Beran Island Guest Registration & Waiver

We understand you may not have a final tally but please let us know your plans for luggage that will be brought by the person filling out this waiver, including surf board bags, kite board bags, SUP bags, and checked baggage.

Please expect board bag fees from United (Open info in new window)/ Air Nauru (Open info in new window) as well as Air Marshalls Islands ($100 each way for each surfboard) if applicable. United does have a new waiver for board bags coming to and going to California, but the attendants in Honolulu do not always know about this. We suggest printing out their online policy in case you run into issues in Honolulu.

If you will have additional baggage please send us an email with details as there is a possibility the airline will be unable to uplift bags without prior cargo reservations

I acknowledge and understand that the released Activities, in particular engaging in water sports and other adventure sports and activities on or near the remote area of this trip, are inherently dangerous activities in which there is a risk of serious, permanent bodily injury or death and that no amount of care, caution, instruction, experience, or expertise can eliminate the dangers associated with the Released Activities. I further understand and acknowledge that the uniqueness of this trip and its remote location further increases the risks inherent in the Released Activities. I acknowledge that I have been advised to wear a helmet and to take all available precautions while engaging in the Released Activities. I understand and acknowledge that even if I am a strong swimmer, an experienced participant in the Released Activities, and do everything reasonably prudent to avoid injury, that serious permanent injury or death may still result from my participation in the Released Activities. I expressly, voluntarily, and irrevocably assume all risk of death, personal injury, and/or damage to my person or property sustained while participating in the Released Activities, whether or not such death, personal injury and/or damage is caused by the active, passive, or gross negligence of any person or entity, including the released Parties, or from any other cause, to the fullest extent allowed by law.

6. COVENANT NOT TO SUE I agree, on behalf of myself, my estate, executors, heirs, legal representatives, administrators, successors and assigns, never to commence, or assist in the initiation or prosecution of, any lawsuit, claim, demand, action, proceeding, or cause of action, against the Released Parties related to the Released Activities or any other activities contemplated by this Agreement.

DEFENSE AND IDEMNITY I hereby agree, on behalf of myself, my estate, executors, heirs, legal representatives, administrators, successors and assigns, to defend, indemnify, save, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all losses, claims, actions, demands, proceedings, or causes of action of any kind and character which may arise directly or indirectly out of the Released Activities.

8. LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES All equipment provided by Released Parties has been previously used by other individuals engaging in the Released Activities. Released Parties do not expressly or impliedly warrant that any equipment sold, rented, or provided by the Released Parties is fit for a particular purpose or is of merchantable quality. I understand and agree that the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and all other warranties, express or implied, are excluded from any sale, rental, lease, loan or provision of equipment, whether for a fee or not, and that all such equipment is purchased, rented, or provided "As Is" and "Where is". I understand, acknowledge and agree to perform a thorough personal inspection of any and all such equipment prior to using the same, and I shall use my best judgment as to whether to, in fact, use said equipment.

9. INSURANCE I understand and accept that the released Parties do not provide medical, disability, completed operations, product liability, life, personal, accident, general liability or any other insurance whatsoever that covers any accident, injury, casualty, loss and/or death which may arise from the Released Activities. As against the Released Parties, I hereby waive any and all claims, rights, or benefits I may have from any adjacent, accessory, component, or individual insurance policy pertaining to the Released Activities. I certify that I have adequate medical, dental, supplemental, long-term disability, special and/or life insurance(s) to cover any injury or damage I may suffer and/or cause while participating in the Released Activities and/or using the equipment or, if I do not have such insurance, I agree to bear the cost of such injury or damage myself. I affirm that considering my lifestyle and the manner in which I am supporting myself, I have made adequate future provisions for myself, my spouse, and/or my children, if any, and any other heirs, dependents, successors, and family so that in the event of my injury, incapacity, disability, or death, they will suffer no financial burden or impairment.

10. UNAVAILABILITY OF MEDICAL TREATMENT I understand that this trip will be through a remote, undeveloped area. Further, I understand that the Released Parties do NOT provide medical services and that medical facilities do not exist nearby. If I am injured and require medical attention, I understand that I will have to be transported via air or vessel to receive medical services, and that the Released Parties do not provide such transportation. While staff and principles will endeavour to reasonably assist as they are able in any emergency situation, they may not be properly equipped to supply the type of transportation necessary and/or weather conditions may prevent or delay transport. I further understand that there are private companies available that do provide such transportation and that I will need to make prior arrangements, independent of the Released Parties, to obtain transportation. I understand and acknowledge that even with insurance, preparation and planning it may take 12 - 24 hours for me to reach a hospital and/or receive medical treatment, but possibly even longer depending on weather and/or ocean conditions.

I acknowledge that my failure to make my own direct and personal arrangements to secure, in advance of my arrival in The Republic Of The Marshall Islands, or other area visited during this trip any such private insurance that provides medical emergency air transportation may significantly increase or exacerbate any injuries that I may suffer while engaging in Released Activities. It is my responsibility to conduct my own personal due diligence on any private insurance and/or transportation companies, and on the decision whether or not to purchase insurance for emergency transportation and medical care with such companies and to select, in advance, a company that suits my individual needs and requirements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, I hereby expressly consent to receive first aid, medical treatment and/or any other services rendered to me in the event an injury, accident, or illness (hereinafter "Emergency Medical Services") I incur during my direct or indirect involvement with the Released Activities and/or as a guest of Indies Trader Beran Resorts Inc, Indies Trader Marine Adventures and I hereby agree, on behalf of myself, my estate, executors, heirs, legal representative, administrators, successors and assigns, to hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all losses, claims, actions, demands, proceedings, or causes of action of any kind and character which may arise directly or indirectly out of Emergency Medical Services provided or sought.

I hereby attest and verify that I am physically fit and that my physical condition has been verified by a licensed medical doctor. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have, whether I am aware of said condition or not.

The use of alcohol or any over the counter and/or prescription drugs which may have an intoxicating affect, or which may diminish one’s capacities is STRICTLY PROHIBITED prior to and while participating in any Released Activities.
