I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS THE SAND MOUNTAIN SHOOTER’S CLUB, the owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the paintball activities, their officers, officials, agents and/or employees (“Releasees”), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, except that which is the result of gross negligence and/or wanton misconduct.

5. I understand and agree that this Release of Liability Agreement covers each and every paintball activity and event in which I participate hereafter.
