I UNCONDITIONALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT I PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITY AT MY SOLE RISK. 1. Release.

To the maximum extent provided by applicable law, I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Company or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Company and all other Releasees from liability under any such claims, including any claim related to my Feedback (as described below). 2.

I understand and acknowledge that the Activity walking or biking on roads in a major city, which may involve both expected and unexpected risks and dangers, including those associated with the conditions of the road, the bike issued to me, the risk of falling, colliding with other bicyclists, motor vehicles and/or stationary objects, and additionally, my riding a third party operated water-borne vessel or ferry (“Ferry”) (if I so elect to ride a Ferry, whether expressly or implicitly by my boarding such Ferry).

I also realize and accept the additional risks and hazards involved with riding a Ferry, walking and biking and walking on roads that are used at the same time as motor vehicles (including trucks, construction vehicles and other machinery and equipment), and also may contain unexpected and/or not readily perceived conditions, such as blowing heat and steam, poorly maintained roads (e.g., potholes), poor or reduced visibility, and other potentially dangerous conditions. 5.

I hereby acknowledge and consent to the Company securing medical treatment for me (including transportation via ambulance to a hospital) when deemed necessary if I am injured or require medical attention during my participation in the Activity, if required by medical staff, sharing my basic identifying and contact information should my injury prevent me from doing so myself. I understand and agree that I am solely responsible for all costs related to such medical treatment and any related medical transportation and/or evacuation.

I hereby release, forever discharge, and hold harmless the Company and all other Releasees from any claim based directly or indirectly on such treatment or any other medical services. 6. Equipment. I understand that the Company will provide me with certain equipment and other gear during the Activity (for example, a bike and helmet) depending on the Activity type. I agree to be solely responsible for all such equipment and gear at all times, including ensuring all equipment and gear is returned to the Company upon my departure from the Activity, no matter the circumstance.

Upon my departure from and/or completion of the Activity, if I fail to return the equipment or gear in the same condition as initially provided to me, I agree to promptly reimburse the Company accordingly, and such reimbursement shall be set at USD 450.00 per bicycle and USD 40.00 per helmet. I understand and agree that I may be charged these amounts (and any other expense incurred by the Company or any third party arising from my conduct during the Activity), and authorize the Company to automatically charge the credit card (or other payment method) I provided during Activity booking. I acknowledge and agree that the Company makes no guarantees, representations and/or warranties of any kind (whether express or implied) with respect to the quality and/or integrity of any equipment, gear, food, beverage and any other good, material and/pr communication provided to me before, during or after the Activity (including any result arising therefrom) whether provided by the Company or a third party. 7.
