WAIVER:


In consideration of being permitted to participate in any event (recolección) or related event at the Taos Historic Museums, Hacienda de los Martinez (an “Event”) where (all the things included) prepared foods, cooked, perishable or otherwise are transported, further prepared, and consumed, I, for myself, my heirs, personal representatives or assigns, agents, employees and affiliates, do hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue / shed project, their affiliates, direct or indirect, officers, employees, and agents from liability from any and all claims resulting in personal injury, accidents or illnesses (including death), and property loss arising from, but not limited to, participation in any Event.



THIS IS A PRIVATE EVENT.  ONCE THE TICKET HAS BEEN PURCHASED, NO REFUNDS SHALL BE GIVEN.  TICKETS MAY BE GIFTED TO OTHERS BUT CANNOT BE USED FOR FUTURE EVENTS.  



ASSUMPTION OF RISKS


Participation in any Event carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. The specific risks vary, and can include but are not limited to cooking food thoroughly; separating and not cross contaminating foods; chilling or refrigerating food appropriately; cleaning foodstuffs, instruments and hands used in and for food preparation; fire or gas hazards.  Raw foods of animal origin may be contaminated; that is, raw meat and poultry, raw eggs, unpasteurized milk, and raw shellfish.  Consumption of foods that mingle the products of many individual animals, such as bulk raw milk, pooled raw eggs, or ground beef may contain a pathogen if found in any one of the animals, which may contaminate the whole batch.   While we make every effort avoid contamination of the food prepared and presented for this event, there is always a risk when consuming raw or undercooked food.





INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS


I agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS Shed, their affiliates, direct or indirect, officers, employees, and agents (the “Indemnitees”) from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including attorney’s fees brought as a result of my involvement in Events, whether brought by me, my company or its agents or employees, or other third parties, and to reimburse the Indemnitees for any such expenses incurred.





ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING


I have read this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I acknowledge that I am signing the agreement freely and voluntarily, am over the age of 18, and intend by my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law for myself as well as my guests.
