I understand that these risks may result from the actions, negligence and failure to act of myself and others (including but not limited to other individuals in attendance at the Event/Activity and the Released Parties, as defined below) and from the condition of any property, facilities or equipment used. I also understand that there may be risks involved that are not known to me or to the Released Parties and may not be foreseen or reasonably foreseeable by any of us at this time or at the time of the Event/Activity. I agree to assume all of the foregoing risks, which risks may include, among other things, injuries as well as the risk of any negligence by other participants or by the Released Parties, and the risk of injury caused by the condition of any property, facilities or equipment used during the Event/Activity, and accept personal responsibility for any injury, illness, damage, loss, claim, liability or expense, of any kind or nature, that I or my property may suffer arising out of or in connection with my participation in the Event/Activity. On my own behalf, and on behalf of my heirs, executors, administrators and next of kin, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, and forever discharge the Released Parties of and from all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any nature (“Claims”) arising out of or in any way connected with my participation in the Event/Activity, and further agree to indemnify and hold each of the Released Parties harmless from and against any and all such Claims including, but not limited to, all attorneys' fees and disbursements up to and including any appeal. I understand that this release and indemnity includes any Claims based on the negligence, action or inaction of any of the Released Parties and covers bodily injury (including death), property damage, and loss by theft or otherwise, whether suffered by me before, during or after such participation. For the purposes hereof, the “Released Parties” are Come Out With Pride, Inc., and their respective parent, subsidiary, affiliated or related companies; the Benefited Charitable Organization, the sponsors of the Event/Activity, Event contractors, and each of their respective parent, subsidiary, affiliated or related companies; and the officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, sub-contractors, representatives, successors, assigns, and volunteers of each of the foregoing entities. VOLUNTEER CODE OF CONDUCT I also acknowledge that at all times I am acting as a volunteer in order to benefit the Benefited Charitable Organization and that I am not acting as an employee of, and do not expect to receive compensation from, any of the above Released Parties. Therefore, I shall not be entitled to participate in, or to receive any benefits from, any employee benefit or welfare plans maintained by any of the above Released Parties.

Additionally, I authorize medical treatment for me, at my cost, if the need arises; however, I acknowledge that the Released Parties shall have no duty, obligation or liability arising out of the provision of, or failure to provide, medical treatment. PUBLICITY RIGHTS: I further grant the Released Parties the right to photograph, record and/or videotape me and further to display, edit, use and/or otherwise exploit my name, face, likeness, Event/Activity results and standings (as more fully described below), voice, and appearance, in all media, whether now known or hereafter devised, (including, without limitation, in computer or other device applications, online webcasts, television programming, motion pictures, films, newspapers, and magazines) and in all forms including, without limitation, digitized images or video, throughout the universe in perpetuity, whether for advertising, publicity, or promotional purposes, including, without limitation, publication and use of Event/Activity results and standings (including but not limited to name, bib number, if applicable, age, times, if applicable, gender, “hometown”, or other standard Event/Activity results), without compensation, residual obligations, reservation or limitation, or further approval, and I assign absolutely to The Benefited Charitable Organization the entire right, title and interest (including performer’s rights and all intellectual property rights) in such recordings of me at the Event without further liability to or acknowledgement of me. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties for any Claims associated with such grant and right to use.
