Release of Claims, Indemnity and Hold Harmless Agreement

I, hereby acknowledge that participation in recreation activities coordinated by the Town of Harwich or use of Town of Harwich recreational facilities is voluntary and may expose me, my child(ren) or my property to risks resulting from the use of the Town’s facilities and equipment by myself, my child(ren) and other volunteers. Therefore, in consideration of the opportunity to participate in recreation activities coordinated by the Town of Harwich or use any of the Town’s recreational facilities, and for other good and valuable consideration hereby acknowledged, I agree to forever RELEASE the Town of Harwich, its employees, agents, officers, and volunteers (the “Releasees”), from any and all claims, actions, rights of action and causes of action, damages, costs, expenses, compensation and attorneys’ fees that may have arisen in the past, or may arise in the future, directly or indirectly, from known and unknown personal injuries to myself, my child(ren) or property damage resulting from my or my child(ren)’s participation in recreation activities coordinated by the Town of Harwich or use of the Town’s recreational facilities which I or my heirs, successors, or assigns may have as the result of my participation in such activities or uses.

I further acknowledge that participation in recreation activities coordinated by the Town of Harwich or use of its recreational facilities may expose others or their property to risks resulting from myself, my child(ren) and other volunteers. I therefore also promise to INDEMNIFY, REIMBURSE, DEFEND, and HOLD HARMLESS the Releasees against any and all legal claims and proceedings of any description that may have been asserted in the past, or may be asserted in the future, directly or indirectly, including claims for damages, costs and attorneys’ fees, by others or by me or my heirs, successors, or assigns arising from personal injuries to myself or others or property damage resulting from my participation in such activities or uses. 

I hereby further covenant for myself, my heirs, successors and assigns not to sue said Releasees on account of any such claim, demand or liability.
