I further understand the organiser reserves the right to reject an entry without justification for their actions.

5. I acknowledge that safety precautions undertaken by organisers are a service to me and other competitors but are not a guarantee of safety.
6. I accept that I have an important responsibility to carefully read and listen to all safety information provided and to immediately seek clarification on anything which is not entirely clear to me.

10. I hereby take action for myself, my support crew, my executors, administrators, heirs, next of kin, successors, signatories and assigns as follows: a) Waive, release and discharge from any and all liability for death, disability, personal injury, property damage, property theft, property loss, and all other foreseeable risk or claims or actions of any kind (including negligence and/or recklessness) whatever and however occurring which I at any time had or have as a result of or in connection with, directly or indirectly, my participation in and my travelling to and from this event the following person(s) or entities: New Plymouth Mountain Bikers and its officials; land and property managers and/or owners; event organisers, event sponsors; event volunteers; district council; or other areas of whatever nature in which the event may be staged, its representatives, respective officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, agents, marshalls and volunteers. b) Indemnify and hold harmless the persons or entities mentioned in paragraph 10(a) above from any and all liabilities, claims or actions (including negligence and/or recklessness) whatever or however caused, arising as a result of or in connection with, directly or indirectly, my participation in and travelling to and from this event. c) If for any reason New Plymouth Mountain Bikers and/or its directors are liable to the entrant in contract, tort or otherwise, the combined maximum liability of New Plymouth Mountain Bikers shall be to a sum equal to the entry fee paid by the entrant for this event.
