As the representative of the organization below, I agree that for all the organization's participants, their heirs, executors and administrators will not sue and will release, indemnify and hold harmless the City of Kingsville, its employees, elected officials, affiliates, officers, directors and volunteers; Kleberg County; and sponsoring businesses and organizations and their agents and employees, from any and all liability, claims, demands, and causes of action whatsoever, arising out of participation in this event and related activities — whether it results from the negligence of any of the above or from any other cause. This release and indemnification agreement shall be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the State of Texas. If any portion of it is held invalid, the balance shall continue in full force and effect. I shall ensure the sponsoring organization takes appropriate measures to alleviate risk.
