I agree to give up the right to sue for any injury or damages related to my participation in NDPS activities.

AGREEMENT

1. I understand that by participating in activities organized by the Nothin’ Dragon Paddling Society (NDPS), including dragon boat paddling (the “Activities”), I am doing so voluntarily.

2. I understand that these Activities involve inherent risks, such as:

  • Collisions with other paddlers or boats
  • Slipping or falling on docks or equipment
  • Weather or water conditions
  • Loss of balance or coordination
  • Injury caused by my own actions or those of others

3. I accept full responsibility for these risks and agree to participate at my own risk.

4. I waive any and all claims against NDPS, its directors, officers, volunteers, staff, or anyone acting on its behalf (“the Agents”), including claims for injury, death, or property damage — even if caused by negligence or breach of duty.

5. I understand that this waiver protects NDPS and its Agents equally.

6. I give permission to NDPS, the media, or professional photographers to take and use photos of me (and/or my child, if applicable) for promotional and educational purposes, including use on websites, social media, and printed materials. This may include use with or without names.

Typing, "YES" below, acknowledges that I have read and understand “the Agreement.” I understand that this document contains a promise not to sue “the Operator,” and/or “the Agents” and/or "the Society" and that it constitutes a release of liability and an indemnity for all claims.
