RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK The individual named below (referred to as “I†or “meâ€) desires to participate in the conference event Vet Quest Travel CE (the “Activityâ€) provided by Asklepios CE, LLC based in Ohio, doing business as Vet Quest Travel CE (“VQTâ€).  In consideration of being permitted by VQT to engage in the Activity and the intangible value that I will gain by participating in the Activity, and in recognition of the VQT’s reliance hereon, I agree to all the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this “Releaseâ€). 

1. I am aware and understand that the Activity is a potentially dangerous activity and involves the risk of serious injury, disability, death, and/or property damage. I acknowledge that these risks may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of VQT employees or others, including negligent emergency response or rescue operations of VQT. I understand that while the VQT has implemented measures to reduce the risk of injury from the Activity, VQT cannot guarantee that I will not be injured due to my participation in the Activity. NOTWITHSTANDING THESE RISKS, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED. I HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM MY PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITY, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF VQT OR OTHERWISE. 
2. I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims, now known or hereafter known, against VQT, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, members, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Releaseesâ€), on account of injury, illness, disability, death, or property damage arising out of or attributable to my participation in the Activity, whether arising out of the ordinary negligence of VQT or any Releasees or otherwise. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against VQT or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge VQT and all other Releasees from liability under such claims. This waiver and release does not extend to claims for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any other liabilities that Ohio law does not permit to be released by agreement. 
3. I confirm that I am: (a) in good health, in proper physical condition, and do not have any medical or other conditions that would impair my ability to participate in the Activity. I will comply with all federal, state, and local laws, orders, directives, and guidelines related to the Activity while participating in the Activity. I will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and cautions of VQT at all times during the Activity. If at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe, that I am no longer in proper physical condition to participate in the Activity, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity and/or not attend the Activity. 
4. I shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless VQT and all other Releasees against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorney fees, fees, the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification under this Release, and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, incurred by or awarded against VQT or any other Releasees, arising out or resulting from any claim of a third party related to my participation in the Activity, including any claim related to my own negligence or the ordinary negligence of VQT. 
5. I hereby consent to receive medical treatment deemed necessary if I am injured or require medical attention during my participation in the Activity. I understand and agree that I am solely responsible for all costs related to such medical treatment and any related medical transportation and/or evacuation. I hereby release, forever discharge, and hold harmless VQT from any claim based on such treatment or other medical services. 
6. This Release constitutes the sole and entire agreement of VQT and me with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. If any term or provision of this Release is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Release or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. This Release is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of VQT and me and our respective successors and assigns. All matters arising out of or relating to this Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Ohio or any other jurisdiction). Any claim or cause of action arising under this Release may be brought only in the federal and state courts located in Franklin County, Ohio, and I hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. 

BY AGREEING, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS RELEASE AND THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE VQT.
