Release from Liability

Fishing can be an inherently risky activity.  These risks could include, but not necessarily be limited to, hooks, gaffs, fish spines and teeth, rough water, cold water, bad weather, sun exposure, etc.

I, ___________________________________________________________________(Print legibly), being of lawful age (or being under the care of :

_____________________________________________Parent or Guardian if not of lawful age), take responsibility for my own actions and release the Sea Trail Fishing Club, its members, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any and all liability for or by any reason of any damage, loss, or injury to person or property and even damage resulting in my death, which has been or may be sustained in consequence of my participation in the activities sponsored by the Sea Trail Fishing Club, even though such damage, loss, or injury may have been caused solely or partly by the negligence of the Club.  I understand that this subject is further explained in Section 9.1 of the Sea Trail Fishing Club Bylaws and Procedures Manual, and I agree to comply with the policy as explained in the Manual.  I understand that this waiver remains in effect continuously and at any location until such time as I am no longer a member of the Sea Trial Fishing Club and am therefore ineligible to participate in Club activities. 

I acknowledge and hereby agree that I have carefully read this waiver and release from liability agreement, that I firmly understand the same, and that I am freely and voluntarily executing the same.

By signing this waiver form and release of liability, I understand that I will be forever prevented from suing or otherwise claiming against the Sea Trail Fishing Club for any property damage or personal injury I may sustain while participating in or preparing for any activity of the Sea Trail Fishing Club.  I understand that this waiver is binding to me, my spouse, my heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, and assigns.

I acknowledge that I do not have any physical limitations or medical ailments, or any physical or mental disabilities that would limit or prevent me from participating in the Club’s activities.

This waiver and release of liability agreement will be construed and governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina.  I acknowledge that this waiver and release of liability is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by this jurisdiction.  I have read and understand this agreement and I am aware that by signing this agreement I am waiving certain legal rights which I or my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators, and assigns may have against the Sea Trail Fishing Club.
