I hereby assert that my participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks.

Waiver — I hereby agree to waive, and to release and discharge SkullSpace and its board of directors ("the board") from, any and all claims for any loss or personal injury that might arise from my participation in SkullSpace or my use of the Hackerspace. I agree not to sue SkullSpace or any members of the board or former members of the board in respect of any such claim.

Indemnity — I also agree to indemnify and hold SkullSpace and the board harmless from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including attorney's fees brought as a result of my involvement in SkullSpace or my use of the Hackerspace, and to reimburse them for any such expenses incurred.
