The undersigned acknowledges and is aware that: (a) all travel, whether in the U.S. or a foreign country, involves risks of crime, accident, or bodily injury; (b) foreign travel as described in this release and authorization may involve additional risks and hardships, foreseen and unforeseen, including, but not limited to, risks of exposure to illness or disease, unsanitary or unsafe food and water, inadequate or none-existent medical and dental services, and political instability; and, (c) foreign travel is entirely voluntary. With this knowledge, the undersigned hereby agrees to assume all risks in connection with the foreign travel described in this release, whether such risks are foreseen or unforeseen.
2. FCI, its predecessors, successors, subsidiaries, assigns, attorneys, agents, employees, insurers, and representatives are hereby released and held harmless from any and all liability, claims, or demands for damages which the undersigned presently has or may have in the future, arising out of any personal injury, emotional distress, bodily injury, sickness, death, loss of property, property damage, or any other loss, costs, or expenses incurred by the undersigned, during the course of, as the result of, or in any way connected with the undersigned’s foreign travel as described in this release, whether such damages, costs, or expenses may arise out of the negligence or carelessness of FCI or otherwise. This release specifically extends, without limitation, to claims based on allegations of failure to warn of circumstances or conditions within any foreign country, or failure to warn of any U.S. State Department travel advisory or travel warning.
3. The undersigned agrees that the presence or participation of an FCI employee, agent, facilitator, guide, or travel escort during any portion of foreign travel does not in any way constitute a guarantee, promise, or assumption of responsibility on the part of FCI for the undersigned’s health or safety or the protection of the undersigned’s personal property. Nevertheless, the undersigned acknowledges that he or she has been strongly advised to remain at all relevant times with the missions travel group and to follow and heed the instructions and warnings of the missions Trip Leader. This release extends to any consequence that may befall the undersigned as a result of leaving or separating from the FCI travel group or from failing to heed the advice or warnings of the missions Trip Leader.
4. The undersigned has had a recent medical examination, or otherwise has good reason to believe that he or she is physically fit and capable to participate in foreign travel, and assumes personal responsibility of fitness and capability to do so. The undersigned has received all immunizations, if any, needed for the travel contemplated by this Release and Authorization.
5. The undersigned consents to medical and dental treatment by FCI, or by such others as FCI may designate, if the undersigned is in need of such treatment and is unable to consent to such treatment due to physical, mental, or other incapacity while participating in foreign travel as described in this release. The undersigned agrees to pay all charges for such treatment and to indemnify and hold FCI harmless there from. The undersigned further agrees that the rendering of any medical or other services to the undersigned by, or at the insistence of, FCI, or any of the persons or entities described in paragraph 3 above, does not constitute a waiver or an admission of liability to provide or to continue to provide any such services.
6. The undersigned expressly agrees that this release, waiver, and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of Washington, and that if any portion of it is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect. The undersigned agrees that this document shall be construed in accordance with Washington law, without regard for conflicts of law principles.
I agree to let the group leader and/or facilitator make medical decisions on my behalf in the case of an emergency during the trip.
