This Release Form is available for REVIEW ONLY so that you can read it in the comfort of your own home and/or your own lawyer’s office. Do NOT print it out, do NOT sign it and definitely do NOT send it in to us. You’ll only have to sign another one at the start of Registration in Niagara Falls! While we love to chat, none of the terms in this are up for negotiation. We’re just giving you a sneak peak at what you’ll be required to sign in order to participate.
