MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT AND RELEASE
 I hereby apply for participation in the Women’s Mountain Biking Association of Colorado Springs, a Colorado non-profit corporation (“WMBA of COS”). I understand that WMBA of COS coordinates cycling activities for its members for the advancement of the sport, which will be a direct benefit to me.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CYCLING IS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS SPORT AND INVOLVES RISKS AND DANGERS OF DAMAGE AND INJURY TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY.

I understand that these risks and dangers may be caused by my own acts or omissions, the conduct of others participating in the activity, or the conditions and circumstances surrounding the activity, including acts of nature. I fully accept and assume all such risks and dangers and all responsibility for losses, costs, damages and injury I may incur as a result of, or in connection with my membership and participation in WMBA of COS.

By signing this document, I fully, completely and without reservation release, acquit, forever discharge and promise to hold WMBA of COS, its directors, agents, employees, representatives, successors and assigns, harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages and injuries of any kind that I may incur as a result of, or in connection with my membership and participation in WMBA of COS (except any claims, losses, damages or injuries that directly result from the gross negligence or intentional acts of WMBA of COS, its directors, agents, employees, representatives, successors or assigns).

I represent that based upon a physical examination within the last twelve (12) months by a medical provider licensed in the State of Colorado, to the best of my knowledge I have no medical or physical condition that would prohibit, adversely impact, or increase the risks and dangers inherently associated with my membership and participation in WMBA of COS.

In addition, I waive any right to inspect or approve the finished product wherein my likeness appears. Additionally, I waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising or related to the use of the photo. I understand and agree that all photos shared publicly by me to WMBA's social media pages may be reposted or used by WMBA on WMBA’s social media platforms or in other media formats, i.e. newsletter, print media. 

I hereby hold harmless, release, and forever discharge the WMBA of Colorado Springs from all claims, demands, and causes of action which I, my heirs, representatives, executors, administrators, or any other persons acting on my behalf or on behalf of my estate have or may have by reason of this authorization.
