The University reserves the right to levy repair charges for damages to landscaping or any other part of the Property that may take place during reservation period.

• In consideration of the agreement of the University to allow the use the Property, I assumes all responsibility for any and all risks of property damage or bodily injury that I, my representatives and invitees may sustain while participating in any activities, demonstrations, exhibits, or events of any nature, including the use of the Property and any facilities on the Property. I understand that the use of the Property may involve known and unknown risks that may result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to User or to third parties, or damage to or loss of User’s property or the property of third parties.

I further agree that all participants are under my direct and complete supervision, and the University has no responsibility in this regard.  As such, I am liable for all damages incurred to any part of the University’s buildings, properties, facilities or equipment from the use of the Property by me or my participants.  In addition, the terms and conditions of this agreement do not require the University to relinquish its control of its facilities, equipment and services to me.  The University retains the right to require me or any of its participants to leave the University’s premises if the University determines that circumstances require it.  The University assumes no responsibility for theft or loss of personal property, or damage to personal property of mine or any of my participants.  The University assumes no liability whatsoever for any property placed by me in the University’s buildings, properties, or facilities.

I agree that this agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Tennessee, and agree that, if any portion thereof is held invalid, the balance is to continue in full force and effect.
