I hereby agree not to make any claim for injury of any nature which I or any family member may sustain by reason of the foregoing participation, and agree not to make any claim for injuries or damage to me, my family or dog, unless brought about due to gross negligence of DPCA, its agents, members, representatives or employees (if any). In further consideration of the foregoing and as an inducement to my participation in a DPCA Agility seminar, I do hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless and make no claim against any DPCA members, agents, representatives or employees (if any), except to the extent that any injury is brought about by the gross negligence of DPCA, or such members, agents, representatives, etc. I covenant and agree to make no claim against DPCA or any of its members or representatives unless such injuries are brought about by gross negligence, as aforesaid.
