PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK.

As part of my membership, or as a parent on behalf of a minor child, I recognize that programs involving physical activity have inherent risks of injury and/or damage, and I assume any and all such risks, as well as the responsibility to be fully aware of the inherent risks associated with my registration, before beginning participation. Neither the Thomas Creek Figure Skating Club, nor its officers, directors, agents, nor representatives of the Club will be liable for injury or damage that occurs as a result of such risks. Accordingly, I waive and release the above-named parties from any such liability.

Additionally, when I register for any programs of the Club, including but not limited to Club ice sessions, shows and exhibitions, the Mirror Images Synchronized Skating Program, and off-ice programming, I agree that I am responsible for any damage I may cause to any facility utilized by the Club for its program offerings.

I agree that any photographs or videos taken during TCFSC/MI-sponsored activities may be used at the discretion of the club for future marketing purposes. 

Waiver and Release of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement (“Agreement”)

In consideration of participating in Thomas Creek Figure Skating Club activities, I represent that I understand the nature of figure skating activities (“activity”) and that I am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such “activity”. I acknowledge that if I believe event conditions are unsafe, I will immediately discontinue participation in the “activity”.

I fully understand that this “activity” involves risks of serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis and death, which may be caused by my own actions, or inactions, those of others participating in the “activity”, the conditions in which the “activity” takes place, or the negligence of the “releasees” named below; and that there may be other risks either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I fully accept and assume all such risks and all responsibility for losses, costs, and damages I incur as a result of myparticipation in the “activity”. 

I hereby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue the Thomas Creek Figure Skating Club, United States Figure Skating, it’s directors, officers, administrators, sponsors, volunteers, agents, employees, staff, instructors, trainers, other participants 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, waiver of liability, and assumption of risk, 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.

The Thomas Creek Figure Skating Club has the right, but not the obligation, to provide rules, regulations, and/or ice monitors for Club Ice. We hereby acknowledge that the Thomas Creek Figure Skating Club shall not be responsible for the supervision of the members at Club Ice.
