SOFTBALL LEAGUE WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in the Five Borough Social League (aka 5B) during the Spring/Summer/Fall 2026 Season, including related events and activities, I understand, acknowledge and agree to the following:
1. I understand the physical requirements of the program, event or activity in which I will be participating, and certify that I am physically fit or I believe for some ridiculous reason that I am physically fit and able to participate in the program, event or activity, and have not been advised otherwise by a qualified medical professional.
2. I agree to comply with any and all rules, regulations, terms and conditions for participation in the program, event or activity, including but not limited to the rules of any sport that I may participate in. I agree to inspect the equipment, facilities and premises to be used prior to participation. If I believe that anything is unsafe, I will inform 5B officials, or league administrators of the issue and refuse to participate if not corrected.
3. I acknowledge and fully understand that as a participant, I will be engaging in activities that involve risk of serious injury, including permanent disability and death, property loss and severe social and economic losses. These risks include, but are not limited to, those caused by: (a) the actions, inactions or negligence of 5B, other participants, volunteers, spectators, coaches, event officials, referees and organizers; (b) conditions of the premises, facilities or equipment used; (c) rules of play; (d) weather conditions; (e) the skill, ability and condition of other participants, and their failure to abide by the rules, regulations, terms and conditions for participation in the program, event or activity; and, (f) vehicular traffic. I further acknowledge and fully understand that there may also be other risks that are not known or foreseeable at this time. 5B cannot control these risks, nor has 5B judged my skill level or ability prior to allowing me to participate and consequently is not in a position to guarantee my personal health or safety during my participation in the programs, events or activities. I KNOWINGLY, INTELLIGENTLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ANTICIPATED AND UNANTICIPATED, FORESEEABLE AND UNFORESEEABLE, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF 5B OR OTHERS, AND I ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR MY PARTICIPATION.
4. I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, beneficiaries, executors, administrators, personal representatives and assigns, HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND AGREE NOT TO SUE 5B, any of its affiliates or any of its managers, members, directors, officers, employees, volunteers, representatives, agents, coaches and referees, and other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers and if applicable, owners and lessors of equipment, facilities and premises used to conduct the programs, events or activities (collectively the "Releasees"), from any and all claims for damages, injuries, losses, liabilities and expenses, including claims based on any Releasee’s negligence, which I may have or which may subsequently accrue to me, relating to, resulting from or arising out of my use and/or participation in any programs, events or activities of 5B, including any injury or damage to my person or property, or to that of any other person or property. Yes, THIS is how your acting career finally takes off.
4.5 I probably don't have heirs, beneficiaries, executors, administrators, personal representatives and assigns, but willing to pretend I do for the sake of this waiver.
5. I hereby grant to 5B, its respective administrators, founders, directors, agents, employees of organization, other participants and those acting with its authority, the right to photograph, videotape, or otherwise capture or collect my likeness, voice and sounds (the "Content") during my participation in 5B, event or activity. I further acknowledge the Content to be works made for hire, and otherwise irrevocably assign and grant to 5B all rights in this Content and the right to use or sublicense the Content and my name, likeness, and biography, in 5B’s discretion, in all media and in all forms and for all purposes, including without limitation, advertising and other promotions for 5B, without any further consideration to me or any limitation whatsoever. I understand that the league may use these materials in circulation, for as long as they see fit, even after I am no longer in the league.
6. I agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Releasees harmless from and against any and all claims for damages, injuries, losses, liabilities and expenses incurred by 5B relating to, resulting from or arising out of my participation in any 5B program, event or activity.
I consent to have medical treatment that may be deemed advisable in the event of injury, accident and/or illness during any program, event or activity. I release 5B and all persons participating in any such medical treatment from all responsibility for any such actions.
I intend that this Waiver and Release of Liability shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law.
