RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT"): In consideration for being permitted to participate in any way in the 2025 Sea Gull Century/Metric Century/40 Miler ("ACTIVITY") on September 27, 2025, an event sponsored by Salisbury University, I, for myself, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs and next of kin:
1. ACKNOWLEDGE, agree and represent that I understand the nature of bicycling activities and that I am qualified to participate in such Activity. I further acknowledge that the Activity will be conducted over public roads and facilities open to the public during the Activity and upon which the hazards of traveling are to be expected. I further agree and warrant that if at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity.
2. UNDERSTAND that all participants in the Activity are required to wear BICYCLING HELMETS, and I agree to wear a bicycle helmet while riding a bicycle as part of any event connected with the Activity.
3. FULLY UNDERSTAND that (a) BICYCLING ACTIVITIES INVOLVE RISKS and DANGERS OF SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING PERMANENT DISABILITY, PARALYSIS AND DEATH ("RISKS"); (b) these Risks and dangers may be caused by my own actions, or inactions, the actions or inactions of other participants in the Activity, the condition in which the Activity takes place, or THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE "RELEASEE" NAMED BELOW; (c) there may be OTHER RISKS AND SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LOSSES either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES, COSTS AND DAMAGES I incur as a result of my participation in the Activity.
4. HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS Salisbury University, its administrators, officers, volunteers, staff, agents and employees; other participants; and any other sponsors, advertisers and, if applicable, owners and leasers of premises on which the Activity takes place (the "RELEASEES" referred to herein) FROM ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, LOSSES OR DAMAGES ON MY ACCOUNT CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE "RELEASEES" OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING NEGLIGENT RESCUE OPERATIONS.
5. I GIVE Salisbury University UNRESTRICTED PERMISSION to use and/or publish pictures of me for promotional purposes. I hereby waive any right that I may have to inspect and approve the finished product or copy that may be used in connection with an image that the photographer has taken of me or the use to which it may be applied. I further release Salisbury University from any claims for remuneration associated with any form of damage, foreseen or unforeseen, associated with the proper commercial or artistic use of images.
6. I understand that my registration information will not be shared or released to other businesses for solicitation purposes.
7. There is no rain date; we ride rain or shine. In case of severe weather; Salisbury University campus closure; or restrictions mandated by local, state or federal government agencies, Sea Gull Century reserves the right to cancel/alter/modify the tour for safety and concerns. In all cases, Sea Gull Century does not refund tour entry fees or transfer registrations to another tour year. In the unlikely case a tour is canceled, you may claim your registration fee as a tax-deductible donation.
All funds raised through the Sea Gull Century tour supports Salisbury University and the local community.
I have read this agreement, fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it and have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature and intend it to be complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law and agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid that the balance, notwithstanding, shall continue in full force and effect.
