NEW YORK BOULDERING PROJECT, LLC
RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
What you are about to read and are requested to sign is a waiver and release of liability. Upon signing it, you will give up your right to sue New York Bouldering Project, LLC (“BP”) or anyone associated with BP for injuries or losses you suffer while using BP facilities or while  participating in activities at BP facilities, including but not limited to facilities at 575 Degraw Street in Brooklyn, New York.
Please take your time and read this agreement very carefully. When you are certain that you understand the importance of each  paragraph, sign your initials in the space provided. Sign the document only after you have read and understand everything. If you have  any questions about the agreement, consult your attorney. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES WITH BP OR AT BP FACILITIES WITHOUT THE SIGNED WAIVER
I UNDERSTAND THAT SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT WILL PREVENT ME, MY HEIRS, EXECUTORS, DEPENDENTS, BENEFICIARIES AND  ASSIGNS FROM SUING BP, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR GUESTS FOR ANY INJURIES,  INCLUDING DEATH AND PARALYSIS, OR DAMAGES THAT I MIGHT RECEIVE WHILE PARTICIPATING IN ANY ACTIVITIES WITH BP OR AT  BP FACILITIES.


1. RISKS
I understand that there is a significant risk of serious physical injury, death and other damages inherent, natural and reasonably  foreseeable in indoor and outdoor climbing, bouldering and physical fitness training activities, and that risk can also arise from potential  negligence of BP or third parties, and in my use of BP facilities and instruction relating to these activities. These risks and hazards can  include, but are not limited to:
Injuries arising from falling and striking objects or other people;
Being struck by falling objects or people;
Failure of any part or all of the climbing structures, flooring systems, building or training and fitness apparatus;
Defective, worn, uneven, separated or additional flooring or pads, including without limitation where such   hazards are concealed by flaps or other coverings;
Hazards created by additional pads or Velcro or other connection mechanisms used to connect pads;
Falling and failing to land on a pad or landing in between pads or in the seams of pads, whether such seams are covered or not;
Landing on a pad and nonetheless suffering an injury;
Failure and/or breakage of climbing holds;
Failure of climbing hold anchoring systems and hardware;
Falling because of improper use of safety, training or exercise equipment;
Injury resulting from lack of spotting or inadequate spotting;
Injuries related to fitness training classes including without limitation yoga classes;
Risks associated with walking on streets and sidewalks to access BP facilities;
Strained or sprained muscles, joints and connective tissue;
Broken bones;
Personal injury including paralysis, death, illness, property damage, and other losses.
I further understand that some BP facilities may be available 24 hours a day, and that some of those operating times may be without staff  supervision or observation of BP facilities and that I may encounter additional risks during that time. Injury or death can arise from errors  in judgment, from lack of training or information, from the negligence of me, employees or agents of BP or other parties, as well as the risks  normally associated with athletic endeavors. There is no way to eliminate the risk of serious harm or death. I understand that my use of  BP facilities and any instruction or knowledge I obtain at those facilities IS NOT sufficient to prepare me for the dangers and risks of indoor  and outdoor climbing.

2. I ASSUME ALL RISKS.

I CERTIFY THAT I UNDERSTAND CLIMBING, BOULDERING AND PHYSICAL FITNESS TRAINING ACTIVITIES, EXPOSE ME TO A HIGH RISK  OF INJURY OR ACCIDENT. I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS. THIS INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO THOSE RISKS CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF BP AND THOSE RISKS ENUMERATED IN THIS DOCUMENT, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN,  OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH OR DAMAGE OF WHATEVER KIND ARISING OUT OF MY USE OF BP FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT OR MY  PARTICIPATION IN ANY ACTIVITY AT BP FACILITIES OR SPONSORED BY BP.


3. I WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL CLAIMS. 

I recognize that BP could not offer this activity without obtaining a release of liability.

I agree to pay the reasonable  attorneys' fees and all other costs of all parties if I bring a suit for injuries suffered at BP and that action is unsuccessful, in whole or in part.  Additionally, in consideration of, and part payment for my right to participate in a BP-sponsored activity, I EXPRESSLY AGREE NOT TO SUE  BP, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, INSTRUCTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND GUESTS AND HEREBY WAIVE ALL  CLAIMS AND LIABILITIES AGAINST BP AND THOSE PARTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS FOR NEGLIGENCE ARISING  FROM MY (OR THE MINOR’S) PARTICIPATION IN CLIMBING ACTIVITIES OR USE OF BP FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT.
