GENERAL ASSUMPTION OF RISK & RELEASE OF LIABILITY Caution: This is a release of legal rights. Read and understand it before accepting these terms by agree- ing to abide by all resort Rules & Regulations, of which this is incorporated. Cal-Am Resorts operates Recreational Vehicle Resorts throughout the State of Arizona. References to Cal-Am Resorts (\"Cal-Am\") include all of the Cal-Am Recreational Vehicle Resorts in the State of Arizona, the individual entities that own them, the entities that manage them, their officers, officials, employees, volunteers, contractors, agents, and assigns. Each Resort offers a wide variety of recreational and other amenities for use by its residents. These include (without limi- tation), therapy spas, hot tubs, swimming pools, exercise facilities, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, and facilities within clubhouses and in other areas of the Resort. These facilities include such things as wood working shops, weight rooms, lapidary shops and the like. Each Resort also offers organized activities. These include entertainment performances, pickleball tennis and other sports tournaments, swimming classes, exercise classes, dance classes, and field trips. Some activities are organized and spon- sored by the Resort; others by voluntary resident associations. Some activities entail payment of an additional fee to par- ticipate. Cal-Am Resorts are “dog friendly”. Additionally some are located in areas where certain varieties of wildlife may be en- countered. I/we, by electing to reside in a Cal-Am Recreational Vehicle Resort, may participate in one, some or all of the activities referred to above, and to use some or all of the facilities and amenities offered by any Cal-Am Resort as described above. In consideration of my participation in activities or use of facilities and amenities, I agree as follows: RISKS INVOLVED: I agr ee to closely inspect all facilities befor e using them. I under stand that some facilities such as therapy spas, hot tubs, swimming pools, exercise rooms, wood working shops, and other facilities represent a risk to health and safety. I understand that some activities such as tennis, swimming, pickleball, jogging, and participation in exercise, dance and swimming classes can be strenuous and can also pose a risk to my health and wellbeing. With respect to such activities I understand that I will participate only in those which I am medically and physically able to. I under- stand that some activities involve risks in traveling to, within, and/or returning from different areas, including, but not lim- ited to, political, legal, social, and economic conditions; different standards of design, safety, and maintenance of build- ings, public places, and conveyances; and local medical and weather conditions. I agree that in deciding to use any facility or participate in any activity, I will make my own investigation, will obtain materials from a variety of sources, and am willing to accept these risks. I understand the risks posed by animals and agree to use care when outside in a Resort espe- cially when encountering dogs or wildlife. HEALTH AND SAFETY: I have been advised to consult with a medical doctor with r egar d to my per sonal medical needs. I state that there are no health-related reasons or problems that preclude or restrict my participation in any activities that I elect to participate in or use any facilities that I choose to use. I have obtained all required and recommended immun- izations, if any. I recognize that Cal-Am is not obligated to attend to any of my medical or medication needs, and in fact may expressly instruct its employees to not attend to such needs, and I assume all risk and responsibility therefore. In case of a medical emergency occurring during my participation in any activities or use of any facility, I understand that I may receive no as- sistance from Cal-Am employees or volunteers, I am responsible for my own medical treatment and emergency care as needed, and agree to pay all expenses relating thereto and release and agree to hold harmless, defend and indemnify Cal- Am from all liability of any nature whatsoever for any actions. ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY: Knowing the r isks descr ibed above, and in voluntar y consideration of being permitted to participate in the activities and use the facilities and amenities referred to above, I agree to release, indemnify, and defend Cal-Am and its officials, officers, employees, agents, volunteers, sponsors, and contractors from and against any claim which I, the participant, my legal guardian or any other person may have for any losses, damages or injuries arising out of or in connection with my participation or use. I also agree to fully acquaint all guests and invitees I permit to engage in such activities and/or use these facilities, with the foregoing and to defend, indemnify and hold Cal-Am harmless from any claims by any such guest or invitee arising out of such use or activity. I expressly understand that this assumption of risk and release of liability also applies to injury resulting from encounters with dogs, wildlife and other animals in the Resort. SIGNATURE: I indicate that by my r esidence at this Resor t, and/or signatur e on the Resor t r egistr ation car d, that I have read the terms and conditions of participation and use, and agree to abide by them. I have carefully read this Release Form and acknowledge that I understand it.
