I understand that Hope Air may contract third parties to carry out the Services, including but not limited to commercial and private air carriers, hotels, and restaurants (the “Contracted Third Parties”). I understand that accessing and participating in the Services exposes me to inherent risk, including but not limited to the risk of property damage or injury associated with travel.

In exchange for accessing and participating in the Services, I agree to all the terms and conditions set out in this document (the "Waiver and Release").

I agree not to make or bring any such claim against the Organization, and forever release and discharge the Organization from liability under such claims.
  3. I agree that I will be solely responsible for all claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses, actions, and causes of action, whether in law or in equity, resulting from any loss, personal injury, or property damage arising from my access to or participation in the Services
  4. If any term or provision of this Waiver and Release is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
  5. This Waiver and Release will be binding on me and my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and the Organization and its successors and assigns.
  6. This Waiver and Release will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada.
