                                        (a) Buyer's Acknowledgment of Danger.  Buyer expressly acknowledges that use of the Model Engine is dangerous if improperly handled, and could inflict injury if attempts are made to handle it properly, if the user does not fully acquaint himself/herself with the Model Engine's operation procedures.  The Model Engine may cause burns to the user, or the user's assistant, particularly in the start-up procedure, and Buyer agrees to use extreme caution.  The Model Engine exhaust is extremely hot, and will burn someone or something placed directly behind the exhaust tube.  Highly flammable liquid is used to operate the Model Engine, and it or its fumes will ignite easily and flare up rapidly.  The Model Engine itself remains extremely hot, after it is shut off, and requires a cooling down period.  Improper use of the Model Engine, or failure to follow Academy of Model Aeronautics ("AMA") guidelines and rules will result in injury to the user, the user's assistant, or bystanders.  Operation of the Model Engine in any location other than an approved location, and under safe circumstances could lead to injury to bystanders.  A risk exists from explosion, in the event of tampering, modifications leading to over-speed or extreme metal fatigue.

                                        (b) Buyer's Obligation to Become Fully Acquainted With Operation Procedure.  Buyer acknowledges receipt of operating instructions for the Model Engine which depicts its handling and operation.  Buyer agrees to thoroughly acquaint himself/herself with these materials, and to require his/her assistant to become equally familiar with them.  Buyer expressly agrees not to allow any person to assist in the start-up procedure of the Model Engine, who has not become thoroughly familiar with these materials.

                                        (c) Agreement to Use Qualified Assistant in Start-Up Procedure.  Buyer acknowledges that the start-up procedure for the Model Engine cannot be safely done, without an assistant.  Buyer expressly agrees to use an assistant, who is thoroughly familiar with the Model Engine and its operation as set forth above, on each occasion when the Model Engine is started up.

                                        (d) Warning to Bystanders.  Buyer acknowledges that injury or burns to bystanders could occur, during the start-up procedure or when operating the Model Engine.  Buyer expressly agrees to take all steps necessary to assure that no bystander will be in a position to receive injuries during the start-up procedure, or while the Model Engine is running.

                    3. Full Assumption of Liability; Waiver and Release of JetCat USA.  Buyer assumes all risk of injury, harm and damage, of every nature whatsoever, to himself/herself and his/her property.  Buyer fully and completely waives and releases any and all claims which he/she might have at any time arising out of the purchase, handling, or operation of the Model Engine.  This assumption, waiver and release is complete, full, and comprehensive.

                                        (a) Release Even If JetCat USA Is Negligent.  The waiver and release contained herein releases JetCat USA from all conduct, no matter how it could be characterized or alleged.  JetCat USA shall not be liable for its own negligence, whether active, passive, primary, or secondary.  JetCat USA shall not be liable for its sole negligence.  JetCat USA shall not be liable for its willful misconduct.  JetCat USA shall not be liable based on any theory in strict liability in tort.  JetCat USA shall not be liable for any alleged breach of warranty, whether express or implied, of any nature whatsoever, whether a warranty of fitness for a particular use, merchantability, or otherwise.  There is no warranty of merchantability; there is no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose; and there are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face hereof or JetCat USA’s One Year Limited Warranty.

                                        (b) Waiver Effective for All Time.  The waiver and release contained herein is effective, without regard to the passage of time.  It is effective indefinitely.  It will not be changed by any modification to the Model Engine, to any later sale, or other changes in circumstances.

                                        (c) Release Extends to JetCat USA and All Its Associates.  The waiver and release contained herein protects JetCat USA, and all of its employees, officers, principals, owners, designers, and agents ("Associates").

                                        (d) Waiver of Civil Code Section 1542.  Buyer acknowledges the existence of, and fully and completely waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:

                                                            "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."

                    4. No Modifications to Model Engine.  Buyer agrees to make no modifications of any kind to the Model Engine.  This Agreement pertains to the entire life of the Model Engine.

                    5. Sale By Buyer to Other Party.  Buyer agrees to fully inform any person to whom he/she sells or transfers the Model Engine, concerning the handling, use, and operation of the Model Engine, and agrees to give all operating instructions to such person, at or before the time of sale or transfer.  The indemnity and hold harmless agreement contained in Paragraph 3 continues in effect, following such sale or transfer.

                    6. Severability.  In the event any clause, provision, or term of this Agreement is held to be ineffective, void or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, that clause, provision, or term shall be severed from this Agreement, and the Agreement shall otherwise remain binding and effective.  If any portion of Paragraph 3 is found to be unenforceable, then the parties agree that the fullest and most complete waiver and release which is permitted by law, shall be effective.

                    7. California Law Applicable.  The law of the State of California shall apply to any and all controversies which may arise out of or relate to this Agreement, the sale of the Model Engine, or its ownership, use, or operation.
