Fill out the form below or download the printable form and bring it to the library to register.

I am eighteen years of age or older and have voluntarily applied to request access to the Burney Library located at 37116 Main Street, Burney, CA. This is a Release of Liability and Assumption of all Risk Agreement (“Release”). Read it carefully and agree below.

Completion of this Release is a prerequisite to participation in Burney Access offered by the City of Redding (“City”). This release essentially says that I am voluntarily participating in Burney Access as specified above. This voluntary participation is a privilege and not a right. I, the undersigned, understand and acknowledge that I have voluntarily chosen to participate in Burney Access at my own risk. In consideration for City allowing me to participate in Burney Access, I voluntarily agree to release, waive, discharge, and hold harmless the City and its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims of liability arising out of their negligence, or any other act or omission which causes the individual’s illness, injury, death, or damages of any nature in any way connected with my participation in Burney Access.

I further represent and warrant that I am advised of the existence of California Civil Code section 1542, which provides as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

Notwithstanding this provision, this will constitute a full release in accordance with its terms. I knowingly and voluntarily waive the provisions of Section 1542, as well as any other statute, law or rule of similar effect, and acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this Release.
