Disclaimer:
I have read the rules and understand the nature of this event. I agree that I enter at my own risk and take full responsibility for my safety and actions during the event. I therefore do not hold Open Adventure Limited or any of its agents responsible for any damage or injury sustained to me or my property during the event.

Equipment:
Where competitors use equipment provided by Open Adventure e.g bouyancy aids, ropes, boats, etc. it is expected that they be treated with all resonable care. Where a case of neglect results in damage to the equipment, the competitors will be expected to reimburse Open Adventure with the replacement value of the item. For example dragging boats over rocks, abraision of ropes, poling with paddles, etc.
Where competitors hire SPORTident timing cards, they assume responsibilty of the card until it is returned - any loss or damage will result in the cost being charged to the competitor. In situations e.g. canyonning and climbing where damage can occour Open Adventure advises competitors to cover the SI-card with a buff or a sweatband - the responsibility for its security resides with the competitor.
Photography and filming:
During our events there will be photographers and on occasions film crews. By entering our events you are giving consent that images of yourself maybe used to promote Open Adventure and/or its sponsors.
