CIVILIAN RESPONDER ONE TRAINING
WAIVER & RELEASE OF LIABILITY
1. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISKS & ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I, the undersigned, recognize that participation in medical readiness training—including hemorrhage control,
airway management, chest seal application, and related emergency medical techniques ("Training")—involves inherent
risks including but not limited to: physical strain, potential injury from training equipment, emotional stress
from realistic scenarios, and exposure to graphic medical content. I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME
THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH that may result from participating in this Training.
Texas courts uphold express assumption of risk when participants knowingly accept inherent activity risks.
(McCurry v. Spangler, 2014 WL 5488411 (Tex. App.))
2. RELEASE & WAIVER OF CLAIMS
In consideration for being permitted to participate in Training, I hereby waive, release, and discharge
Medic Team One, LLC, its instructors, agents, employees, and affiliates from all liability,
claims, demands, and causes of action arising from NEGLIGENCE-related injuries or damages
resulting from my participation in Training activities. I RELEASE MEDIC TEAM ONE, LLC FROM ANY
LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE in connection with this Training.
This release complies with Texas express negligence doctrine, which permits waivers of future negligence
liability when fair notice is provided. (Dresser Indus., Inc. v. Page Petroleum, Inc., 853 S.W.2d 505 (Tex. 1993))
3. INDEMNIFICATION
I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Medic Team One, LLC and associated parties from any damages,
liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from my actions,
conduct, or negligence during Training participation.
Indemnification clauses are enforceable in Texas when properly disclosed and conspicuous.
(Ethyl Corp. v. Daniel Constr. Co., 725 S.W.2d 705 (Tex. 1987))
4. TRAINING LIMITATIONS & MEDICAL DISCLAIMER
I acknowledge this Training is educational only and does not confer medical licensure,
EMS certification, or authorization to practice medicine. No guarantees regarding clinical efficacy or
emergency response outcomes are made or implied. Training content is based on published medical guidelines
and designed for civilian emergency preparedness. This Training does not substitute for professional
medical care, and skills taught are intended for emergency first aid only.
5. MEDICAL & FITNESS REPRESENTATIONS
I represent that I am physically and mentally fit to participate in Training activities. I have disclosed
any medical conditions that might affect my participation. I authorize emergency medical treatment if
needed during Training.
6. GOOD SAMARITAN LAW PROTECTION
I understand that Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §74.151 (Good Samaritan Act) provides legal
protection for individuals offering good-faith emergency aid, except in cases of willful or wanton negligence.
Texas Good Samaritan Law shields emergency responders from liability for ordinary negligence.
(Texas Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 74.151)
7. GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION
This waiver is governed by Texas state law. Any disputes arising under this Waiver
shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Montgomery County, Texas. I understand
that these liability protections do NOT apply to gross negligence, willful misconduct,
or intentionally harmful actions—Texas courts do not enforce waivers for such conduct.
Texas law prohibits waiver enforcement for gross negligence or intentional misconduct. Venue clauses
strengthen enforceability by establishing clear jurisdiction.
8. VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT & SEVERABILITY
I have read this waiver, understand its contents, and sign it freely and voluntarily. No oral
representations, statements, or inducements have been made apart from this written agreement.
If any portion of this Waiver is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall
remain in full force and effect.
