​

READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING IT. YOUR SIGNATURE INDICATES THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THE TERMS OUTLINED BELOW. BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE GIVING UP CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RIGHT TO SUE OR RECOVER DAMAGES RESULTING FROM INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE RESULTING DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF HIGH PLAINS SAUNA, LLC, ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, OR EMPLYEES, OR ANY OTHER AFFILIATED PERSON OR ENTITY.

​​

I have voluntarily determined to utilize the steam sauna (“Sauna”) and/or cold-water immersion/exposure (“Cold Plunge”) offered by High Plains Sauna, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“HPS”).

 

General Guidance:
​

Sauna: I am advised that I should stay hydrated during my use of the Sauna (drinking plenty of water before, during,

and after my use of the Sauna). I am advised that I should establish tolerance to the heat of the Sauna by limiting

exposure to a maximum of ten (10) minutes per cycle, and sixty (60) minutes per session. I am advised that I should

immediately exit the Sauna if I feel dizzy, lightheaded, palpitations, nauseous, sleepy or have any other adverse

reaction. I am advised that I should not use any lotions, make-up, or chemicals prior to my sauna session as these

items may block pores and affect perspiration as well as stain the wood in the Sauna or cause irritation to other

users.

​

Cold Plunge: I am advised that controlled entry/exit of the Cold Plunge is highly recommended and required for use

of the Cold Plunge. I am advised that I should establish tolerance to the Cold Plunge prior to its use and limit

exposure in the cold plunge to a maximum of ten (10) minutes per cycle. I am advised that I should immediately

exit the Cold Plunge if I feel dizzy, lightheaded, palpitations, nauseous, sleepy, pain, numbness, or have any other

adverse reaction.

​

Prohibited Items: Smoking, e-cigarettes, controlled or illegal substances, chewing tobacco, glass or ceramic

bottles or containers of any kind, food, medications, colored liquids (that will stain if spilled), and jewelry (may burn

skin) are not permitted in the Sauna or Cold Plunge.

​

Representation Of Fitness: By signing this Agreement, I certify that I am physically and mentally fit to participate

in the Sauna and/or Cold Plunge. I do not have any medical condition, such as anhidrosis, that interferes with my

ability to sweat. I am not pregnant and am not subjecting a fetus to excessive body temperatures that may cause

fetal damage during pregnancy. I am not taking, or under the influence of, any drugs, alcohol, medication, or other

substance affecting my mental or physical state or my ability to properly and safely use the Sauna and/or Cold

Plunge. I have made all prior inquiries to my health care providers that I deem pertinent to my safe and proper use

of the Sauna and/or Cold Plunge.

​

Assumption Of Responsibility: I am responsible for my own safety and personal property. I cannot and will not

rely on anyone other than myself to keep me or my personal property safe before, during, or after participating in

the Sauna and/or the Cold Plunge. My participation in the Sauna and/or the Cold Plunge is voluntary, and I can

refuse to participate or quit participating in the Sauna and/or the Cold Plunge at any time for any reason.

risks and hereby voluntarily assume all risks associated with the use of the Sauna and/or the Cold Plunge, whether
