• The Rocky Mountains are full of wildlife, and pets are at risk of being attacked and disturbing wildlife. We respect the wildlife living amongst us first and foremost.

We can provide names of local pet-sitting services if you decide this is not a good fit for your pet.

Assumption of the Risk and Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19

The coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

AVR has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, we cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, staying at AVR could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.

By signing this Agreement, I acknowledge for myself and on behalf of my family the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected with COVID-19 by staying at AVR and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected with COVID-19 at AVR may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, the Operator, the Property Owners and their employees, volunteers, and other guests and their families.

I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my and my child(ren)’s attendance at AVR or participation in AVR Activities (“Claims”).

On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Operator, Property Owners, their employees, agents, and representatives, from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Operator, the Property Owners, their employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any AVR activity or stay at the Property.

MISCELLANEOUS TERM:

ARM’S LENGTH AGREEMENT. This Agreement and each of its terms are the product of an arm’s length negotiation between the Camper and the Operator and Property Owners (“Parties”). In the event any ambiguity is found to exist in the interpretation of this Agreement, or any of its provisions, the Parties, and each of them, explicitly reject the application of any legal or equitable rule of interpretation which would lead to a construction either “for” or “against” a particular party based upon their status as the drafter of a specific term, language, or provision giving rise to such ambiguity.

ENFORCEABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement, whether standing alone or as applied to a particular occurrence or circumstance, shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement or of any other applications of such provision, as the case may be, and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement.
