The Tahoe-Pyramid Trail is a project which endeavors to acquire and construct a bike and pedestrian route from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake following the Truckee River, on public, private and tribal lands. I recognize that signing this Volunteer Check-in Form constitutes an agreement to all of the following provisions:

In signing this Volunteer Check-in Form, I acknowledge and understand that during my participation in a volunteer activity for the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail I may be exposed to a variety of hazards and risks, foreseen and unforeseen, which are inherent in such volunteer activities. I further acknowledge and understand that there are risks of injury associated with surveying a proposed trail, constructing a trail, maintaining a trail, posting signage on that trail, and other trail-related tasks so that, despite reasonable precautions, I could become injured. These inherent risks include, but are not limited to, the dangers of serious personal injury, property damage, and death (“Injuries and Damages”) from use of heavy and dangerous tools in remote places from which it may be difficult to access medical care. I acknowledge that the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail has not tried to contradict or minimize my understanding of these risks. I know that Injuries and Damages can occur by natural causes or activities of other persons, animals, volunteers, either as a result of negligence or because of other reasons. I appreciate that I may have to exercise extra care for my own person and for others around me in the face of such hazards. I further understand that during a volunteer activity for the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail, there may not be rescue or medical facilities nearby or expertise necessary to deal with the Injuries and Damages for which I may be exposed.

In consideration for my acceptance as a participant in this volunteer activity on behalf of the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail, I, and my heirs, administrators, and assigns, hereby release, remise, waive, hold harmless, and forever discharge the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail Inc. and its employees, directors, agents, volunteers and individuals involved with the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail and the owner or lessee of any property on which I may perform volunteer activities or cross over during a volunteer activity from any and all losses, injuries, damages, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action of any sort arising out of or in connection with this volunteer activity or my participation in this volunteer activity, including, but not limited to, injury to my person or property. By the foregoing release and waiver, I understand and agree that I may not bring any lawsuit against the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail Inc. and the other named parties listed above arising out of or in connection with my participation in a volunteer activity. The foregoing release and waiver shall survive the end of my participation in this volunteer activity. Furthermore, I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail Inc. from any claims and demands by others arising out of my activities on behalf of the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail for which I may be legally responsible.

In signing this Volunteer Check-in Form, I further confirm my understanding that this agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by law. If any provision or any part of any provision in this agreement is held to be invalid or legally unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain valid and fully enforceable. I acknowledge that I have read this document in its entirety, and I freely and voluntarily assume all risks associated with a volunteer activity on behalf of the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail, and notwithstanding such risks, I agree to participate as a volunteer.

In signing this waiver, I also agree to allow Tahoe-Pyramid Trail to use photographs of me taken on this volunteer day in any Marketing or Media campaign that supports and/or promotes the trail.
