrothermal features, dangerous terrain, or from heights, etc.
-Wildlife: wildlife are unpredictable and may inflict harm
-Food and beverage: food and beverage during a tour may contain unknown disease or contaminants
-Climate: temperature and weather are unpredictable and may damage property or cause severe sunburn, heat stroke, frostbite, hypothermia, etc.

I am aware that participating in a tour entails risks of injury or death to any participant. I understand the description of these inherent risks is not complete and that other unknown or unanticipated inherent risks may result in injury or death. I agree to assume and accept full responsibility for the inherent risks identified herein and those inherent risks not specifically identified. My participation in this tour is purely voluntary; no one is forcing me to participate, and I elect to participate in spite of and with full knowledge of the inherent risks. I acknowledge that engaging in a tour may require a degree of skill and knowledge different from other activities and that I have responsibilities as a participant. I acknowledge that the staff of TIC has been available to more fully explain to me the nature and physical demands of this tour and the inherent risks, hazards, and dangers associated with this tour.

I certify that I am fully capable of participating in this tour. Therefore, I assume and accept full responsibility for myself, including all minor children in my care, custody, and control, for bodily injury, death, or loss of personal property and expenses as a result of those inherent risks and dangers identified herein and those inherent risks and dangers not specifically identified, and as a result of my negligence in participating in this activity. I have carefully read, clearly understood, and accepted the terms and conditions stated herein and acknowledge that this agreement shall be effective and binding upon me, my heirs, assigns, personal representative, and estate and for all members of my family, including minor children.
