Release, Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk & Indemnification Agreement
Event Shuttle Transportation — I Drive Y'all Ride, LLC
In consideration of being permitted to use the event shuttle transportation services provided by I Drive Y'all Ride, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("the Company," "we," or "us"), I ("Passenger," "I," or "me") knowingly and voluntarily enter into this Release, Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") and agree to the following terms.
1. Scope of Services
The Company is providing group shuttle transportation between defined pickup and drop-off points as coordinated with the event host. The service is limited to transportation only. The Company is not the event host, does not control the event venue, and is not responsible for any activity, service, food, beverage, entertainment, or premises at any pickup, drop-off, or destination location.
2. Assumption of Risk
I understand and acknowledge that shuttle transportation, like any motor vehicle activity, carries inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken. These risks include, but are not limited to:
- Motor vehicle accidents, collisions, and sudden stops
- Slips, trips, and falls while boarding, riding, or disembarking
- Injuries caused by the actions, conduct, or negligence of other passengers
- Road, weather, traffic, and mechanical conditions beyond our control
- Exposure to communicable illness that may be present among other passengers
- Lost, stolen, or damaged personal belongings
I voluntarily and knowingly assume all such risks, whether known or unknown, for myself and (if applicable) for each minor I am signing on behalf of.
3. Release & Waiver of Claims
To the fullest extent permitted by Texas law, I hereby RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE the Company, its owners, members, managers, officers, drivers, employees, contractors, agents, insurers, affiliates, and the event host (collectively, "Released Parties") from any and all liability, claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, costs, or expenses, whether in law or equity, arising from or related to my use of the shuttle service — including claims arising from the ordinary negligence of any Released Party, but excluding claims arising from their gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intentional acts.
4. Indemnification
I agree to INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS the Released Parties from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or attorneys' fees brought by any third party (including other passengers, the event host, or venues) arising out of or related to: (a) my conduct or the conduct of any minor I am signing for; (b) my or their violation of this Agreement; (c) my or their use of alcohol, drugs, or medications during or before the service; or (d) damage I or they cause to any Company vehicle or property.
5. Parent / Legal Guardian Provisions
If I have indicated I am signing as a parent or legal guardian for one or more minors, I represent that I have full legal authority to do so, and I execute this Agreement on behalf of myself AND each listed minor. Every term of this Agreement — including the assumption of risk, release of claims, and indemnification — applies equally to me and each minor, and I waive their claims to the fullest extent a parent or guardian may do so under Texas law. I agree to supervise each minor and ensure their compliance with all passenger conduct requirements.
6. Passenger Conduct & Driver Authority
I agree to:
- Wear a seatbelt at all times while the vehicle is in motion, as required by Texas law
- Follow all reasonable instructions of the driver
- Remain seated while the vehicle is moving
- Refrain from distracting, threatening, or interfering with the driver
- Not bring weapons, illegal drugs, or unauthorized open containers into the vehicle
- Not engage in any conduct that could damage the vehicle or endanger other passengers
The driver has sole authority to refuse or terminate service for any passenger who is intoxicated to a degree that endangers themselves or others, behaves disruptively, refuses to comply with safety instructions, or whose condition the driver reasonably believes poses a safety risk. No refund is owed for service refused or terminated under this section.
7. Personal Belongings
I am solely responsible for all personal belongings. The Company is not liable for items lost, stolen, forgotten, or damaged on any vehicle.
8. Photo & Video Release
I grant the Company the irrevocable, royalty-free right to photograph, film, or record me (and any minor I'm signing for) during the event and to use those images or recordings in any current or future marketing, social media, advertising, or promotional material, in any medium, worldwide, without additional consent or compensation. I waive any right to inspect or approve the final use.
9. Medical Emergency Authorization
In the event of a medical emergency, I authorize the Company to call 911 and to cooperate with emergency responders. I understand drivers are not medical professionals and will not provide medical care. I am responsible for disclosing any medical condition that may affect my transportation to the driver before boarding.
10. Electronic Signature
I acknowledge that my typed name and drawn signature submitted through this form constitute my legally binding electronic signature under the Texas Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Ch. 322), with the same force and effect as a handwritten signature on a paper document. I consent to the electronic delivery and storage of this Agreement.
11. Governing Law, Venue & Arbitration
This Agreement is governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement or the service provided shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration in Hays County, Texas under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. I WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, and waive any right to a jury trial.
12. Severability & Entire Agreement
If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force. This Agreement, together with the Company's full Terms & Conditions of Service available at idriveyallride.com/terms-and-conditions, represents the entire agreement between me and the Company as to my participation in this event's shuttle service.
13. Final Acknowledgment
I have read this Agreement in full. I understand it is a release of legal rights. I have had the opportunity to ask questions and seek independent legal counsel before signing. I sign voluntarily, of my own free will, and without coercion. I am at least 18 years old, or I am the parent or legal guardian signing on behalf of a minor as permitted above.
