Safety, Assumption of Risk and Terms of Use
Saddle hunting, elevated hunting, climbing and rappelling involve inherent risks, including serious injury, permanent disability and death. This advisor provides general educational information and product-selection assistance based on user-supplied answers. It is not climbing instruction, safety certification, engineering advice, a compatibility guarantee, or a substitute for manufacturer instructions and qualified hands-on training.
Product models, specifications, sizing, prices and availability can change. The user is responsible for verifying current manufacturer information, equipment compatibility, rated capacities, legal requirements, physical suitability, inspection, maintenance, training and safe use. Practice all climbing, transitions and descent procedures at ground level before hunting, remain connected to the tree as directed by the equipment manufacturer, and use only appropriately rated life-safety equipment.
By using this advisor or relying on its results, the user voluntarily assumes the risks associated with elevated hunting and remains responsible for all purchasing, setup, inspection and use decisions. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, West Cobb Archery, its owner, employees and affiliates disclaim liability for injury, death, property damage, loss or expense arising from reliance on this tool or from the selection, combination, misuse, failure or use of equipment. Nothing on this page is a warranty, certification, guarantee or universal endorsement of any product or method.
Legal review recommended: This language should be reviewed by qualified Georgia counsel before production use. A website acknowledgment may not provide the same protection as a separately executed waiver or release.
