Event organisers are required to hold a current policy in respect of Public/Products Liability Insurance, which is sufficient and appropriate to the nature of the event proposed. Organisers are required to provide a letter from their Insurer (or that of any sub-contractor involved) confirming that the Insurer is aware of the proposed event and that this insurance cover is in place, or will be put in place subject to Waterways Ireland approving the event. Organisers are reminded that Waterways Ireland has no insurable interest in any objects associated with the exhibition which are brought onto Waterways Ireland property (e.g. works of art, artefacts, etc) and should make suitable arrangements for insuring such articles against loss or damage.
Event organisers shall indemnify in full and hold harmless Waterways Ireland, its officers, employees, representatives, servants and agents from and against any loss, damages, proceedings, suits, third party claims, judgements, awards, expenses and costs (including legal costs) incurred by or taken against Waterways Ireland as a result of the negligence, fault, error, omission, act or breach of the event organiser or of its employees, staff, contractors, agents or representatives in the use of the property or for any breach of any agreement whatsoever between the event organiser and Waterways Ireland. The event organisers shall promptly notify Waterways Ireland in writing of any litigation, claim, or threat of legal action to which this indemnity applies.
Event organisers should consider themselves potentially liable for any injuries to participants and any damage to fixtures or property. No part of this form exempts organisers from any duty of care or other legal responsibilities associated with the running of the event.
