Good Medicine Whidbey LLC Waiver and Release of Liability

PLEASE READ THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER CAREFULLY. BY SIGNING IT, YOU ARE GIVING UP IMPORTANT LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE GOOD MEDICINE WHIDBEY LLC (“GOOD MEDICINE”).

Purpose and Consideration

In consideration for being permitted to participate in sauna sessions provided by Good Medicine Whidbey LLC, a Washington State and Island County licensed entity, including but not limited to use of the mobile sauna, cold plunges in the Salish Sea, and related activities (collectively, the “Activities”), I hereby agree to all terms and conditions in this Release and Waiver (this “Release”) on behalf of myself and any children, relatives, or dependents identified below (collectively, “Participants”).

Acknowledgment of Risk

I acknowledge that participating in the Activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to dehydration, dizziness, nausea, low/high blood pressure, heart failure, stroke, loss of consciousness, drowning in the Salish Sea, and death. These risks may arise from my actions, Participants’ actions, others’ actions, or the mobile sauna’s conditions (no bathroom access, bring-your-own towels, water shoes recommended for sea plunges). Injuries may be compounded by emergency response efforts. I recognize these risks, including unforeseen hazards, and participate voluntarily.

Assumption of Risk

I voluntarily assume all risks associated with the Activities, known and unknown, even if arising from Good Medicine’s negligence. I accept full responsibility for any damages to myself or Participants, including economic losses, pain and suffering, or other losses incurred during participation.

Medical Release and Health Certification

I certify that I am in good health, with no medical conditions posing undue risk during the Activities (e.g., heart issues, pregnancy). I understand it’s my duty to consult a physician beforehand to confirm my fitness for sauna use and cold plunges. Good Medicine provides no medical personnel or facilities, and I’m responsible for all medical costs from participation.

Release from Liability

I fully release and discharge Good Medicine Whidbey LLC, its owners, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates from all injuries (including death), losses, damages, claims, lawsuits, expenses, or liabilities arising from the Activities, even if due to Good Medicine’s negligence. This includes liability from strict liability or gross negligence.

Indemnification

I agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Good Medicine from all third-party claims, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from my or Participants’ participation in the Activities, including accidents, injuries, or property damage caused to others.

Covenant Not to Sue

I agree not to sue Good Medicine, nor assist in any legal action for damages related to injuries, losses, or property damage from the Activities, even if due to negligence. I waive rights to seek legal relief or punitive damages against Good Medicine.

Medical Expenses

I consent to necessary medical treatment in case of illness, accident, or injury, and I’m solely responsible for all related costs (treatment, transportation, evacuation). Good Medicine has no duty to provide medical care and isn’t liable for treatment outcomes.

Agreement to Follow Directions

I will follow all posted rules, warnings, and oral instructions from Good Medicine staff (e.g., bring towels, wear water shoes for Salish Sea plunges). Failure to comply may result in expulsion without refund

Photograph License

I grant Good Medicine the perpetual, worldwide right to use my and Participants’ likenesses from the Activities for publicity, without compensation or further permission.

Governing Law

This Release is governed by Washington State law, with any legal actions brought exclusively in Island County courts. I waive jury trial rights and agree to individual resolution, not class actions, per Washington State and Island County regulations.

Severability

If any provision is unenforceable, it’s severed without affecting the remaining terms, which remain valid under Washington law

Entire Agreement

This Release is the full agreement between me and Good Medicine Whidbey LLC, superseding prior understandings. Amendments must be written and signed by both parties.

Acknowledgment of Understanding

I’ve read this Release, understand I’m waiving substantial rights, and sign it voluntarily without inducement. I’ve been advised to seek legal counsel and have either done so or chosen not to.

For Participants under 18:

Parent/Guardian Consent:

I, the undersigned parent or legal guardian, consent to the Participant’s involvement in the Activities and agree to all terms on their behalf.
