Preservation Detroit Liability Release
Preservation Detroit offers tours of historic districts in Detroit. In an urban setting, there are always inherent dangers in a walking tour. Preservation Detroit’s focus is making each tour a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. By reserving tickets and/or participating in a tour or event you affirm that you and attendees accompanying you fully understand and agree to the following:
1. I understand and accept, without limitation, sole responsibility for all of the risks associated with my participation while on the tour, including injury and death whether through my own actions or those of other participants, tour guides, pedestrians, members of the public, automobiles, public transportation, acts of nature or any other external parties.
2. I understand and agree that the safety and well-being of minors under the age of 18 accompanying me or my party are my sole responsibility.
3. I represent that I am in good health and capable of walking outdoors for up to 2.5 hours, regardless of weather. I am encouraged to wear proper clothing, use sunscreen, and stay hydrated throughout the tour. I am sufficiently self-aware to stop physical activity before I become ill or injured.
4. If while on the tour I begin to feel unwell, I will notify the tour guide and seek medical attention if necessary. I understand that my safety is my sole responsibility. I understand that while on the tour I may become injured or harmed. I assume sole responsibility for this risk and release Preservation Detroit from all liability or damages resulting from my participation.
5. I understand and agree that the tour leader reserves the right to disqualify anyone at any time during the tour if he or she feels the tour participant is incapable and/or if a tour member’s continued participation will jeopardize the individual involved or the group. Refunds will not be provided under such circumstances.
6. I am aware that streets along the tour route are open to vehicular traffic and I will obey all laws/regulations regarding both traffic and pedestrians. I am aware that sidewalks may have uneven pavement or broken areas, curbs may be uneven, steps may be steep or slippery, and grassy areas may be uneven, so I must pay attention to where I am walking.
7. I waive liability and release Preservation Detroit, its affiliates, owners, vendors, operators, agents, and employees from any and all actions, suits, claims, controversies, damages, judgments, and executions whatsoever, in law or in equity, direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which I may have or acquire, arising from, concerning or related to entry in, travel to or from and/or participation in Preservation Detroit events.
8. I agree that Preservation Detroit is not liable for delay or cancellation resulting from acts of fire, medical emergency, natural disaster, strikes, or civil disturbance.
