Emphasis on Safety

We are serious about safety. We expect you to be serious about safety also by following the instructions of various tour guides and hosts, by acting prudently, and by using good judgment. NAICCLP offers a wide array of exciting learning opportunities. However, participation does carry a degree of risk and personal responsibility. It is important to read and understand the following caveats.

Although the National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants (NAICC) has taken precautions to ensure an enjoyable, educational, and safe experience, it is impossible to guarantee absolute safety. There is inherent risk in travel. Conditions at various tour destinations and actions of other parties, such as drivers, event holders, sponsors, and organizers, are beyond our control. By signing below, you acknowledge that the National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants (NAICC) affiliates are not responsible for the errors, omissions, acts, or failure to act of any party or entity conducting a specific event, tour, or activity as part of this program.

Emergency Medical

By signing below, you authorize the National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants (NAICC) or its authorized designee to obtain emergency medical treatment for you, if needed, as may be deemed advisable. You understand that the NAICC does not provide health insurance for you and that you should carry your own health insurance. You will be financially responsible for any costs of such treatment. Further, by signing you certify that you are physically fit and sufficiently prepared to participate and that you are not disobeying instructions from a qualified medical professional who advises against your participation.

The undersigned hereby forever acquits and discharges the National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants (NAICC) and any of its employees, contractors, volunteers, agents, or affiliates of and from any and all actions, claims, causes of actions, loss of services, loss of earnings, costs, demands or damages, on account of or in any way arising out of any and all known and unknown causes which may occur with the aforementioned. By signing, you understand that this document is written to be construed broadly to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. If any portion is held invalid or unenforceable, then you agree to be bound by the remaining terms.

I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE READ THIS DOCUMENT. I FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENT. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND IS LEGALLY BINDING UPON ME, MY AGENTS, AND HEIRS. I SIGN IT OF MY OWN FREE WILL.
