I understand, acknowledge, and agree that CIVANA does not pre-screen or evaluate my fitness level or quality of health to determine if I am fit to engage in any CIVANA Activities. I understand that the property and facilities owned and/or operated by CIVANA are not medical facilities and do not provide medical assessment, medical treatment, medical advice or clinical treatment/services.

In consideration of CIVANA allowing me to participate in CIVANA Activities, I knowingly assume any and all risk of injury, illness or death to myself associated with or arising from my participation in any and all CIVANA Activities. I understand the desert environment can be hazardous and present harm to me and others due to extreme heat, wild animals, snakes, scorpions, venomous spiders and other conditions, and that, without proper precautions, can cause illness, injury or death, and I assume any and all risk of CIVANA Activities caused by or arising from the desert environment and its conditions.

In further consideration of my participation in CIVANA Activities, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless CIVANA and its third party providers from and against any and all injuries, illnesses, losses, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs, damages and/or expenses whatsoever paid, incurred and/or suffered by CIVANA or its third party providers as a result of my participation in CIVANA Activities. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless CIVANA for any injury, damage and/or harm that I cause to CIVANA and/or to any and all other persons and entities.
