ASSUMPTION OF RISK: I have voluntarily applied to participate in the trek on which I have registered. I am voluntarily participating in this adventure sport with the knowledge of the numerous risks on which I have registered. Death and dangers involved, which include but are not limited to: dangers and risks inherent in adventure activities as trekking; negligence in any manner on the part of The Cloudline; emotional trauma; disfigurement; temporary or permanent disability, including paralysis; death; acts of God; the hazards of traveling in remote, unsafe or politically unstable areas or under unsafe conditions; the dangers of civil disturbances and war; forces of nature; transportation failures; equipment failures; accident or illness in remote places without access to medical facilities, transportation, or means of evacuation and assistance; unexpected events; terrorist activities, social or labour unrest; mechanical or construction failures or difficulties; diseases; local laws; climatic conditions; abnormal conditions or developments; or any other actions, omissions, or conditions outside of The Cloudline control.

I ACKNOWLEDGE that trekking in high altitudes entails known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. The risks include, among other things: Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) which can further escalate to High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) or High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE); exposure to the natural elements can be uncomfortable and/or harmful; I am aware that this exposure could cause sunburn, dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and heat cramps; also prolonged exposure to cold can result in hypothermia, frostnip or frostbite, which can even turn fatal; exposure to potentially dangerous wildlife, insects, plants, falling rocks, landslides, accidental drowning, accidental slips and falls on snow, ice and mountainous sections is also a possibility. I also know that there is a risk of equipment malfunction or injury due to third parties. Furthermore, I understand The Cloudline employees are qualified, but have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. No one can predict the weather, the elements, the terrain or altitude sickness with 100% accuracy. I am cognizant of the basic safety rules and instructions concerning these trekking activities. I also understand that it is not the purpose of The Cloudline to teach safety rules. I also understand that I am responsible for the safety and good operating condition of any equipment while I use such equipment.

PREPARATION: I assume full and complete responsibility for physically preparing for the trek as prescribed in the eligibility criteria of the trek.

REPRESENTATION OF GOOD HEALTH: I certify that I am in good health, have no medical, mental, physical conditions that affect my ability to travel and/or participate in the trekking expedition and have not been advised otherwise by a medical practitioner. I acknowledge that The Cloudline is in no way responsible for any costs related to my medical care during or after the trek. I am not suffering from any fever, cough, or any respiratory distress. I am not under quarantine. If I ever develop any of the above-mentioned symptoms, I will immediately contact the concerned health authorities. I am eligible to travel as per the extant norms. I will make my mobile number/ contact details available to The Cloudline, whenever required by them. I will adhere to the health protocol prescribed by the State Governments.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY: As lawful consideration of, and as part of the payment for, the right to participate in the trek, and as part of the payment for the services arranged for me by The Cloudline, I HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN WELFARE AND ASSUME ALL OF THE ABOVE RISKS, INCLUDING BOTH THOSE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN TO ME. I ALSO HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE TO RELEASE, DISCHARGE AND HOLD HARMLESS FOREVER The Cloudline, their owners, employees, affiliated entities, employees, agents, representatives, officers, directors, associates, volunteers, successors and assigns from and against any liability, actions, causes of actions, debts, suits, claims and demands of any and every kind and nature whatsoever which I now have or which may hereafter arise out of or in connection with my trek with The Cloudline.

INDEMNIFICATION: I further agree to “indemnify” (meaning to defend and to pay or reimburse) The Cloudline against any claim by any person, including minors, arising in whole or in part from an injury or other loss suffered or caused by me in connection with the expedition or my participation in the trek.
