The only work authorized by this permit is to remove underbrush and
trees necessary to create a hiking trail, and to blaze trees with
paint or by tacking metal or plastic markers thereon for the purpose
of defining the trail, and such construction (footbridges, steps,
barriers, etc.) as may be required for the safety of hikers, to
prevent erosion and to prevent unauthorized use by wheeled or
motorized vehicles.
-
It is the intention of Victor Hiking Trails, Inc. and the Owner that
the trail NOT be used by wheeled or motorized vehicles. Victor Hiking

owner of land owes no duty to keep the premises safe for the use of
hikers and that the granting of this license does not:
-
extend any assurance that the premises are safe for such purpose;
-
constitute any person using the trail an invitee to whom a duty of
care is owed, or
-
assume responsibility for or incur liability for any injury to
person or property caused by any act of persons to whom permission is
granted to use the 'Victor Hiking Trail' hereunder.

Owner reserves the right at any time to revoke and annul this permit,
whereupon it shall become the duty of Victor Hiking Trails, Inc., at
its own cost and expense, forthwith to remove from 'Victor Hiking
Trail' any and all works and structures erected by it thereon, and
vacate and surrender to the Owner possession thereof. Upon failure of
Victor Hiking Trails, Inc. to remove such works and structures, the
Owner may summarily enter upon and remove from said premises any and
all encroachments and property of Victor Hiking Trails, Inc., the
cost of which shall be paid by Victor Hiking Trails, Inc.
-
