II. EXPRESS ASSUMPTION OF INHERENT RISK & WAIVER OF NEGLIGENCE.
I understand that the Event(s) may include activities that may be hazardous to the minor and/or me, including but not limited to: interacting with people; athletic activity; exercising; spectating; and transportation to and from Event(s). In consideration of the minor being allowed to participate, I voluntarily and expressly understand, acknowledge, appreciate, accept and personally assume all inherent risk of injury, illness, death, or property damage from causes including, but not limited to, burns, cuts, abrasions, punctures and fractures to any part of the human anatomy including head, back, neck and spinal cord as a result of, but not limited to, falls, equipment failure, interactions with people, COVID-19 and other communicable diseases transmission, or negligence or my inattention during Event(s). I understand this is not a complete list of all risks and other unknown or unforeseeable hazards and risks may occur.
I voluntarily and expressly understand, acknowledge, appreciate, accept and personally assume all risk of injury and/or death due to the negligence of Athlinics, LLC, including the Released Parties, from causes including, but not limited to, COVID-19 and other communicable diseases transmission, inattention by the Released Parties, insufficient supervision, poor maintenance, and insufficient control of the location during Event(s). I understand this is not a complete list of all risks and other unknown or unforeseeable hazards and risks may occur.
I acknowledge that the minor is in sufficient health to participate in the Event(s) after consideration of all risks and hazards. With this in mind, I accept full responsibility for the minor’s and my safety and health and EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISKS OF HARM, whether foreseen or unforeseen, during or related to the Event(s). I freely and voluntarily understand that my full and complete assumption of risk is a material covenant, without which the minor would not be allowed to participate in a Athlinics, LLC activity and I would not be allowed to participate as a spectator. I know, understand, and appreciate the inherent risks involved and am voluntarily still consenting to a Athlinics, LLC activity.
​
III. GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER & COVENANT NOT TO SUE.
In consideration of being allowed to participate in a Athlinics, LLC activity, I, on behalf of the minor, voluntarily waive, excuse, absolve and forever release, discharge and hold harmless the Released Parties, from any and all liability, claims and demands whatsoever, in law or in equity, including attorneys’ fees, which arise directly or indirectly from the minor’s participation in the Event(s), including, but not limited to, claims for injury, illness, death, first aid, treatment, followup medical care, COVID-19 and other communicable diseases transmission, property damage or other damages to the minor, me, my family, estate, heirs, or assigns, resulting from ordinary or gross negligence of the Released Parties. I am solely responsible for the minor’s and my medical care and coverage should any be desired or needed, regardless of the actions taken or negligence of the Released Parties. Each Participant is expected and encouraged to arrive with medical or health insurance coverage.
I understand and agree that I am not only giving up my right to sue the Released Parties, but also any rights my heirs, executors, beneficiaries, personal representatives, guardians, administrators and assigns (collectively, my “Representatives”) may have to sue the Released Parties. I fully understand the effect of such waiver and waive all benefits flowing from any state or federal statute that would otherwise limit this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” I represent that I have the authority to do so, and my Representatives will be estopped from claiming otherwise. I understand that the Released Parties are relying on my full release and waiver of any and all claims, and would not otherwise allow the minor to participate.
​
IV. INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION
I, for myself and on behalf of the minor and my Representatives, agree that I shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify (pay all judgments and costs, including court costs, legal fees, and attorneys’ fees) the Released Parties against any and all claims or causes of action, including, but not limited to, any actions for personal injury, death, COVID-19 and other communicable diseases transmission, or property damage, by whomever made and wherever presented incurred as a result of 1) the minor and/or my injury and/or death or 2) injury or loss to any other person caused by the minor and/or me. I further agree to hold harmless, defend and indemnify the Released Parties against any and all claims arising from the minor’s and/or my negligent conduct during the Event.
