RELEASE, WAIVER, ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

     In consideration of SS Tiki Tours providing me and other persons with access to its boat (the "Vessel") on a guided group tour on the Ohio River, I agree that I engage in such activities and use the boat at my own risk. To the fullest extent permissible by law and on behalf of myself and any person related to me in any way, I agree to release and discharge SS Tiki Tours and any person related to it in any way – as well as any business or person involved as a vendor, marina, or operator of the same - from any and all liability whatsoever for injuries, damages, claims or causes of action (known or unknown) arising out of their negligence or other fault. This includes without limitation injuries or damages which may result from the negligence of other guests or patrons; the negligent operation, maintenance, care, design or manufacture of the boat; the failure to prevent theft, assault, or other misconduct by others; wrongful death; and/or any other improper or negligent act or instruction, whether related to physical activity, drinking, or not. This release is not intended to release claims of gross negligence or SS Tiki Tours intentional torts. I fully understand that if any medical treatment is provided to me, with or without my consent, such treatment will be first aid type treatment, and I waive any and all claims or causes of action arising from or based upon the provision of such treatment. 

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

     I understand that my presence on or around the boat, my participation in any activities offered by SS Tiki Tours, and/or my consumption of alcoholic beverages or association with people who are consuming alcohol carry with them certain risks, known and unknown, including but not limited to the risk that I will sustain serious injury, temporary or permanent disability, death, and/or property damage, including but not limited to the following:

• Unanticipated changes in the weather and water conditions.
• Conduct of third parties at the launch and landing areas and in other vessels on the water.
• Exacerbation of medical conditions resulting from physical exertion.
• Falling into the water, whether or not wearing the provided personal flotation devices.
• Falling or slipping due to wet conditions or rough waters.  

     I understand that these risks cannot be completely eliminated without fundamentally altering the unique experience provided by the Vessel. I freely and knowingly accept all risk of bodily injury, sickness, death, property damage, and related expenses. Furthermore, I expressly assume all risk for any bodily injury, sickness, death, property damage, and related expenses resulting from my failure to use the provided personal flotation devices or from my consumption of alcohol while on the Vessel. I understand that SS Tiki Tours might not supervise activities that take place on the tour and that it does not provide medical services. I further acknowledge that any injury I might sustain might be compounded by negligent or delayed medical service. On behalf of myself and any person related in any way to me, I VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL RISKS AND DANGERS THAT MAY OCCUR, INCLUDING THE RISK OF INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

INDEMNIFICATION

     I hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless SS Tiki Tours and any person related in any way to it from and against any third party losses, damages, actions, suits, claims, judgments, settlements, awards, interest, penalties, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and costs of any kind for any personal injury(including pets), loss of life or damage to property relating in any way to my use of SS Tiki Tours services and equipment, my drinking, and/or my participation in the tour.
