I acknowledge that travel may involve many risks not known to me LesbiFriends Travel which may not be foreseen or reasonably foreseeable by any of us at time or at the time of the trip in which I may participate, including, but not limited to terrorism, diseases, search and/or seizure of property by customs or other governmental authorities, personal liability, risk of personal injury to me including disability or death, damage to property belonging to me and others, differing customs and legal requirements. I knowingly and voluntarily agree to assume any and all risks associated with such travel. In exchange for being permitted to participate in the trip abroad I agree to the following:

I understand that LesbiFriends Travel serves only in a capacity of assisting in making arrangements for services and products to be provided by others in connection with the activity, and in no way serves as an agent or representative for these other parties, or accepts any responsibility or liability for their services or products. Such services and products are subject only to the terms and conditions under which they are provided by such other parties.

I, voluntarily and without reservation, and realizing the full legal significance of my action, hereby waive, renounce and release, on behalf of myself, my heirs and my estate, all claims of whatever nature against LesbiFriends Travel including, but not limited to, claims of any injury, loss, damage, accident, delay, irregularity or expense caused by strikes, war, weather, sickness, quarantine, government restrictions, or arising from any act or omission of any steamship, airline, railroad, bus company, hotel, restaurant, school or university, firm, agency or individual, or for any other cause whatsoever arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the above-referred trip abroad. Further, I accept personal responsibility for any injury (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, dismemberment and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability or expense, of any kind or nature that I or my property may suffer, and agree to release LesbiFriends Travel from any liability arising from any such risks.

I assume all risks associated with my participation in the trip abroad including, without limitation, the risk of any negligence or recklessness or failure to act, by other participants or others, and the risk of injury caused by the condition of any property, facilities or equipment used during the trip abroad, and I agree to waive, renounce, and release, on behalf of myself, my heirs and my estate, my claim against LesbiFriends Travel alleged to be caused by such negligent or reckless actions, or failure to act, or the condition of any property, facilities or equipment used during the travel program.

It is expressly understood and agreed that LesbiFriends Travel is not providing personal chaperones or supervision with respect to this trip and that I am responsible for my individual conduct, health and safety at all times. I agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless LesbiFriends Travel for any and all losses, expenses, claims, judgments and liabilities (including attorneys’ fees) of any nature arising out of, or in consequence of, my acts, words, conduct, etc. in connection with the trip abroad including, but not limited to, damage to property, any injuries or death sustained by any person(s).

I am in good health, have no physical conditions that affect my ability to travel and/or participate in any of the activities involved in this trip abroad, and have not been advised otherwise by a medical practitioner. In this regard, I have provided an emergency contact and any pertinent medical information. LesbiFriends Travel is in no way responsible for any costs or medical care. I also grant to LesbiFriends Travel full authority to take whatever action it deems is warranted under the circumstances regarding my health or safety in connection with my participation in this program, including the providing of any emergency first aid, medication, medical treatment, or surgery deemed necessary by medical personnel. This authority will permit LesbiFriends Travel, at its discretion, to place me, at my own expense, in a local hospital for medical services and treatment, or, if no hospital is available, to place me in the hand of a local medical doctor for treatment. LesbiFriends Travel is further authorized to fly me back home, at my own expense, for medical treatment if, in consultation with local medical authorities, this is deemed to be necessary. I also authorize medical personnel to execute any documents relating to medical attention and to act on my behalf, if I am unable to do so. LesbiFriends Travel reserves the right to suspend or terminate my participation in the trip abroad if it be deemed that my acts, words or conduct are detrimental to, or incompatible with, the interests, purpose or welfare of the trip abroad or of LesbiFriends Travel. This suspension or termination will in no way entitle me to a refund for any unused portion of the cost of the program. This Waiver is a legally binding agreement and will be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. Any provisions found to be void or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, including facsimile signatures, and all such counterparts shall constitute one agreement, binding upon all parties here to. I have read this document and I understand its content. I understand that by signing below, I have given up substantial rights. I have voluntarily signed this release.
