RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
In consideration of the Participant (the “Camper”) participating in JM Soccer Academy programs, camps, or events (collectively referred to as the “Program”) and its related activities, and as a condition thereof, I am signing this Release of Liability and Indemnity (this “Release”) on behalf of myself and the Camper. This Release is made in favor of JM Soccer Academy, the entity operating the Program, and the owner of the facility at which the Program is conducted, and their respective directors, officers, employees, officials, affiliates, sponsors, hosts, agents, assigns, subsidiaries, owners, partners, and joint venturers (collectively, the “Released Parties”).
On behalf of myself and the Camper, I acknowledge and agree that:
- Assumption of Risk:
The risk of injury and/or loss from participating in Program activities is always present due to the nature of the Program, regardless of the care used, the skill or experience possessed, or the precautions taken by me, the Camper, or anyone else, including any of the Released Parties. I am aware that participation in the Program can cause physical and/or psychological injury, including, but not limited to, serious permanent bodily injury, paralysis, illness, and/or death to the Camper or others, and/or damage to my, the Camper’s, or others’ belongings. The Camper and I voluntarily elect, with knowledge of the risks involved, for the Camper to participate in the Program. - Health Risks:
Participating in the Program may expose the Camper to contagious diseases, such as, for example, coronavirus (COVID-19), influenza, and the common cold. These diseases spread easily through person-to-person contact and may be spread by persons who are not exhibiting any symptoms. These diseases can lead to severe illness, personal injury, permanent disability, and death. Participating in the Program increases the risk of becoming infected and/or ill. I acknowledge and agree that such risks are part of the risks and hazards that the Camper and I assume and release as set forth in this Release. - Acceptance of All Risks:
I knowingly and freely accept and assume all risks, damages, and hazards associated, directly or indirectly, with the Camper’s participation in the Program, whether known or unknown, whether caused by the action, inaction, or active or passive negligence of me, any of the other Released Parties, or otherwise. - Release of Claims:
I agree not to make a claim against or sue the Released Parties for, and I release, forever discharge, and will hold harmless the Released Parties, and each of them, from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, rights, causes of action, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from or in connection with any injury, disability, illness, death, or loss or damage to person or property that may be sustained or suffered by me, the Camper, or by any other person as a direct or indirect consequence of the Camper’s participation in the Program, whether caused by the action, inaction, or active or passive negligence of me, the Camper, any of the Released Parties, any third parties, or otherwise; provided, however, that this Release does not apply to liability for gross negligence, willful injury, or fraud. - Indemnification:
I hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties, and each of them, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any third-party claim that arises out of or relates to the Camper’s participation in or attendance at the Program. I understand and agree that I am responsible for any and all damages, losses, and expenses incurred by a Released Party arising out of or related to the Camper’s conduct. - Camper’s Readiness:
If I have any concerns regarding the Camper’s readiness for participation in the Program and/or the Program itself, I will remove the Camper from participation and bring such concerns to the attention of the Program staff immediately. - RELEASE, DISCHARGE, HOLD HARMLESS, AND AGREE NEVER TO SUE THE RELEASED PARTIES FOR ANY LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING INJURY, ILLNESS, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR DEATH CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE ALLEGED OR ACTUAL NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES. I further agree that if, despite this Agreement, I or anyone acting on my behalf makes a claim against any of the Released Parties, I will DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS each of the Released Parties from any attorneys’ fees, losses, liability, damage, or expenses which the Released Parties may incur as the result of such claim
- Acknowledgment of Understanding:
I have read this Release carefully and fully understand all its terms and provisions. I have knowingly and voluntarily agreed to this Release understanding the risks to me and the Camper and have done so of my own free will, without relying on any statement or representation of any of the Released Parties. I understand that this Release is the entire agreement between me and the Released Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and that this Release cannot be modified or changed in any way by oral statements by any of the Released Parties or by the Camper or me. I understand that, in the event of any litigation against the Released Parties, this Release may be raised as a defense and bar to, and as a waiver and release of, legal rights that might otherwise be asserted by me, the Camper, or any of my or the Camper’s heirs, assigns, personal representatives, or survivors.
I acknowledge that I have carefully read the above Release of Liability and Indemnity, and that I understand its contents. By providing my initials next to this paragraph, I hereby agree to the Release of Liability and Indemnity.
