  • Exposure to dirt, algae, mold, bacteria, viral agents, fungal agents, or other environmental pathogens; theft, loss, or damage to personal property; flying, floating, or falling objects; misuse or malfunction of spa equipment, watercraft, furniture, or apparatus; horseplay, unruly behavior, or negligence of other spa users; and the complete absence of lifeguards or professional medical/first-aid personnel on the premises.
  • NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE SPA (INCLUDING THE LANDLORD, SUMMERHILL RESORTS LTD.), including the failure of the SPA to take reasonable steps to safeguard or protect me or my property from the risks, dangers, and hazards of using the Spa Facility, including those referred to above. I freely accept and fully assume all such risks, dangers, and hazards, and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage, or loss resulting therefrom or relating in any way to my use of the Spa Facility.
  • ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

  • 1. No Supervision / No Lifeguards: I have been explicitly warned and understand that no lifeguards or first-aid personnel are on duty or present during my use of the Spa Facility, including areas adjacent to open water. I acknowledge and accept that there is an increased risk of injury or death as a result, and I voluntarily elect to use the facilities despite this risk.
  • 2. Nature of Staff Duties: I understand that SPA employees have demanding duties to perform and, while they strive to maintain a safe environment, they may be unaware of my specific health conditions, physical limitations, or medical history, and they may provide incomplete warnings or instructions.
  • 3. Alcohol Consumption: I acknowledge that alcoholic beverages are available for purchase and consumption at the Spa Facility (including on-site breweries and taprooms). I understand that the consumption of alcohol, particularly in conjunction with high-temperature environments (hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms) or water activities (swimming, boating), severely exaggerates the effects of alcohol, induces dehydration, impairs judgment, and drastically increases the risk of injury, cardiovascular distress, or death. I covenant to consume alcohol responsibly, abide by all provincial legal drinking ages, and agree not to become intoxicated while at the Spa Facility.
  • RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS, AND INDEMNITY

  • In consideration of the SPA permitting my use of the Spa Facility, and for other good and valuable consideration (the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), I, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, my assigns, my personal representatives, and my estate, agree as follows:
  • 1. TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS that I have or may have in the future against the SPA, and to release the SPA from any and all liability for any loss, damage, expense, or injury (including death) that I or my family members/estate may suffer as a result of my use of the Spa Facility, due to any cause whatsoever. This includes, but is not limited to, negligence, breach of contract, breach of statute, or breach of any statutory or regulatory duty of care or warranty, including any duty of care owed under the Occupiers’ Liability Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.2 by the SPA, as well as any failure by the SPA to safeguard or protect me from the risks, dangers, and hazards mentioned herein.
  • 2. TO HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY THE SPA from any and all claims, actions, demands, and liability, including all related legal fees, disbursements, and expenses, for any property damage, financial loss, personal injury, or death to any third party arising from or connected in any way with my use of the Spa Facility.
  • 3. This Waiver and any rights, duties, and obligations between the parties shall be governed strictly in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.
  • 4. Any litigation, suit, action, or legal claim brought against the SPA arising from or connected to the Spa Facility must be brought solely within the Province of Ontario and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.
  • 5. If any provision, paragraph, or portion of this Waiver is found to be void, illegal, or unenforceable, that portion shall be severed, and the remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect.
