§ 178-12. Liability of town; indemnification of Board of Selectmen.

The Town of Orleans assumes no liability either for injuries to persons who are on town premises or damage to any equipment. The holder of a permit to use the town facilities agrees to accept all equipment and property as is and waives any and all claims against the Orleans Board of Selectmen, its members, employees and agents for any injury, accident, illness, expense or claim of damage of any kind whether to persons or to property which may occur as a result of the use of town facilities by said holder or by others under its express, implied or apparent authority. The holder of a permit further agrees to assume all liability and to indemnify and hold harmless the Board of Selectmen, its members, employees and agents for any and all claims, liabilities or expenses of any kind whether for injuries to persons or damage to the buildings, equipment or other property arising out of the use of town facilities by the said holder or by others under its express, implied or apparent authority. The above waiver, assumption of liability and indemnification shall be effective and binding, notwithstanding that the condition of the facilities may have caused or contributed to the injury, damage, expense or claim.
