TRAVEL RELEASE OF LIABILITY & TRAVEL INSURANCE WAIVER AS APPLICABLE:

In consideration for being allowed to participate in this Program, on behalf of myself and my next of kin, heirs and representatives, I release from all liability and promise not to sue Mind & Body Complete/Retreat Ranch and their employees, officers, directors, volunteers and agents (collectively “MBC”) from any and all claims, including claims of MBC’s negligence, resulting in any physical or psychological injury (including paralysis and death), illness, damages, or economic or emotional loss I may suffer because of my participation in this Program, including travel to, from and during the Program.

I am voluntarily participating in this Program. I am aware of the risks associated with traveling to/from and participating in this Program, which include but are not limited to physical or psychological injury, pain, suffering, illness, disfigurement, temporary or permanent disability (including paralysis), economic or emotional loss, and/or death. I understand that these injuries or outcomes may arise from my own or other’s actions, inaction, or negligence; conditions related to travel; or the condition of the Program location(s). Nonetheless, I assume all related risks, both known or unknown to me, of my participation in this Program, including travel to, from and during the Program.

I agree to hold MBC harmless from any and all claims, including attorney’s fees or damage to my personal property, that may occur as a result of my participation in this Program, including travel to, from and during the Activity. If MBC incurs any of these types of expenses, I agree to reimburse MBC. If I need medical treatment, I agree to be financially responsible for any costs incurred as a result of such treatment. I am aware and understand that I should carry my own health insurance.

I understand that it is REQUIRED to purchase travel insurance. As MBC cannot control nature or events that may happen that may cause the location of the Program to become unavailable or due to my own tragedies or interruptions to travel that could occur including sickness/death in the family, etc. MBC is not responsible for airfare or travel arrangements made, nor the loss of any retreat fees paid and I understand that it is my responsibility to research and purchase travel insurance for travel to/from the program.  You can consider travel insurance search engines such as:

  • https://www.travelinsurance.com/
  • https://www.squaremouth.com/

or something similar.  I also understand that if I am unable to make my trip for any and all reasons included COVID related, illness, death in the family, etc- it is my responsibility to ensure my travel insurance can reimburse my fees of any kind due to MBC cancellation policy.

As of April, 2020: The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person to person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

Mind and Body Complete Wellness has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, Mind and Body Complete Wellness cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19.
