This is a legally-binding Release, Waiver, Discharge and Covenant Not to Sue made by me/us to Steel City Squash, Inc. (“the organization”) and to others.
It is my/our minor child’s desire to participate in Steel City Squash's program. I/We fully recognize that there are dangers and risks to which my/our minor child, named above, may be exposed by voluntarily participating. Examples of these dangers and risks are injuries or conditions including, without limitation, damage to bone, muscle, nerve and/or soft tissue, lacerations, abrasions, contusions, fractures, concussion, aggravation of pre-existing conditions, heart complications, heart attack, as well as other injuries or conditions, up to and including serious physical injury or impairment or loss of life. I/We appreciate the character of the risk taken and, on behalf of my/our child, voluntarily assume all risk of harm. I/We understand that the organization does not require my/our child to participate, but I/we want him/her to do so, despite the possible dangers and risks and despite this Release.
I/We therefore agree to assume and take on myself/ourselves all of the risks and responsibilities in any way associated with his/her participation in the organization. In consideration of and return for the opportunity to participate and for the services, facilities, equipment or other things provided to me/us or my/our child by Steel City Squash, I/WE HEREBY RELEASE STEEL CITY SQUASH AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY THE “RELEASEES”) FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS AND ACTIONS THAT MAY ARISE FROM INJURY OR HARM TO MY/OUR CHILD, UP TO AND INCLUDING DEATH, AND FROM DAMAGE TO MY/OUR/HIS/HER PROPERTY, IN CONNECTION WITH PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITY. I/WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS RELEASE COVERS LIABILITY, CLAIMS AND ACTIONS CAUSED ENTIRELY OR IN PART BY ANY ACTS OR FAILURES TO ACT OF THE RELEASEES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE, MISTAKE OR FAILURE TO SUPERVISE.
I/We recognize that this Release means I/we are giving up, among other things, rights to sue the Releasees for injuries, damages or losses I/we and my/our child may incur. I/We also understand that this Release binds my/our heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, as well as myself/ourselves.
Further, I/we agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from and against any suit, action, cause of action, demand, judgment, claim, damage, liability, injury, expense or loss, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees, initiated by my/our child, or any other person, arising in any way out of my/our child’s participation.
I/We assure the Releasees that, to the best of my/our knowledge, information and belief, my/our child is physically able to participate without any undue or unusual risk to him/her or to others. I/We acknowledge that the Releasees have recommended that my/our child consult with, have a physical examination conducted by, and follow the related instructions of a physician before he/she engages in the program.
Finally, I/we understand and agree that the Releasees may need to respond to accidents or emergency situations that may occur. Therefore, I/we hereby give my/our consent to the administration of any and all medical treatment of my/our child the Releasees deem necessary resulting from his/her participation, with the understanding that the costs of any such treatment will be my/our responsibility. I/We have full authority to make and to delegate decisions regarding my/our child’s health.
I/We are at least eighteen years of age and have read this entire Release. I/We fully understand it and I/we agree to be legally bound by it.
