With your booking, you voluntarily agree with Superbike-Coach Corporation, a California corporation (“SBC”), as follows:
1. Assumption of risk.

I understand that SBC does not certify or guaranty my own riding skills or safe riding by other riders sharing the track with me.
I am voluntarily participating in the Event on my own evaluation of all relevant conditions, and not based upon any representations or warranties by SBC or any of its owners, officers, directors, employees, or agents. I understand that SBC and the Facility do not provide medical insurance. I agree to provide my own medical insurance. I understand that Event and the Facility may operate regardless of weather, including cold weather, dew, or precipitation, affecting traction, and that I will exercise my own judgment whether to participate in the Event, or any portion of the Event.
2. Waiver of claims for injury and damage. For myself, heirs, spouse, children, parents, guardians, executors, trustees, personal representatives, and other successors, I hereby waive any claims, causes of action, or damages against SBC in any way arising from my participation in the Event, including but not necessarily limited to: (a) the design, construction, maintenance, or other conditions of the Track Facility; (b) track operations (including start/finish and grid control, signaling, motorcycle retrieval, rescue or medical operations); (c) control rider and instructor actions; (d) technical inspection of my motorcycle and riding gear, if any, driving by other participants in the Event; (e) the failure to enact or communicate rules for the Event, or the enforcement or non-enforcement of rules announced for the Event; or (f) SBC’s selection of vendors to provide any product or services during or in relation to the Event (collectively, “Waived Claims”).

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I have agreed to waive all claims for active or passive conduct, errors and omissions, and ordinary negligence.
3. Covenant not to sue; hold harmless. I promise that I will not sue any of the Released Parties for any Waived Claims.
