Anytime you use the Bike Streets maps, Services, or Content, including but not limited to: downloading, viewing, using, or printing any Bike Streets information, maps, or content; participating in a Bike Streets event, program or workshop; and/or riding on a Bike Streets route (defined collectively as the “Activity”) you are expressly agreeing to our Terms of Use, Release Of Liability, Waiver Of Claims, Assumption Of Risk & Indemnity Agreement, and Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, you cannot participate in the Activity or use our resources. 

Though you still need to read the entire document, some of the key points of this Release and Waiver are highlighted here:

• THE ACTIVITY IS HAZARDOUS AND MAY CAUSE PHYSICAL INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Participating in the Activity may be physically challenging and may pose a risk of discomfort, illness, injury, and even death. You need to be satisfied that you are skilled in how to ride a bicycle on city streets in traffic and that you are physically capable of participating in the Activity without undue risk to your health or your life. We do not conduct health or fitness checks on participants.

• YOU EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVITY. The Activity involves inherent risks and dangers to participants and you participate at your own risk. You assume full and complete risk and responsibility for any discomfort, illness, injury, death, or accident which may result from your participation in the Activity. You’re responsible at all times for your conduct and its consequences.

• BIKE STREETS CANNOT GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF ANY OF ITS ROUTES. Bike Streets suggests routes that it believes will provide an enjoyable riding experience, however all routes are subject to the inherent dangers of the Activity. Routes may change or become less safe or enjoyable (or unsafe/unusable) at any time due to traffic, events, construction, potholes or road surface degradation, changes in traffic patterns, weather, sun/glare, and any number of other factors. Changes in conditions and suitability may occur at any time and may not be reflected in any maps you may use. As such, you agree to use your own judgment as to the best routes to take, not to participate in the Activity if it appears unsafe, and to release Bike Streets and the Released Parties from any and all liability associated with the Activity, as further set forth below.

• THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY & WAIVER OF CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE OR CLAIM COMPENSATION. This Release and Waiver is a legally binding contract that fully incorporates by reference the entire Bike Streets Terms of Use, which is located at: bikestreets.com/terms and the entire Bike Streets Privacy Policy, which is located at: bikestreets.com/privacy. Both of those documents are also contracts you are agreeing to be bound by.

• IN CONSIDERATION FOR BEING ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITY, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST AND TO HOLD HARMLESS, RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND AGREE NOT TO SUE BIKE STREETS OR THE RELEASED PARTIES.

10. Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Mandatory Arbitration. Except as prohibited by law,  all disputes arising under or related to this Release and Waiver which cannot be resolved through negotiations between the parties shall be submitted to binding arbitration. If the parties fail to reach a settlement of their dispute within fifteen (15) days after the earliest date upon which one of the parties notified the other(s) of its desire to attempt to resolve the dispute, then the dispute shall be promptly submitted to arbitration by a single arbitrator through the Judicial Arbiter Group ("JAG"), any successor of the JAG, or any similar arbitration provider who can provide a former judge to conduct such arbitration if JAG is no longer in existence. If the parties are unable to agree upon the arbitrator, the arbiter shall be selected by the scheduling coordinator for JAG on the basis, if possible, of his or her expertise in the subject matter(s) of the dispute. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, non-appealable and binding upon the parties, and it may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration shall take place in Denver, Colorado.  The arbitrator shall be bound by the laws of the State of Colorado applicable to the issues involved in the arbitration and all Colorado rules relating to the admissibility of evidence, including, without limitation, all relevant privileges and the attorney work product doctrine. All discovery shall be completed in accordance with the time limitations prescribed in the Colorado rules of civil procedure, unless otherwise agreed by the parties or ordered by the arbitrator on the basis of strict necessity adequately demonstrated by the party requesting an extension of time. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant equitable relief where applicable under Colorado law, and shall be entitled to make an award of punitive damages when applicable under Colorado law. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion setting forth his or her decision and the reasons therefor within thirty (30) days after the arbitration proceeding is concluded.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek and obtain an injunction or other appropriate relief from a court only to preserve or protect trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property or confidential information or to preserve the status quo with respect to any matter pending conclusion of the arbitration proceeding, but no such application to a court shall in any way be permitted to stay or otherwise impede the progress of the arbitration proceeding. 

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

11. SURVIVAL. This Release and Waiver shall survive the termination, expiration or cancelation of any other Bike Streets Agreements including but not limited to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

12. Selection of Counsel. Any party obligated to provide a defense hereunder shall do so with qualified counsel with demonstrable experience defending claims of the type to be defended who is selected by the party providing the defense, and such counsel shall be deemed to have been approved by the party to be defended, without further action by said party, unless the party to be defended establishes: (i) a substantive conflict of interest with such counsel; or (ii) a substantial cause or reason to withhold such approval.

13.  Waiver. A waiver of any default, breach or non-compliance under this Waiver and Release is not effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be bound by the waiver. No waiver shall be inferred from or implied by any failure to act or delay in acting by a party in respect of any default, breach, non-observance or by anything done or omitted to be done by another party.

14. Updates. Should the terms of this Release and Wavier be updated at any time, you agree to be bound by the most recent version that is in place at the time you participate in any Activity.
