6. IRREVOCABLY GRANT to the Activity Sponsor the absolute right and permission to use any pictures, photographs, movies, images, videos, recordings, or motion pictures taken of me or my property by the Activity Sponsor (collectively the Images) and to further use any statements, quotes, recordings or testimonials made by me (collectively the Testimonials); To copyright the Images or Testimonials in the Activity Sponsors own name or in any name Activity Sponsor may choose; To use, re-use, publish, display or reproduce the Images or Testimonials in any medium and for any commercial purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, promotion, advertising, display, sale or trade, without restriction or limitation; To use my name in connection with the use of any such Images or Testimonials at the Activity Sponsors sole discretion; all without compensation, royalty or remuneration of any kind.

Rev. 08.04.10 - Waiver of Liability

Yes Gracie, this is the document I read. What do you think of what you read here? How or why should this waiver that we sign, effect our visitors??? In item #2 it says that even our visitors can't sue, because we signed this waiver, even if it is due to the negligence of the Activity specialists. This isn't just covering physical activities. I do believe that we ARE responsible, and have been given warning when we pursue a physical activity. It's all the other times that concerns me. It even states just "being present" at an activity you'd be responsible even if it's not your fault. I don't want to beat a dead horse. We each have to decide for ourselves, what we think is best. How about we all agree to be careful, and stay well. Trish
