This agreement is binding upon my executors, heirs, and assigns.

I expressly waive any rights I may have under California Civil Code 1542, which states 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 might have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. I agree that I will indemnify and hold harmless NVHA, its officers, directors, members, and agents against all claims, demands, and causes of action, including court costs and actual attorney fees, arising from any proceeding or lawsuits brought by or prosecuted for my benefit, in which this release is upheld.

NVHA, it agents or employees, shall not be liable for any damage that may accrue from any cause or as a result of fire, theft, running away, state of health, injury to person, horse, or property.
