Washington Release, Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement in favor of a Lodge, Motel, or Hotel regarding Recreational Activities in an Adjacent River is a legal document designed to protect the lodge, motel, or hotel from potential lawsuits or claims of negligence resulting from the guests' participation in recreational activities in the nearby river. It aims to inform guests about the inherent risks associated with these activities and ensure that they understand and accept personal responsibility for any potential injuries or damages that may occur during their participation. The agreement consists of the following key components: 1. Identification of Parties: It begins by identifying the parties involved, such as the lodge, motel, or hotel, and the guest(s) who will be engaging in the recreational activities in the adjacent river. 2. Assumption of Risks: This section explicitly outlines the potential hazards and risks associated with the recreational activities, emphasizing that participating in these activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to drowning, injury, or loss of property. It is essential to use relevant keywords such as "river activities," "recreational hazards," "potential risks," etc. 3. Release of Liability: This clause explains that the guest acknowledges and assumes all risks related to the recreational activities and agrees to release the lodge, motel, or hotel from any liability for injuries, damages, or losses incurred during their participation. Keywords like "liability release," "waiver of claims," "hold harmless agreement," etc., can be incorporated. 4. Indemnification: This segment states that the guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the lodge, motel, or hotel from any claims, demands, or lawsuits arising out of their participation in the recreational activities. Keywords such as "indemnity agreement," "reimbursement of costs," "defense against claims," etc., can be included. 5. Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment: It is crucial to include a provision that grants permission for the lodge, motel, or hotel to seek emergency medical treatment in case of any injuries sustained during the activities. Different types of Washington Release, Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreements may vary based on the specific recreational activities offered at the lodge, motel, or hotel. For instance, if the lodge offers kayaking, fishing, or tubing in the river, separate clauses or addendums can be added to address the specific risks associated with each activity. These variations cater to different recreational offerings while maintaining the overall intention of protecting the establishment from legal liability.
