THE GOODRICH MILL — EVENT LIABILITY WAIVER AND RELEASE
By booking a rental at The Goodrich Mill ("Venue"), and by electronically signing this Waiver at the time of booking, I, the Renter named on the reservation, acknowledge and agree to the following:
1. HISTORIC PREMISES. The Goodrich Mill is a 107-year-old historic grain elevator located at 106 N Main Street, Farmland, Indiana 47340, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Use of the premises involves inherent characteristics of a historic building, including original hardwood flooring, exposed brick walls, stairs to the loft level, a covered exterior deck at grade level, and proximity to active railroad tracks.
2. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. I voluntarily assume all risks associated with my use of the premises and my event, including but not limited to slips, trips, falls, noise from passing trains, weather-related conditions on the outdoor deck, and any incidents arising from the physical characteristics of a historic structure.
3. FIRE SAFETY. Open flames of any kind — including but not limited to candles with real wicks, sparklers, torches, incense, and cooking equipment producing open flame — are STRICTLY PROHIBITED on the premises. Only battery-operated and flameless decorative lighting is permitted. Violation of this clause is grounds for immediate termination of the event without refund.
4. CAPACITY LIMIT. Maximum occupancy is forty (40) persons at all times, inclusive of guests, vendors, and children. I will enforce this limit at my event. Exceeding capacity is grounds for immediate termination of the event without refund and forfeiture of the damage deposit.
5. PERSONAL PROPERTY. The Venue is not responsible for any loss, theft, or damage to personal property of the Renter, guests, vendors, or invitees. All personal items must be removed at the end of the rental period.
6. CONDUCT. I am responsible for the conduct of all guests, vendors, and invitees during my rental. I agree that no unlawful activity, including but not limited to underage drinking or illegal drug use, will occur on the premises. The Venue reserves the right to terminate the event for unsafe or unlawful conduct without refund.
7. RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION. I hereby release, waive, and discharge The Goodrich Mill, its owners, operators, employees, and agents (collectively, "Released Parties") from any and all liability, claims, demands, costs, or causes of action arising out of or related to my use of the premises, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Released Parties. I agree to indemnify and hold the Released Parties harmless from any claims made by my guests, vendors, or invitees arising from my event.
8. INSURANCE. I acknowledge that event liability insurance is required for this rental and that I have provided (or will provide prior to my event) proof of such insurance naming The Goodrich Mill as an additional insured.
9. GOVERNING LAW. This Waiver shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana. Any dispute shall be resolved in the courts of Randolph County, Indiana.
I have read and understood this Waiver in its entirety, and I sign it voluntarily and without duress.
