I further confirm that I will comply with all instructions and any directions issued by The Adventure Running Company or any other authorised leader in relation to the safe and proper use of such equipment. 6 I acknowledge that engaging in the Trip can be physically and mentally demanding and may place me at risk of physical and/or mental harm.

I therefore recognise that my participation in the Trip is entirely at my own risk and that I will assume all risks of loss, damage, injury or death which may arise and/or be sustained. 8 I acknowledge that no guarantee can be given that the Trip will achieve its ultimate goal as this can be affected both by personal factors, such as my health and physical ability, and also by external factors, such as weather and mountain conditions. 8b I confirm that The Adventure Running Company is entitled at any time and for any reasonable reason to refuse to allow me to continue to participate in the Trip. 9 I acknowledge and agree that I will not hold The Adventure Running Company or any other company which The Adventure Running Company has engaged to assist in the Trip (together the “Parties”) liable for any illness, loss, injury or death sustained before, during or after my participation in the Trip and that I irrevocably indemnify and hold the Parties harmless from and against all costs and expenses (including legal costs), actions, proceedings, claims, demands and damage arising from a breach by myself of the undertakings contained herein or arising from any act or omission of myself. 10 Without prejudice to paragraph 9 above, I further acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will any of the Parties be liable for any actual or alleged indirect loss or consequential loss howsoever arising suffered by myself or any other and/or related third party (including my employer if applicable) including, but not limited to, loss of earnings, profits, business or opportunity or any other sort of economic loss. 11 I confirm that I understand the necessity to take out adequate insurance, to cover both personal injury and property, at my own expense in order to participate in the Trip, especially to cover the needs of air rescue from any location connected with the Trip, and that I will be solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining such insurance to cover all relevant risks of my participation in the Trip. 12 Subject to the Cancellation Policy set in the The Adventure Running Company Terms and Conditions, I confirm that I understand that all and any monies paid to The Adventure Running Company are non-refundable (except at the sole discretion of The Adventure Running Company) should I be unable to or decide for any reason not to participate in or continue with the Trip, or should I fail to arrive at the notified Trip rendezvous place, and that I am responsible for taking out any necessary insurance to cover against any loss incurred by me due to my having to cancel or withdraw from the Trip and/or not being able to participate in or continue with the Trip for any such reasons. 13 I confirm that it is my responsibility to arrange and pay for all travel costs and accommodation (except as expressly stated as included within the Trip Cost) and to ensure that I arrive at the notified Trip rendezvous place by the date and time designated. If I arrive late then it will be entirely my responsibility and at my cost if I choose to attempt to join the Trip late. I confirm that it is my responsibility to take out all necessary insurances against all and any matters relating to such travel including, without limitation, insolvency of any flight provider, cancelled flights and delays, and loss of and damage to my property.
