Shy 38 Inc. | Assumption of Risk, Release, and Emergency Consent

PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS LEGAL RIGHTS. By signing, an adult participant accepts the risks described below and releases certain claims, including claims based on ordinary negligence, to the extent Kansas law permits.

Kansas domestic animal activity warning:

WARNING Under Kansas law, there is no liability for an injury to or the death of a participant in domestic animal activities resulting from the inherent risks of domestic animal activities, pursuant to K.S.A. 60-4001 through 60-4004. You are assuming the risk of participating in this domestic animal activity.

Inherent risks of domestic animal activities include, but shall not be limited to: (1) The propensity of a domestic animal to behave in ways, i.e., running, bucking, biting, kicking, shying, stumbling, rearing, falling or stepping on, that may result in an injury, harm or death to persons on or around them; (2) the unpredictability of a domestic animal’s reaction to such things as sounds, sudden movement and unfamiliar objects, persons or other animals; (3) certain hazards such as surface and subsurface conditions; (4) collisions with other domestic animals or objects; and (5) the potential of a participant to act in a negligent manner that may contribute to injury to the participant or others, such as failing to maintain control over the domestic animal or not acting within such participant’s ability. This notice concerns the domestic animal activity statute; it does not eliminate exceptions or duties imposed by law.

Activities and risks:

“Activities” include entering or being on Shy 38 Inc.’s property; visiting, tours, events, educational activities, and photography; volunteering, construction, repair, cleaning, feeding, gardening, animal care, or other work; and being near, observing, touching, feeding, or handling animals. Activities may occur around cows, pigs, goats, sheep, horses, miniature horses, chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and other animals. Participation may involve farm buildings, pens, pastures, barns, fences, gates, tools, equipment, vehicles, and outdoor areas.

I understand that these activities involve known and unknown risks, including serious injury, illness, disability, death, or property loss. Risks include animal bites, pecks, scratches, kicks, head-butting, crushing, trampling, being knocked down, startled or unpredictable animal movement, animal escape, and contact with animals that are sick, injured, protective, or unfamiliar. Other risks include uneven, muddy, wet, icy, or manure-covered ground; holes, rocks, fencing, wire, gates, low or overhead structures; tools and machinery; lifting and repetitive work; falling objects; dust, hay, mold, insects, weather, heat, cold, lightning, and dehydration; infectious disease and zoonotic exposure; allergies; and acts or omissions of other people.

I understand that Shy 38 Inc. cannot eliminate all risks inherent in animal and farm activities. I choose to participate voluntarily, accept the risks of injury, illness, death, and property damage, and agree to follow instructions and posted rules. I will not enter an animal enclosure, touch or feed an animal, use equipment, or perform a task unless authorized and instructed to do so.

SHY 38 INC. | VOLUNTEER AND VISITOR FORM

Release of claims:

In exchange for permission to enter the property or take part in Activities, I, for myself and my heirs, estate, personal representatives, and assigns, release and agree not to sue Shy 38 Inc., the property owner(s), and each of their directors, officers, employees, agents, and authorized volunteers (together, the “Released Parties”) for claims for personal injury, illness, death, or property damage arising out of or connected with my presence or participation, including claims caused in whole or in part by the ordinary negligence of a Released Party, to the fullest extent permitted by Kansas law. This includes ordinary negligence concerning premises conditions, animal handling or control, instructions, supervision, equipment, or failure to warn of a risk.

This release does not apply to claims that Kansas law does not allow a person to waive, including claims arising from gross negligence, willful, wanton, or intentional misconduct, or any other nonwaivable legal duty. Nothing in this form changes any protection, exception, or limitation provided by applicable Kansas law.

Personal property and responsibility:

I am responsible for my own belongings and for damage I cause through my intentional or reckless conduct. I will not be responsible under this form for a Released Party’s own negligence. I understand that Shy 38 Inc. does not provide personal accident, health, or property insurance for visitors or volunteers, unless it separately informs me in writing that a specific policy applies.

Health, hygiene, and safety rules:

Follow all instructions from Shy 38 Inc. staff or the volunteer lead. Stop work and report any injury, unsafe condition, escaped animal, or animal behavior concern promptly.

Stay in authorized areas; close and latch gates; never prop open a gate or enter an enclosure without permission. Do not chase, corner, lift, ride, startle, or feed animals unless specifically instructed.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes and clothing suitable for outdoor farm work. Use any safety equipment provided and do not use tools, machinery, ladders, vehicles, or powered equipment unless authorized and trained.

Wash hands after animal contact or work in animal areas. Do not eat, drink, or touch your face in animal-care areas. Tell the volunteer lead about allergies, mobility limits, or other conditions that may affect safe participation.

Children must remain under the direct supervision of their parent or legal guardian. No smoking, vaping, alcohol, or impairment during Activities. Follow biosecurity and animal-care directions.

Emergency medical authorization:

If I am injured or become ill and cannot provide instructions, I authorize Shy 38 Inc. to contact emergency services and request reasonable emergency assistance. I understand that Shy 38 Inc. is not providing medical care and that I am responsible for medical, ambulance, and related expenses. I consent to emergency first aid by a person who reasonably believes it is appropriate, while understanding that no person is required to provide treatment.

SHY 38 INC. | VOLUNTEER AND VISITOR FORM

Volunteer status:

If I am volunteering, I understand my service is voluntary and unpaid. This form does not create an employment relationship, promise a particular assignment, or guarantee insurance or workers’ compensation benefits. I may stop volunteering at any time, and Shy 38 Inc. may end or change my participation at any time. This paragraph does not waive rights that cannot legally be waived.

Minors:

A parent or legal guardian must complete this section before a person under 18 may participate. The minor may participate only with the parent/guardian’s permission and direct supervision, unless Shy 38 Inc. has approved another written supervision plan. The adult participant signing this form releases the adult’s own claims as stated above. The parent/guardian’s signature gives permission and confirms the adult’s own acknowledgments; it does not purport to waive the minor’s independent personal injury claims. Kansas counsel should review any policy for minors before use.

Acknowledgment and signature:

I have read this entire form, including the Kansas domestic animal activity warning. I understand that I am giving up legal rights for myself, including the right to bring certain claims for ordinary negligence. I have had the opportunity to ask questions, I sign voluntarily, and I intend this form to be binding to the fullest extent permitted by Kansas law. I understand this form applies to the Activities identified above on the date(s) listed and to later visits or volunteer service until I provide written notice revoking it or Shy 38 Inc. issues a replacement form. Revocation does not affect claims or events that occurred before revocation.

Kansas law and general terms

Kansas law governs this form. Any lawsuit concerning it must be filed in a court with jurisdiction in Jefferson County, Kansas, unless applicable law requires another venue. If a court finds part of this form unenforceable, the rest remains in effect to the extent allowed by law. This form is the entire agreement about assumption of risk and release for the Activities described above; changes must be in a writing signed by the participant and Shy 38 Inc. A scanned or electronic signature and counterpart are treated as an original to the extent permitted by law.

Kansas statutory notice included from K.S.A. 60-4004. The domestic animal activity statute does not eliminate the exceptions described in K.S.A. 60-4003.
