Seek Sista Disclaimer 

By joining and participating in activities organised by Kirsty Curnow under the Seek Sista banner, you acknowledge and agree to the following waiver and release of liability. Please read this document carefully before participating in any activities. Your participation indicates your acceptance of these terms.  1. Fitness and Health Requirements

Participants must ensure they meet the necessary fitness and health standards to undertake activities including guided hikes and walks led by Kirsty Curnow or other third-party activity providers. It is the participant's responsibility to consult with a healthcare professional if there is any doubt regarding their fitness level. Participants are required to disclose any medical conditions, allergies, or physical limitations that could affect their participation and provide a written clearance from a healthcare professional if requested.

2. Terms and Conditions

   a. Enrolment: Participants must pre-register for activities through the designated registration process. All forms and payments must be completed prior to participation.

   b. Fees: For activities which aren’t free participation fees must be paid in full prior to the event. Fees are non-refundable except as outlined in the activity provider’s cancellation policy.

   c. Cancellation Policy: Cancellations made by participants before the scheduled activity will adhere to the activity provider’s policy available to read before booking the activity.

1. Assumption of Risk 

I understand and acknowledge that participating in outdoor activities involves inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to:

• Physical injuries such as sprains, fractures, or other bodily harm.

• Hazards posed by weather conditions, terrain, wildlife, and other natural elements.

• Accidents involving transportation, equipment, or other participants.
  

I voluntarily choose to participate, fully aware of these risks, and accept all responsibility for any consequences arising from my participation.

2. Personal Responsibility 

I acknowledge and agree that: 

• I am solely responsible for my own safety and well-being during all activities. 

• I will take all necessary precautions to minimise risks, including wearing appropriate clothing, using necessary equipment, and adhering to safety guidelines. 

• I am physically and mentally fit to participate in the chosen activities. If I have any pre-existing conditions, I will consult with a healthcare professional before joining. 

3. Release of Liability 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release, waive, and discharge Kirsty Curnow, Seek Sista, its organisers, and any affiliated parties from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses that may arise from my participation. This includes, but is not limited to, claims for: 

• Personal injury or death. 

• Property damage or loss. 

• Financial or other consequential losses. 

I understand that this release applies even if such claims arise from the negligence of Seek Sista or its organisers. 

4. Third-Party Activities and Services 

I understand that some activities may involve third-party providers for services such as guided tours, transportation, or other offerings. I acknowledge that: 

• Seek Sista is not responsible for the operations, safety, or conduct of third-party providers. 

• I agree to follow all rules and safety instructions provided by third-party operators. 

• Any claims or disputes regarding third-party services must be directed to the provider, not Seek Sista. 

5. Participation 

I understand that: 

• Seek Sista organises both social, community-driven outdoor activities and guided hikes for which participation fees may be charged.

• On occasion, Seek Sista or its organisers may receive non-monetary compensation (e.g., free sessions, discounts, or commissions) for referrals or collaborations with third parties. This does not affect the voluntary nature of participation. 

6. Medical Treatment and Emergency Situations

• I authorise Seek Sista or its representatives to seek emergency medical assistance on my behalf if deemed necessary during an activity.

• I understand that I am responsible for any associated costs, including ambulance, medical treatment, or related expenses.

  
  

7. Indemnification

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Kirsty Curnow, Seek Sista, and its organisers from any claims, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from my participation in these activities, including any claims brought by third parties.

8. Media Consent

By participating, I consent to the use of photos or videos taken during activities for Seek Sista promotional or social media purposes. If I wish to opt out, I will inform the organiser in writing before the event.

9. Agreement to Terms

By participating in Seek Sista activities, I confirm that I have read, understood, and agree to this waiver and release of liability. I acknowledge that my participation is voluntary and at my own risk.

Duration of Agreement: This waiver and release of liability will remain valid for 12 months from the date signed, unless revoked in writing by the participant and acknowledged by Seek Sista.
