We’re so glad you’d like to join us for Boots ‘n’ Brews!  Please read the following and acknowledge your agreement to these Terms by filling out the form at the bottom of the page.

I would like to participate in the hike (the “Hike”) organized by the Friends of the Blue Hills (“Friends”). I am aware that participation in a Friends’ Hike involves risk, including, but not limited to, the hazards of walking on rocky terrain, possible interaction with wildlife and physical exertion.  I hereby state that I am physically capable of participating in the Hike.  I also agree to comply with all DCR rules and regulations.

Therefore, notwithstanding the risks of participating in the Hike set forth and as described above, and in consideration of the Friends:

• I AGREE TO ASSUME AND ACCEPT ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HIKE; AND
• I HEREBY RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE AND COVENANT AND AGREE NOT TO SUE, AND AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS, THE FRIENDS AND ITS  DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS  (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASEES”), AND EACH OF THE RELEASEES, FROM AND AGAINST AND IN REGARD TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, SUITS, LOSSES, COSTS, DAMAGES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ATTORNEYS’ FEES), AND ANY AND ALL  LIABILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF EVERY KIND AND DESCRIPTION, WHICH I SHALL OR MAY HAVE AGAINST THE RELEASEES OR ANY ONE OR MORE OF THEM ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, MY PARTICIPATION IN THE HIKE. 

I agree that this Release and Assumption of Risk shall be (a) binding upon me and my heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, and assigns, and (b) deemed a contract made under seal under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of said Commonwealth without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.

I have carefully read, understand, and voluntarily sign this release and assumption of risk.
