The Release and Indemnity Agreement

I, (your name here), hereby state that I wish to participated in courses and/or activities offered by ONE STEP AT A TIME (HEREIN REFERRED TO AS OSAT), a nonprofit organization.  I recognize that any outdoor activity may involve certain dangers, including but not limited to the hazards of traveling in mountainous terrain, accidents of illnesses in remote places, forces of nature, and the actions of participants and other persons.  I fully recognize that mountain climbing and other activities offered by OSAT are VERY DANGEROUS, and participation involves risks and dangers that may result in SERIOUS INJURY, PARALYSIS, DISABILITY, or DEATH.  I further understand and agree that without some program providing protection to it's leaders, OSAT would not be able to offer it's courses and activities.

In consideration of and as part payment for the right to participate in the activities offered by OSAT, I agree to RELEASE, HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY OSAT and its members from any and all liability, claims and causes of action arising out of or in any way connected with my participation, or the participation of any minor that I am signing on behalf of, in any activities offered by OSAT.  I personally assume all risks in connection with these activities. IF I am signing on behalf of a minor, I further agree to HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY OSAT and its members from all liability, claims and causes of action which the minor may have arising from the minor's participation in activities.

The terms of this agreement shall serve as a release and indemnity agreement for my heirs, personal representative, and for all members of my family, including any minors. (Parents or legal guardians must sign for all persona under eighteen [18] years of age.)
