15. Release and Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, I release and discharge Trip Eighteen Golf LLC, doing business as Trip18, together with its members, managers, officers, employees, representatives, agents, and contractors acting within the scope of their relationship with Trip18 (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from claims arising from the ordinary and inherent risks of activities covered by this Agreement.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, this release is also intended to apply to claims arising from the ordinary negligence of a Released Party in connection with the activities covered by this Agreement.
This Agreement does not release claims that cannot legally be waived, including liability to the extent arising from conduct for which a waiver is prohibited by applicable law.
16. Independent Supplier Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Trip18 is not responsible for the independent acts or omissions of separately owned and operated Suppliers.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to release an independent Supplier from liability where such liability cannot legally be waived.
I understand that claims involving an independent Supplier may be governed by that Supplier's own agreement, applicable law, or both.
17. Medical Treatment and Emergency Assistance
If I become injured or ill and am unable to provide instructions, I authorize Trip18 personnel to contact emergency services and provide my emergency contact information when reasonably necessary.

I understand that Trip18 strongly recommends comprehensive travel insurance, including appropriate medical and emergency evacuation coverage.
I understand that my domestic health insurance may provide limited or no coverage outside my home country.
I am responsible for determining whether I have adequate insurance.
My decision to purchase or decline insurance does not alter the risks associated with participation.

-
Golf clubs
-
Golf equipment
-
Luggage
-
Electronics

Passports
-
Money

20. Compliance with Local Laws and Rules
I agree to comply with applicable laws, regulations, safety requirements, golf course rules, tournament rules, hotel policies, vessel rules, and reasonable instructions from activity providers.
I understand that failure to comply may result in removal from an activity or Trip18 experience without refund where permitted under the applicable booking terms.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from:
-
My intentional misconduct
-
My unlawful conduct
-
My material violation of safety instructions
-
Property damage caused by my negligent or intentional actions
-
Injury I negligently or intentionally cause to another person
This provision does not require me to indemnify a Released Party for liability that applicable law prohibits from being shifted to me.
22. No Guarantee of Safety
I understand that Trip18 and its Suppliers may take reasonable precautions intended to promote participant safety, but no activity or travel experience can be made completely risk-free.
I acknowledge that safety precautions cannot eliminate every potential hazard.
23. Voluntary Withdrawal From an Activity
If I believe an activity presents a risk I am unwilling to accept, I may decline to participate or discontinue participation when reasonably possible.
I understand that voluntarily declining or discontinuing an activity does not automatically entitle me to a refund.
Refund eligibility is governed by the applicable Trip18 Cancellation & Refund Policy and booking terms.
24. Governing Law
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any mandatory rights or laws applicable to activities occurring in another jurisdiction remain applicable where they cannot legally be waived.
25. Dispute Resolution and Venue
Before commencing formal legal proceedings, the participant and Trip18 agree to make a reasonable good-faith effort to resolve the dispute directly.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, any legal proceeding arising from this Agreement involving Trip18 will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Utah unless applicable law requires another jurisdiction or venue.
26. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
27. Electronic Acceptance and Signature
