Demo Flight Signup Mobile (Minor Participants)

This Waiver and Release of Liability Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by the undersigned parent or legal guardian (“you” or “your”) of the minor child identified in the accompanying form submission, in connection with the Child’s request, made through you on the Child’s behalf, to participate in a demonstration flight in an experimental aircraft operated by Van's Aircraft, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”). You represent and warrant that you are the Child’s parent or court-appointed legal guardian and have full legal authority to consent to the Child’s participation in Flight Activities and to bind the Child to this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by law. You understand that this waiver applies to all ground and air operations related to the demonstration flight, including but not limited to entering, exiting, and riding in the experimental aircraft (collectively, “Flight Activities”).

You acknowledge, for yourself and on behalf of the Child, that Flight Activities involve inherent risks, dangers, and hazards (“Risks”) that may result in serious physical, mental, or emotional injury, illness, disability, death, property damage, or other losses to the Child or others. These Risks include, but are not limited to, aircraft accidents, collisions, equipment or mechanical failure, fire or smoke exposure, turbulence, hard or forced landings, pilot error or negligence, defects in the aircraft or its components, extreme or unpredictable weather conditions, interference by wildlife or foreign objects, and negligent medical care. You have read, understand, and accept all Risks disclosed herein, on behalf of yourself and the Child.

You understand and acknowledge that: (a) Flight Activities are inherently dangerous and you voluntarily elect to have the Child participate, (b) the Child’s participation is entirely at your option, and (c) you may choose not to have the Child participate. You accept and assume full responsibility, on behalf of yourself and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, on behalf of the Child, for all Risks and for any injury, illness, disability, death, property damage, or other loss arising from the Child’s participation in Flight Activities, to the maximum extent allowed by law, even if caused, in whole or in part, by the negligence of one or more of the Releasees (defined below).

For and in consideration of our permitting the Child’s participation in Flight Activities, you, individually and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of the Child, voluntarily release, discharge, waive, and relinquish all actions or causes of action (known or unknown) against us and our officers, agents, servants, or employees (“Releasees”) for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death arising from Flight Activities, whether caused by negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty. You, for yourself and on behalf of the Child, and the Child’s respective heirs, next of kin, personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, agents, assigns, and insurers, agree not to prosecute or present any claim against the Releasees for such actions, under any circumstances.

You further acknowledge that in some jurisdictions, a parent or legal guardian’s release of a minor’s own personal-injury claims may have limited legal effect, and that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the Child may retain the right after reaching the age of majority to pursue certain claims related to Flight Activities. The indemnification obligations described below apply regardless of whether such a claim is later asserted.

You agree that if you, the Child, or anyone on your or the Child’s behalf makes a claim or files a lawsuit against the Releasees — including any claim asserted by the Child after reaching the age of majority — you, your heirs, next of kin, personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, agents, assigns, and insurers will indemnify, defend, save, and hold harmless the Releasees from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss, liability, damages, or costs incurred.

Emergency Medical Treatment. You authorize Van's Aircraft, Inc. and its designated personnel to obtain emergency medical treatment for the Child if the Child is injured during Flight Activities and you cannot be immediately reached, at your expense. This authorization does not obligate us to provide medical care or a medical attendant.

Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or render them unenforceable in other jurisdictions. Provisions shall be enforced to the extent allowed by law.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction. All suits, actions, claims, or legal proceedings arising under this Agreement shall be governed by Oregon law, without regard to conflicts of law principles, and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in Marion County, Oregon. The parties irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Electronic Transaction Consent. By proceeding with this Agreement electronically, you consent to the use of electronic records, disclosures, and signatures in connection with this transaction, as provided under Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 84 and applicable federal law. You agree that your electronic signature (via click or checkbox) shall have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature. Van's Aircraft, Inc. will retain an electronic copy of this Agreement, including an audit trail associating your signature with this record (e.g., timestamp, IP address), which may be reproduced as needed.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF YOUR MINOR CHILD, THAT YOU MAY CHOOSE NOT TO SIGN IT, AND THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND VOLUNTARILY CONSENT, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND THE CHILD, TO BE BOUND BY IT AFTER HAVING HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.
