Indemnification and Hold Harmless Agreement
1. I, hereby acknowledge that, in the course of my use of property owned by the Nabnasset Improvement Association, namely the Canoe and Kayak Rack located at the Mary Lou Beach, I shall operate at my own risk and without regard to any defect or unsafe condition of said property or any negligence or absence of due care on the part of the Nabnasset Improvement Association.

2. In consideration of my use of the Canoe and Kayak Rack, I hereby agree, for myself and my spouse, heirs, representatives, executors, administrators, assigns and agents, and do hereby jointly and severally, release and forever discharge the Nabnasset Improvement Association, its agents, servants and employees (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “NIA”) from any cause of action, claim or demand of any nature whatsoever including, but not limited to, a claim of negligence that I or my spouse, heirs, representatives, executors, administrators, assigns or agents may now have or have in the future against the NIA on account of damage to or loss of property, personal injury, bodily injury, death or accident of any kind, arising out of or in any way related to my use of the Canoe and Kayak Rack.

3. I further agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the NIA from and against any claims of any nature whatsoever and for the cost and expense including, but not limited to, attorney fees and legal costs arising out of any claim in connection with its use of the Canoe and Kayak Rack.

4. I hereby certify that I have full knowledge of the nature and extent of risks inherent in my use of the Canoe and Kayak Rack. I understand that I will be solely responsible for any loss or damage, including death, that I sustain or cause, to myself, my property, the Canoe and Kayak Rack or any other person or relieving the NIA of any and all liability for such loss or damage.

5. I further agree that, in consideration of my use of the Canoe and Kayak Rack, any Lock used to secure my property will be cut and I will be charged a $50 delivery fee for any property I store at the Canoe and Kayak Rack if I fail to remove said property from the Canoe and Kayak Rack by November 1 of each year. In the event that such property is abandoned, I agree that the NIA has the right to remove the abandoned property and I agree to pay a $50 delivery fee. I understand that it is my responsibility to remove any property I have stored at the Canoe and Kayak Rack by November 1, and the NIA has no duty to remind me to do so. Therefore, failure to remind me to remove my property by November 1 shall in no way invalidate the terms of the Agreement.

6. My agreement to this document indicates that I have read this agreement, which shall take effect as a sealed instrument. I further certify that I am 18 years or older and that I am otherwise legally competent to sign this agreement. I further understand that the terms of this agreement are legally binding and I have carefully read and understood the same, of my own free will.
