WAIVER / ASSUMPTION OF RISK / RELEASE OF LIABILITY

You agree to assume all risks of participating in the Con and release BusterCon and Mythos Busters LLC, as well as its officers, directors, employees, insurers, and agents from any liability for loss, damage, or injury (including illness, disability or death) to your person and property while attending, participating in, or becoming involved with the Con. You specifically make the following representations and assurances to BusterCon, acknowledging that BusterCon would not permit your participation in the Con without receiving such representations and assurances:

By agreeing to this Agreement, you acknowledge that you wish to participate in BusterCon subject to the terms and conditions herein. You acknowledge and agree that the Con involves some inherently dangerous activities. BusterCon will use good faith efforts to conduct and manage the Con, but you understand that it is not possible to make the Con completely safe. You warrant and represent that you are sufficiently knowledgeable, skilled, and/or informed regarding the Con to properly and fully judge the inherent risks of the Con.

You further acknowledge and agree that the Con involves potential risks of serious personal injury, disability, illness, or even death. You represent that you have sufficient physical fitness to participate in the Con and you have no medical reason or impairment that might otherwise prevent you from participating in the Con. If you know or should know of any condition or problem that might prevent you from safely participating in the Con, you agree that you will immediately advise BusterCon and remove yourself from the Con.

In consideration of being allowed to attend, participate in, or become involved with the Con, you hereby assume full responsibility for your own safety (including online safety) and accept all known and unanticipated risks of loss, damage, and injury (including illness, death or disability) to yourself and your property while attending, participating in, or becoming involved with the Con, regardless of whether or not such risks are attributable to the negligence of others. By assuming and accepting all known and unanticipated risks, you completely absolve, waive, discharge, and release BusterCon and all its employees, advisers, consultants, members, contractors, organizers, operators, volunteers, sponsors, or other persons affiliated with BusterCon and all facility staff, guests, fellow participants, landlords, owners, management companies and the like (collectively the “Indemnified Parties“) from any legal duty for your safety or any liability for your harm, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

In consideration of being allowed to attend, participate in, or become involved with the Con, you hereby agree to release, waive, discharge, hold harmless, defend, and indemnify the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liability, claims, demands, controversy, lawsuits, or possible causes of action (“Claims“) that may accrue or arise from any loss, damage, or injury (including illness, death or disability) to your person and property that is in any way related to or arising in connection with your attendance at, participation in, or involvement with the Con, regardless of whether or not such Claims are attributable in whole or in part to any act, omission, or negligence of the Indemnified Parties. You agree that the Indemnified Parties will not be legally responsible for any loss, damage, and injury (including illness, death or disability) to your person and property arising out of or in any way connected to the Con, however caused and on any theory of liability whatsoever (whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), including but not limited to the Indemnified Party’s own negligence. Such defense and indemnification shall include all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees that may be associated with any Claims. You further agree that you will not cause, encourage, promulgate, support, or cooperate with (unless such cooperation is judicially mandated) any Claims to be brought against the Indemnified Parties.

You understand that the above release and assumption of risk is intended to provide a comprehensive release of liability but is not intended to assert any defenses that are prohibited by law. The release and assumption of risk shall be enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by law. If any portion of the release and assumption of risk is held invalid, those parts that are not held invalid shall continue in full force and effect. The terms of the above release and assumption of risk shall apply to and be binding on yourself, your spouse, your heirs, all members of your family, executors, administrators, representatives, and assigns.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

You understand this Agreement is a binding contract that supersedes any other agreements or representations and is intended to provide a comprehensive release of liability but is not intended to assert any defenses which are prohibited by law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington or the Superior Court of Washington State for King County any actions, suits, or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of this Agreement.
