IT IS MY/OUR INTENTION THAT THIS RELEASE AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT SHALL APPLY TO ALL OF THE CLAIMS WITHOUT LIMIT AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER FOUNDED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ON ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR ANY OTHER PERSON.

Participant’s indemnity obligations, however, shall not apply to any Claims that are caused solely by the gross negligence or intentional acts or omission of a Released Party. I understand the effect of my signing this document is that each Participant: (i) assumes all risk of injury, death, or property damage articipant or any person for whom Participant is signing, might suffer as a result of participation in the activity/tour/program, even if it occurs as a result of the negligence or other fault of any Released Party herein or other person; (ii) absolves and releases the released Parties, and each of them, from the consequences of their negligence and/or other fault; (iii) will indemnify and defend the Released Parties against any Claims; and (iv) gives up any right to sue any Released Party.

Except for the health matters listed on the reverse, each Participant is in good physical health and able to tolerate the physical demands of the program/trip/tour.

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance hereunder, including, without limitation, any claim relating to bodily injury, property damage or death, shall be determined and settled by arbitration in Incline Village, Nevada, in accordance with the rules of neutral arbitration applying the laws of state of Nevada. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon each of the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the controversy. This agreement to arbitrate does not waive or modify the release and indemnity stated in this Agreement.

I have read and understand this Agreement, which contains the entire and final agreement relating to the subject matter hereof. Its terms shall be binding on me and on my heirs, legal representatives and assigns. Liability by a Participant under this Agreement shall be joint and several. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void, unenforceable, ineffective, or against public policy, that provision shall be disregarded and deemed removed from this Agreement without affecting the remaining provisions hereof. The terms of this Agreement are contractual and not mere recitals.

THIS WAIVER AND SAVE HARMLESS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA DESPITE THE LOCATION OF THE ACTIVITY/PROGRAM/TOUR.

Tour Terms and Conditions

IMPORTANT! Please read carefully. One of the foundations of a great tour is for clear expectations to be set in advance. The following is laid out so we can focus on enjoying our tour once it starts instead of dealing with logistics.

GUIDING FEES

  • The Guiding Fee you pay is the price quoted at the time you make your booking.
  • All prices are in US Dollars.
  • Payments are accepted in US Dollars only, by cash, check, or Zelle. PayPal may be used for a $5 fee for half-days and $10 for full-days. Wire transfers and direct credit card payments are not accepted.
  • A $50 deposit per day is required at time of booking to secure your reservation, with the balance payable at the conclusion of your tour. In the case of a cancellation, deposits will be returned in full if cancelled 30 days prior to the tour start. Cancellations within 30 days-notice will only be refunded if another tour can be rebooked on the scheduled dates. Reservations are not confirmed until a deposit has been received.
  • If Red Tail Adventures, LLC cancels a tour prior to its start, a full refund will be given, less any un-refundable expenditures. If a tour is canceled or shortened due to weather or other circumstances beyond the control of Red Tail Adventures, Red Tail Adventures will use its best efforts to re-schedule the tour or, at its discretion, provide an equitable adjustment.

ENTRANCE FEES

  • If we visit fee areas (State and National Parks, National Forest, etc.) you are responsible for paying fees for all members of the group, including your guide. We can advise you of the current fees for areas we may visit, but these are subject to change without notice.

VEHICLES

  • If we use my car (4x4 SUV, three passengers are comfortable, four passengers max), some dirt roads are realistically unpassable, even for a relatively high clearance 4×4. However, we will go to most, if not all the well-known birding sites in my vehicle, given suitable conditions and the limitations of my vehicle.
  • If you provide the vehicle, please note that while most of Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, and Great Basin birding sites are perfectly accessible in any car, even ones along dirt roads, a few locations absolutely require high clearance. Four-wheel drive is preferable, especially in winter. Any damage done to your vehicle by attempting to drive on unsuitable roads or in unsuitable conditions for your vehicle is your sole and complete responsibility. Proof of adequate auto insurance must be provided.

RELEASES/MEDICAL FORMS

  • All participants must first sign a liability release and waiver as well as a medical information from prior to a tour.

DRAWING BIRDS IN

  • The sensible use of phishing, owl imitations, and audio playback may be used at times, but only in the appropriate circumstances. Playback may not be appropriate for certain species any time of the year and for other species during specific times of year. Please follow all instructions of your guide to know what is appropriate.

HAZARDS

  • Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, and the Great Basin can have many hazards! Your safety is the number one priority. While birding at Lake Tahoe and in the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin are generally safe, risks such as snakes, biting insects, winter weather, rugged country, and various other potential dangers are out of the control of Red Tail Adventures, LLC. You are responsible for your own well-being and are expected to prepare, dress, and behave accordingly.

WEATHER

  • Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, and areas of the Great Basin are in high altitude mountains that are subject to rapidly changing weather conditions. What may start out as a calm sunny day can quickly change to heavy snow, thunderstorms, rapid temperature changes or other weather conditions. Extra layers and clothing are recommended to plan for the unexpected.

ALTITUDE

  • Lake Tahoe is at 6,225 feet and much of the Great Basin is above 4,500 feet. Birding in the area and also in the Great Basin could take participants up to 9,000 feet and in some cases, depending on the desired birds and/or locations, over 10,000 feet. As a result, participants should be aware of the potential effects of altitude and be prepared to properly hydrate.

TRAVEL AND TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE

  • Travel and Trip Cancellation Insurance are highly recommended to protect yourself from unforeseen losses due to accident or illness. Check with your insurance agent regarding the appropriate coverage.

SMOKING

  • Smoking is not permitted indoors or in vehicles while on a Red Tail Adventures, LLC tour. If you smoke, please be sensitive to others and be aware that much of Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, and the Great Basin are very dry habitats that are prone to wildfires.
