It is further expressly agreed by you that Give Us Wings, its directors, officers, leaders, members, agents, and representatives shall not be liable for any claims, demands, injuries, damages, actions or causes of actions, whatsoever made or incurred by you or your property, arising out of or connected with, the preparation of a GUW trip, the actual trip itself or post trip activities, use of any services or facilities of GUW or the premises where same are located, delays, substitutions of equipment, or any act of omission whatsoever, brought about by any airline, hotel, car rental company, government agency, or any other individual, organization or corporation, their agents or employees. Furthermore, you do hereby expressly forever release and discharge released parties from all such claims, demands, injuries, actions or causes of actions, and from all acts of passive and active negligence on the part of the released parties.
As further consideration for your participation in the GUW program, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the released parties for all claims, judgments, and costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with any such claims, demands, actions or causes of action brought by or on your behalf.
In addition, you recognize that you are traveling as a tourist and, while on site, will be the guest of the local people and the sponsoring organization. Consequently, you agree to abide by all applicable rules of the sponsoring organization and the laws of the government in the places of the program offering. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the released parties for all claims, demands, injuries, damages, actions or causes of actions resulting from your failure to abide by such rules and laws.
You understand and agree that all expenses related to the trip are to be incurred by you, including medical, injury, or delay costs. The law of Minnesota shall control all questions relating to the construction, operation, validity and performance of this agreement. In the event any provision of this agreement is held to be invalid or too broad to permit enforcement to its full extent, then such provision and the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
