RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
I, * * (together with my parent or guardian, if am under the age of eighteen or under a legal disability) represent, covenant, and agree, on behalf of myself and my heirs, assigns, and any other person claiming by, under, or through me, as follows:
I acknowledge that roller skating and skating the sport of junior roller derby are inherently dangerous activities, but still desire to participate in these activities at my own risk. If a parent or guardian of a minor, the undersigned agrees to allow the minor named to participate in these activities at his or her own risk.
I am further aware that the usual risks, hazards and dangers (hereinafter “risks”) of personal injury, death, disability, property damage and other loss, necessarily increase when wearing roller skates and playing junior roller derby. These risks include but are not limited to: falling, jumping, landing, skaters getting in front of you, skaters leaning on your, tripping over other fallen skaters, performing tricks, “show boating,” colliding with others such as staff, media personnel and spectators. These risks may vary from time to time and day to day based on the skater’s own fatigue (tired), equipment, type of event, and other factors, for valuable consideration, including permission to skate with the junior derby in any way, including but not limited to being permitted to compete, officiate, observe, or participate in any other way.
I hereby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue the North Texas Fallout, the Junior Roller Derby Association, the skate venues, their respective administrators, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, and employees, other participants, any sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises on which the Activity takes place, (each considered one of the "Releasees" herein) from all liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations; and I further agree that if, despite this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim against any of the Releasees, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless each of the Releasees from any loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as the result of such claim.;
I hereby ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY for any risk of bodily injury, death or property damage arising out of or related to the use of the skate venue, its premises, or equipment, whether caused by an act of negligence of Releasees or otherwise.
I hereby agree to INDEMNIFY, SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS the Releasees from any loss, liability, damage, or cost they may incur arising out of or related to the use of the skate venue, its premises, or equipment, whether caused by any act of negligence of the Releasees or otherwise.
I further agree that this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT is intended to be as broad and inclusive as possible.
I understand that participants are required to wear an adequate helmet, wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads, and mouth guard while participating. Participants are required to follow all the rules of conduct and are not to take unreasonable risks while using the skate venue and playing junior roller derby, including causing any other skaters an unreasonable risk of harm.
I have read this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, and have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature, and intend it be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extend allowed by law and agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid, the balance, notwithstanding, shall continue in full force and effect. Prior to signing this WAIVER AND RELEASE, I have had the opportunity to ask any questions about the WAIVER AND RELEASE, North Texas Fallout, and the skate venue.
