RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT – In consideration of Bass Coast accepting my payment for a ticket for entry to the Premises and permission to enter the Premises following a personal and vehicle search prior thereto (as fully described below), I hereby agree as follows:

1. TO WAIVE AND ALL CLAIMS that I have or may have in the future against Bass Coast and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, representatives, successors, assigns and Premises owner (collectively, the “Releasees”), and TO RELEASE THE RELEASEES from any and all liability for any loss, damage, expense, harm or injury, including death that I may suffer, or that my next of kin may suffer resulting from either my use or my presence on the Premises or travel beyond the Premises during the Festival, DUE TO ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY OR OTHER DUTY OF CARE, INCLUDING ANY DUTY OF CARE OWED UNDER THE OCCUPIERS LIABILITY ACT, RSBC 1996, C.337, ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES, AND ALSO INCLUDING ANY FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE RELEASEES TO SAFEGUARD OR PROTECT ME FROM ANY RISKS, DANGERS AND OR HAZARDS REFERRED TO ABOVE.

2. I acknowledge and agree that Bass Coast has a zero tolerance policy regarding illegal drugs at the Festival. Namely, it is prohibited on the Premises to: (a) use, distribute, sell and or be in the possession of illegal drugs; (b) distribute, sell or improperly use prescription or over-the-counter drugs. Any prescription drugs on my person must have a valid prescription with my name clearly listed on the prescription at all times and strictly in the dosage of medication required for the duration of the Festival. Bass Coast, its employees, contractors, volunteers and emergency response personnel on the Premises will closely monitor any potential illegal or prohibited drug activity during the Festival.

3.

If any Prohibited Items are found at any time either upon the entry search or any search during the Festival, then Bass Coast’s limited license of entry to the Premises granted to me shall be immediately revoked, such Prohibited Items seized from me and I will be immediately removed from the Festival. For the avoidance of any doubt, any alcohol located during any post-entry search that is not purchased from Bass Coast shall be considered a Prohibited Item and subject to the terms hereof.
