2. Independent, Non-Company Activity

I understand and agree that this hike is a personal, voluntary activity organized by individual participants, not by Nueva.

I understand that Nueva is not providing guides, supervisors, medical personnel, transportation, equipment, insurance coverage, or safety oversight for this hike.

I understand that any communications about this hike are for informational convenience only and do not make the hike a Nueva-sponsored or Nueva-supervised activity.

• Injury, illness, property damage, or death

I understand that Camelback Mountain trails may be physically demanding and may require good judgment, personal responsibility, and appropriate preparation. I voluntarily assume all risks connected with my participation.

4. Health and Fitness Representation

I represent that I am physically capable of participating in this hike. I understand that it is my responsibility to evaluate my own health, fitness level, hydration needs, medical conditions, medications, and physical limitations before participating.

I agree not to participate if I am injured, ill, overheated, dehydrated, impaired, or otherwise unable to safely complete the activity. I understand that I am responsible for turning around or stopping if I feel unsafe, uncomfortable, exhausted, overheated, or unwell.

5. No Medical Advice or Supervision

I understand that no one involved in coordinating this hike is providing medical advice, professional guiding services, emergency medical services, or safety supervision. I am responsible for my own decisions, pace, hydration, equipment, and personal safety.

In the event of an emergency, I authorize reasonable efforts to obtain emergency medical care for me. I understand that I am responsible for any costs related to medical care, rescue, transportation, or emergency response.

6. Release of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release and discharge Nueva and its affiliated companies, owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, insurers, successors, and assigns from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising out of or related to my participation in the hike, including claims involving personal injury, illness, death, property damage, or other loss.

This release includes claims arising from ordinary negligence, to the extent permitted by applicable law. This release does not apply to claims that cannot legally be released under applicable law.

7. Indemnification

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Nueva and its affiliated companies, owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, insurers, successors, and assigns from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to my participation in the hike, my conduct, my failure to follow safety instructions, or any claim brought by or on behalf of me or my representatives, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
