WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, INDEMNIFICATION, AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT

I have voluntarily agreed to participate in a course of instruction in the use of firearms or other shooting activities given by the North Star Arms Association (hereinafter referred to as “NSAA”).

I hereby acknowledge the risks and dangers that exist in my use of any and all firearms and/or defensive tactics and techniques related to my participation in shooting activities. I understand and acknowledge that shooting activities are inherently dangerous and involve both known and unanticipated risks which could result in damage or destruction of property and physical or emotional injury, including, without limitation, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. The risks include, but are not limited to, flying bullets, flying debris, noise, being shot by another, shooting myself or others; partial or total loss of eyesight or hearing; inhalation or other harmful contact with lead or other contaminants; burns and scarring; and being struck by flying or falling objects. I fully understand that participation in these dangerous shooting activities is voluntary and I agree to and do assume these risks. I acknowledge that this list is not inclusive of all possible risks associated with my participation in these shooting activities and that this list in no way limits the extent of this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, Indemnification, and Hold Harmless Agreement.

I hereby acknowledge and agree that at all times I will abide by all NSAA range rules; all procedures enforced by the NSAA Range Safety Officers; and all range rules of any shooting range at which NSAA is presenting a course of instruction in the use of firearms or other shooting activities.

In consideration for the course of instruction in the use of firearms; use of a shooting range, other facility, or land for such instruction; observation; and other training and services of NSAA, its instructors, officers, directors, employees, members, and agents, I hereby fully acknowledge, understand, and agree to release, and, on behalf of myself, my heirs, representatives, executors, administrators, and assigns hereby do release NSAA, its instructors, officers, directors, employees, members, and agents from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action of which I, my heirs, representatives, executors, administrators, or assigns may now have or have in the future against NSAA, its instructors, officers, directors, employees, members, and agents on account of personal injury, property damage, death, or accident of any kind, arising out of or in any way related to the course of instruction in the use of firearms or other shooting activities provided by NSAA, its instructors, officers, directors, employees, members, and agents, or my use of any equipment, shooting ranges or other facilities in connection with the course of instruction or shooting activities, and however the injury or damage is caused, including, but not limited to, any alleged negligence of NSAA, its instructors, officers, directors, employees, members, and agents. I further agree that I will not bring a civil action against NSAA, its instructors, officers, directors, employees, members, and agents based upon any of the foregoing. I understand that I will be solely responsible for any loss or damage including, but not limited to, death or paralysis, that I may sustain while participating in a NSAA course of instruction in the use of firearms or other shooting activities, and that by signing this Agreement, I relieve NSAA, its instructors, officers, directors, employees, members, and agents of any and all liability for such loss, damage, or death.

I do hereby further agree to indemnify and hold harmless NSAA, its instructors, officers, directors, employees, members, and agents from any and all claims, demands, damages, expenses, causes of action, attachments of property, liability, injury, death, or financial compensation which may occur in the present or future related to my participation in any and all activities arising out of, related to, or connected with the discharge of firearms; my participation in the course of instruction in the use of firearms or other shooting activities; my presence on or use of any shooting ranges or other facilities used by NSAA for its course of instruction in the use of firearms or other shooting activities; and any and all acts or omissions committed by me.

I expressly agree that this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, Indemnification, and Hold Harmless Agreement is intended to be as broad as is permitted by the laws of the state in which NSAA is presenting a course of instruction in the use of firearms or other shooting activities. I further agree that if any provisions of this agreement are held to be invalid, nevertheless, the balance of the agreement shall continue in full force and effect. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, Indemnification, and Hold Harmless Agreement and fully understand its terms. I understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I acknowledge that I am signing this agreement freely and voluntarily and intend my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.
