Visitor agrees to release, indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the NRA and the Center and any of their employees, directors, trustees, officers, or agents from any and all fault, liabilities, costs, expenses, claims, demands, lawsuits, or any other actions whatsoever arising out of or related to Visitor's or any Visitor Party's presence at or use of the Center, including Visitor's or any Visitor Party's presence at or participation in any events or activities at the Center.
Visitor irrevocably consents to and authorizes the use and reproduction at any time by NRA and the Center and its assigns, of any and all photographs or electronic images taken of the Visitor or any Visitor Party, with or without names, for any use, including, promotion, advertising, composite or distorted representations, or any other purpose whatsoever, and waives any claim or right arising out of such use, publication, or reproduction, including any right of privacy.
Visitor agrees that any action or legal proceeding arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, the Center, or any Visitor Party's presence at or use of the Center, including any Visitor Party's presence at or participation in any events or activities at the Center, shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to conflict of law principles. It is agreed that any such action or legal proceeding shall be brought exclusively in a court situated in the County of Fairfax, the County of Prince William, or the City of Alexandria, in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Visitor consents to and subjects him or herself to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and agree that jurisdiction and venue for any proceeding arising hereunder shall lie exclusively with such courts.
Visitor further agrees to comply with all Center property use policies, including Smoking Policy (no indoor smoking, $250 fine for each violation) and Pet Policy (pets on leash; owners responsible for damage and cleanup).

Full automatic weapons are not allowed without written permission from the Executive Director. Armor piercing (including ‘Green tip'), incendiary or explosive ammunition and devices, to include explosive targets, are prohibited. The Center reserves the right to deny access to any person.
In the event that any part or provision of this Agreement is declared invalid, unenforceable or void to any extent by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement and the application thereof shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
This instrument binds the Visitor and his or her minor child or children, if applicable, and the executors, administrators, assignees or heirs thereof. In order to assure the safety of all visitors and participants, I agree to read, and adhere to, ALL posted signs, to include, but not limited to: no trespassing, hiking, or driving areas clearly marked.
