I agree to abide by all rules established by the club, including the right of any official to deny or suspend my participation for any reason whatsoever. I understand that bicycles, skateboards, roller skates, and roller blades are not allowed to be used in club organized activities unless specifically mentioned and approved of in advance. Additionally, I understand that oppressive and offensive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated, and all club activities are clean and sober.

Having read this waiver and knowing these facts and inconsideration of your accepting my membership, I, for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf, waive and release the ACTIVE COLOR and the city of Oakland, their representatives and successors from all claims or liabilities of any kind arising out of my participation with the ACTIVE COLOR, even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons named in this waiver.
