In consideration of payment by the undersigned (“Permit Holder”) of the amount of the prevailing rate in USD and intending to be legally bound, Famous Reading Outdoors, LLC (“FRO”) hereby grants the Permit Holder this Access Permit, and the Permit Holder accepts this Access Permit, on the following conditions:

  1. This Access Permit is valid for one year from the date of purchase of an Access Permit; provided however, this Access Permit may be renewed annually for additional one year periods. This Access Permit shall terminate at sunset on the one year anniversary of the date of purchase of an Access Permit or from the date of the most current renewal, which date is later, unless FRO terminates this Access Permit earlier.
  2. Access Permits are non-transferable and non-assignable. If FRO determines that this Access Permit has been used by any person other than the Permit Holder, this Access Permit shall be immediately terminated and the Permit Holder will forfeit this Access Permit for the remainder of the permit year. Further, the Permit Holder agrees that he or she will be banned from purchasing another Access Permit in the future. The Permit Holder understands and agrees that any person found to be accessing FRO Properties (as defined below) without a valid Access Permit will be prosecuted for trespassing and any other applicable offense under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
  3. This Access Permit provides Permit Holder with permission to be on the FRO Properties as depicted on FRO’s website: http://www.readingoutdoors.com/ (collectively “FRO Properties”; individually, “FRO Property”) during the posted hours, which change seasonally and will be posted by FRO. FRO continually updates the FRO Properties on its website and therefore, the Permit Holder has a duty and obligation to check and familiarize himself or herself with the current FRO Properties on the FRO website prior to each visit. Provided however, the maps on the FRO website are only meant as a guide and the Permit Holder must abide by all signage, fencing and other marking devices, which control over posted maps. Be advised that all fencing, poles, signage, and other marking devices are in place to inform you of areas not to travel or prohibited from entering and/or indicate potential hazards. FRO assumes no risk of the accuracy of these maps and/or the safe conditions of any trail, facility, parking area, and/or any other area depicted on the map and/or located on FRO Properties. FRO shall not be held responsible for any damages and/or claims whatsoever arising from the use of these maps. Outdoor recreation has a higher level of risk than most activities, and can be potentially hazardous, dangerous, and/or lethal. Risk is always a factor with participating in activities permitted by the Access Permit and there are many risks, both natural and/or man-made, that could lead to injury or death while on FRO Properties. Trail conditions can change while an individual is on FRO Properties, and it is the sole responsibility of the individual to be aware of any changes in conditions and/or to be aware of all conditions. IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF PERMIT HOLDER TO FAMILIARIZE HIMSELF OR HERSELF WITH THE FRO PROPERTIES. BY ENTERING FRO PROPERTIES, ALL INDIVIDUALS AGREE TO ASSUME ALL RISKS, HARM AND RESPONSIBILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE USE OF FRO PROPERTIES. Further, all individuals who enter FRO Properties agree to purchase an Access Permit together with all other required documents and to comply with all rules and regulations of FRO together with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations. The Permit Holder is not permitted on those properties where there is active mining, haul roads, restricted areas or any other working facilities or any posted properties by FRO,RAC, and/or any other landowner or entity and/or marked on the maps of FRO including but not limited to any railroads. The Permit Holder must park in the designated parking areas as set forth by FRO and check in with a FRO representative prior to entering the FRO Property. The Permit Holder must have this Access Permit displayed on their dashboard of their vehicle at all times; otherwise, any vehicle without a valid Access Permit will be towed at the Permit Holder’s sole cost and expense. The Permit Holder must have a separate permit from FRO on them at all times, which must be visible on the Permit Holder and/or any off-road vehicle they are operating on FRO Properties. The Permit Holder agrees that he or she may not enter FRO Properties prior to sunrise and/or remain on FRO Properties after sunset. This Access Permit does not grant Permit Holder access and/or any rights to enter onto any other property owned and/or leased by FRO including but not limited to any property owned by FRO’s landlord, Reading Anthracite Company (“RAC”).
  4. Permission is granted for recreational activities only; provided however, camping, overnight camping, fires, bon fires, swimming, fishing, trapping, or any organized events such as races or parties are strictly prohibited. The Permit Holder agrees that he or she is not permitted to have any type of fire on FRO Properties. Further, the Permit Holder agrees that the use of alcohol, drugs and controlled substances on FRO Properties is strictly prohibited. The Permit Holder agrees that he or she shall not be under the influence of any alcohol, drugs and controlled substances while on FRO Properties and shall not bring any alcohol, drugs and controlled substances onto the FRO Properties.
  5. If the Permit Holder desires to hunt on FRO Properties, the Permit Holder must have a valid hunting license on him and/or her at all times while on FRO Properties and must provide FRO with a copy of a valid hunting license within five days of any request by FRO. Permit Holder must have a valid hunting license prior to entering FRO Properties to hunt in accordance with said hunting license. Hunting is only permitted from sunrise to sunset during the respective hunting season. If the hunting license is suspended or revoked, the Permit Holder must notify FRO immediately.
  6. If the Permit Holder desires to take any type of licensed vehicle on FRO Properties, the Permit Holder must provide FRO with a copy of proof of insurance and registration, if applicable, for that vehicle. The Permit Holder agrees to maintain said insurance and registration throughout the term of this Access Permit and to provide FRO with updated proof of insurance and registration during the term of this Access Permit.
  7. The Permit Holder is encouraged to report to FRO any person that he or she observes trespassing on FRO Properties to FRO; provided however, Permit Holder agrees not to engage and/or interact with any person that he or she suspects of trespassing. If any such report leads to the prosecution of a trespasser, then the Permit Holder shall receive a free access permit for the following year unless the Permit Holder is in violation of this Access Permit.
  8. The Permit Holder affirms that he or she is at least 12 years of age. If any Permit Holder is under the age of 18 years of age, the parent(s) or legal guardian of the Permit Holder shall join and co-sign this Access Permit.
  9. Participant Agreement, Release and Assumption of Risk. The undersigned Permit Holder agrees to execute that certain Participant Agreement, Release and Assumption of Risk and to abide all of the terms of said Participant Agreement, Release and Assumption of Risk, which the terms of said Participant Agreement, Release and Assumption of Risk are incorporated herein by reference.
