SMMI SNOWSPORTS RENTAL AGREEMENT

RENTAL AGREEMENT

  1. I accept full responsibility for the care of the rental equipment, and I agree to pay for any damage to the Equipment and replace either at the excess value (with insurance) or at full retail value (no insurance) any Equipment not returned by the agreed date.
  2. [SKI ONLY] I have made no misrepresentation regarding my height, weight, age, or skier type. (This information is required to properly adjust the ski boot/binding settings). I agree to verify that the settings appearing in the visual indicator windows on the bindings correspond with the settings to be recorded on file.
  3. I agree to return the Equipment in clean condition to avoid any additional charges.
  4. I understand I am responsible for any lost or stolen equipment, and that I am responsible for the equipment until it has been received and inspected by SMMI.
  5. I understand the equipment I leave with must be the equipment I return.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE WAIVER: NOT INSURED AGAINST LOSS OR THEFT

I understand I am still responsible for the full value of any lost, misplaced, or stolen equipment regardless of fault. I am responsible if the equipment is damaged due to negligence.

ASSUMPTION OF RISKS

I am aware that skiing and snowboarding involves risks, dangers and hazards and that injuries are a common and ordinary occurrence in these sports.

  • ALPINE SKIING I understand that the ski boot/binding system may not release during every fall or may release unexpectedly. The ski boot/binding system is no guarantee that the user will not be injured.
  • SNOWBOARDING I understand that the boot/binding system is not designed or intended to release and will not release under normal circumstances. I understand that as the boot/binding system is a non-release system, this system will not reduce the risk of injury during a fall.
  • HELMETS I understand that a helmet designed for RECREATIONAL SNOW SPORTS may reduce the risk of some types of head injuries. I recognize that serious injuries or death can result from both low and high energy impacts, even when a helmet is worn.

I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME ALL RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF THE EQUIPMENT.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

In consideration of the rental of the Equipment, I hereby agree as follows:

  1. I AGREE TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS that I have or may in the future have against SMMI and TO RELEASE SMMI from any and all liability for any damage, expense or injury (including death) that I may suffer, or that my next of kin may suffer, resulting from or arising out of any aspect of my use of the Equipment, DUE TO ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, in respect of the design, manufacture, installation, maintenance, selection or adjustment of the Equipment, or in respect of the provision of or the failure to provide any warnings, directions or instructions as to the use of the Equipment or the risks, dangers and hazards of skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing.
  2. TO HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY SMMI from any and all liability for any damage to the property of or personal injury to any third party, resulting from my use of the Equipment.
