I understand that by continuing with my purchase, I will need to agree to an Assumption of Risk and Waiver(s) of Liability (text included below), using the link provided to me in my confirmation email. I agree to share this link with all guests I may be purchasing tickets for. Failure to complete the Assumption of Risk and Waiver(s) of Liability prior to arrival by any person will result in their inability to enter the event.
This waiver is intended to make sure all guests attending understand all health or safety risks associated with this event.
I understand that Fear Columbus Haunted House is a very dark and intense horror-themed attraction filled with live actors, intense audio, strobe lighting effects, compressed air, mist, fog, cryogenic, snow, haze effects, and more. This attraction is not recommended for anyone 12 and younger. Any groups with guests 12 and under must have at least one legal guardian in their group at all times.
Activities may include but are not limited to standing for extended periods of time, walking, pushing through tight passages, moving through dark and unlit spaces, and accidental collisions (hereafter “haunted house activities”), and involve inherent and other risks of injury and death.
I voluntarily agree to expressly assume all risks of injury or death that may at any time result from any and all such haunted house activities organized or promoted by Francis Frights LLC dba Fear Columbus Haunted House. I AGREE TO RELEASE Francis Frights LLC, and its owners, landlords, affiliates, insurers, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, successors-in-interest, and assigns (collectively “Providers”) from all liability for injury, death, and property loss and damage that results from the participant’s participation in haunted house activities organized by Francis Frights LLC, including all liability that results from the negligence or gross negligence of such Providers, or any other person or cause.
I understand that this is a live performance and the experience may be completely different than previous visits or events hosted at Fear Columbus Haunted House.
I understand that due to the unique nature of this attraction it is impossible for Francis Frights to ensure our safety from colliding with other guests, staff members, props, walls or other set pieces while traveling through the event. I understand that at any point if my behavior inside the attraction is seen as a risk to the safety of others or myself, all members of my party will be removed immediately without a refund.
No actors will ever intentionally touch guests. I understand that actors or staff members may indirectly or unintentionally touch or brush up against me due to the attraction being very dark and disorienting.
I understand that participation carries with it certain inherent risks and dangers that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid accidents, injury or death. I hereby assert that my participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks including serious injury or death.
I further agree to defend and indemnify Providers for all loss and damage (including, without limitation the reimbursement of the fees and expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses) arising from claims or lawsuits for personal injury, death, property loss and damage or other losses or damages arising from or related to my participation in the haunted house activities organized by Francis Frights LLC. I understand losses include, without limitation reimbursement of Providers for the fees and expenses of Providers serving as witnesses, preparing for trial, or participating in any proceeding.
This agreement is binding upon the participant’s heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns. I acknowledge that the laws of the State of Ohio govern this agreement. I further agree that any action involving parties or issues relating to or arising out of this agreement must be instituted and prosecuted in the State of Ohio. If any provision of this agreement is held in whole or in part to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of that provision and of the entire agreement will be severable and remain in effect.
I have read this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it and have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.
I understand that this attraction is a physically demanding experience not intended for anyone with the following conditions. If you experience any of the following conditions, you should not participate.
I understand that Fear Columbus is fully ADA accessible with a standard-sized wheelchair. Electric wheelchairs are permitted as long as they can safely navigate standard ADA sized hallways and doorways of 36″.
The entire facility floor plan is approved and inspected by the State of Ohio building department and inspected regularly by Columbus Fire Department to ensure it is safe and fully accessible for guests using wheelchairs.
Guests that would like special assistance from our team during their visit are welcome to email us at Info@FearColumbus.com in advance, and we will ensure we have someone available for you.
NO BAGS OF ANY KIND ARE PERMITTED INSIDE THE FRONT GATE
Excluding Medical Bag which will still be subject to search.
I understand that all guests will be subject to security screening prior to entering the event. This screening will be handled by a professional 3rd Party security company and the Columbus Police Department and will include but is not limited to a walkthrough metal detector. Please leave all prohibited items at home. Security is not permitted to hold any prohibited items they find at the security checkpoint. These items will need to be taken back to your vehicle or you will need to dispose of them. Our staff will not “take”, “hold”, or “dispose” of any prohibited items. You understand that no one will force you to dispose of any prohibited items and this process is entirely voluntary and you will always be welcome to return them to your vehicle. Please pay extra attention if you are being dropped off. No exceptions will be made and you will need to find accommodations. Cell Phones are permitted inside the facility but they must be tightly secured in a pocket once you enter the attraction.
