AGREES NOT TO SUE them on account of or in connection with any claims,
causes of action, injuries, damages, cost or expenses arising out of RIDER’s use of

limitation, those based on death, bodily injury, property damage, including
consequential damages, except if the damages are caused by the direct, willful and
wanton negligence of the INSTRUCTOR.
3.
RIDER agrees to waive the protection afforded by any statute or law in any
jurisdiction whose purpose, substance and/or effect is to provide that a general
release shall not extend to claims, material or otherwise, which the person giving
