These risks encompass the potential for physical or emotional injury, paralysis, fatality, or harm to the Lessee, their invitees, individuals utilizing the Equipment, neighbours, persons present on the property where the Equipment is installed, as well as damage to the real and moveable Property where they are situated, and adjacent real and moveable properties, including but not limited to damage to underground irrigation systems (aka, water sprinklers). The Lessee acknowledges that these risks are inherent and cannot be entirely mitigated without compromising the fundamental nature of the activity.

Additionally, the Lessee recognizes that invitees, individuals utilizing the Equipment, neighbours, and persons present on the property where the Equipment is installed may encounter various risks, including but not limited to falling off equipment, spraining or fracturing limbs, and sustaining severe injuries such as brain or spinal injuries. Movement within the Bounce Houses and Waterslides also presents potential risks. Activities involving multiple participants may lead to collisions resulting in broken bones and other serious injuries.

In the event of an injury requiring medical assistance, the Lessee understands that the associated expenses will be incurred at their own cost.
  3. The Lessee acknowledges that the Lessor and its employees bear challenging responsibilities and may not be infallible.

The Lessor understands that, in most cases, the Equipment must be anchored into the ground using metal stakes that may penetrate the earth between 12 and 24 inches. If the metal stakes are inserted directly above an irrigation pipe, there is a risk of damaging the irrigation system, which could result in financial loss.
  2. In addition to other agreements to defend and indemnify contained in this contract, and for further clarity, the Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor from any losses, damages, or liabilities arising due to damage to an undisclosed irrigation system caused by the installation of the Equipment.

Waiver of Liability, General Release and Indemnity:

This General Release, Indemnity and Hold Harmless provisions apply to, but are not limited to, any injury, death, damage, claim or liability which may arise on account of the negligence, whether active or passive, of Lessor or Lessor's suppliers, agents, employees, contractors, drivers or installers.

  3. In the event of Total Loss of the Equipment, the Lessee will provide the Lessor with prompt written notice of such loss and will pay to the Lessor all unpaid Rent for the Term plus the Casualty Value of the Equipment, at which point ownership of the Equipment passes to the Lessee.

Ownership, Right to Lease and Quiet Enjoyment

  2. On written demand by the Lessor, the Lessee will provide the Lessor with an original policy or certificate evidencing any such contract of insurance which may provide insurance coverage for loss arising from the use or operation of the Equipment, including but not limited to all policies that the Lessee or the Lessee’s spouse are named as insured persons, the homeowner’s policy for the property where the Equipment was used at, and any umbrella or Commercial General Liability policies, or any other insurance policy/policies which may provide coverage in the event of a loss arising from the use or operation of the Equipment.
