Assumption of Risk: I have voluntarily applied to participate in the tour on which I am booked, which will involve biking, and/or other outdoor and adventure sports like trekking, horseback ride and navigation (“Adventure Activities”).

Release of Liability: As lawful consideration of, and as part of the payment for, the right to participate in the tour, and as part of the payment for the services arranged for me by Paseos en Bicicleta BikeTours, I HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN WELFARE AND ASSUME ALL OF THE ABOVE RISKS, INCLUDING BOTH THOSE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN TO ME.

As lawful consideration of, and as part of the payment for, the right to participate in the tour, and as part of the payment for the services arranged for me by Paseos en Bicicleta, I HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE TO RELEASE, DISCHARGE AND HOLD HARMLESS FOREVER Paseos en Bicicleta BikeTours, their owners, employees, shareholders, affiliated entities, employees, agents, representatives, officers, directors, associates, volunteers, successors and assigns from and against any liability, actions, causes of actions, debts, suits, claims and demands of any and every kind and nature whatsoever (excluding proven negligence) which I now have or which may hereafter arise out of or in connection with my tour or participation in the activities arranged for me by Paseos en Bicicleta BikeTours.

I AGREE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SERVE AS A COMPLETE RELEASE AND EXPRESS ASSUMPTION OF RISK for myself, all members of my family and all minors traveling with me, my and their heirs, successors, assigns, and legal representatives.

Indemnification: I further agree to “indemnify” (meaning to defend and to pay or reimburse) Paseos en Bicicleta BikeTours against any claim by any person, including minors, arising in whole or in part from an injury or other loss suffered or caused by me in connection with the expedition or my participation in the Adventure Activities.
