Welcome! Thank you for joining the Fair Amount Food Forest! Please fill in your information below for participating in FAFF programs.
For participation of minors: I hereby recognize that all minors must have a waiver filled out by a legal guardian. By filling out the form below, I certify that I am the legal guardian of the child listed with my name included.
Assumption of Risk: By signing below, I acknowledge that I and/or my child are a voluntary and willing participant in Fair Amount Food Forest (“FAFF” or “FAFF Project”) programs, and fully understand that there may be risks inherent in or associated with my participation. In consideration of my participation in the activities organized and provided by FAFF, I hereby release from liability and agree to indemnify and hold harmless FAFF, its organizers, property owners or residents, volunteers, and partner organizations including their employees, boards and volunteers, for any damage, injury, illness or death which may result from or be associated with my participation in the FAFF programs, including travel associated therewith, whether caused by negligence of the aforementioned parties or otherwise. I hereby assume any and all risk of personal injury, death, and damage to personal property.
I understand that this is a release of liability which will legally prevent me or any other person from filing suit or making any other legal claim for injuries, damage, or death sustained by me. I, nevertheless, enter into this agreement freely and voluntarily and agree that it is binding on me, my heirs, assignees, and legal representatives. I also expressly agree that the foregoing waiver and assumption of risks agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of Pennsylvania, and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect. Waiver & Release Participation in FAFF programs could increase the risk of you or your child contracting illnesses or becoming injured. FAFF organizers undertake safety measures, but we cannot guarantee you will be 100% safe from illnesses or injury when participating in FAFF programs.
I, and any minors I am a guardian of, understand that attendance at any gathering carries certain risks. In exchange for attendance and participation in FAFF events and programs, I therefore accept the risk of participation and relieve FAFF and FAFF partner staff, volunteers, other participants and any assigns, successors and/or heirs from any loss, damage, claim and/or demand on account of injury, sickness or death arising from participation in FAFF programs, events or use of related facilities.
