Agreement & General Release

1. I understand that the Central Jersey Ski Club, (hereafter the "Club") is a year-round skiing, sports and social Club, which sponsors a variety of activities, including skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, biking, hiking, golf, and other sports and social events (collectively, the "Club Activities").
2. I am aware that many of the Club Activities organized and/or sponsored by the Club, including those enumerated in paragraph 1 above, are inherently dangerous activities which may involve the risk of serious injury or even death.
3. I understand that the Club is a New Jersey not-for-profit corporation, and that its officers, directors, committee chairpersons, committee members, and members (collectively, "Club Persons") serve only in the capacity of volunteers. I agree that by participating in any Club-related activity, including Club Activities, I am responsible for my own safety and agree that I knowingly and voluntarily assume the risks involved in any such activity. 
4. To the fullest extent allowed by law, I hereby waive my right to, and I agree that I will not, institute any lawsuit or other legal action against (a) the Club, or (b) any Club Persons, as a result of my participation in or injury from any Club-related, Club organized, Club-advertised, Club-sponsored or Club-subsidized activity, including Club Activities.
5. I understand and acknowledge that the Club is acting in reliance upon the agreements made by me in this Release in order to extend to me the benefits of membership in the Club and that, were I not willing to abide by the terms of this document, such membership and opportunity to participate in Club-related, Club-organized, Club-advertised, Club-sponsored or Club-subsidized activities, including Club Activities, would not be extended to me.
6. I understand and acknowledge that Club Persons are acting in reliance upon the agreements made by me in this Release in volunteering their services and, in some instances, their homes and vehicles and that, were I not willing to abide by the terms of this document, their services, homes and vehicles would not be made available to me.
7. I hereby agree to release and discharge the Club, all Club Persons, and their successors and assigns, from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, charges, obligations, claims and demands of any kind whatsoever, in law or equity, that I or my heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns ever had, now have or hereafter can, shall or may have, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from the beginning of time to the date of this Release, and for so long as I am a Club member or participate in any Club-related, Club organized, Club-advertised, Club-sponsored or Club-subsidized activity, including Club Activities.
8. By signing this Agreement, I also hereby agree to abide by the Constitution and By-Laws of the Club, which are available for review on the Club's web site. I also agree to abide by all posted rules, regulations and instructions in the Club's lodge in Rochester, Vermont.
9. I give the Club permission to record my image and grant the Club all rights to use these photographs in any medium for promotional, advertising, or other purposes that support the mission of the Club.
10. This Release shall bind me, my heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, successors and assigns.
11. If I invite one or more guests to any Club-related, Club organized, Club-advertised, Club-sponsored or Club-subsidized activity, including Club Activities, it is my responsibility to advise my guests that they are responsible for their own safety and agree to knowingly and voluntarily assume the risks involved in any such activity.
12. I expressly agree that the foregoing General Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by law of the State of New Jersey and that if any portion hereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall continue in full legal force and effect.
