Venture Athletics Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk Participation Waiver and Assumption of Risk In consideration of my child/ward, [Name of Minor Child/Ward], being permitted to participate in activities, classes, and events organized by Venture Athletics (hereinafter referred to as “the Program”), I, the undersigned, agree to the following terms, which I acknowledge and accept as a legally binding agreement: 1. Inherent Risk Acknowledgment - I acknowledge and fully understand that participation in the Program involves known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, permanent disability, paralysis, death, and/or damage to my child/ward’s person, property, or to third parties. Risks may be inherent to the activity itself and cannot be eliminated without compromising the essential qualities of the Program. I understand that these risks include, but are not limited to, slips, falls, collisions, equipment failure, and the potential for negligence by others, including staff or other participants.
2. Assumption of All Risks - I, on behalf of myself, my spouse, and my child/ward, voluntarily elect to assume all risks, whether known or unknown, even if arising from the negligent actions or omissions of Venture Athletics, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, volunteers, or other participants (collectively, “Releasees”). I accept full and sole responsibility for any injuries, losses, or damages incurred by my child/ward, myself, my family, my property, or third parties, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
3. Agreement to Program Terms and Safety Compliance - I understand and agree that strict adherence to all rules, safety regulations, and instructions is a condition of my child/ward’s participation in the Program. I further agree that should I observe any condition or behavior that poses a potential risk to my child/ward, I will immediately withdraw them from participation and promptly inform Program personnel. I acknowledge that any non-compliance with Program terms may result in immediate termination of participation without refund or recourse.
4. Comprehensive Release of Liability - I, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my child/ward, our heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and next of kin, hereby release, waive, discharge, and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action related to any loss, damage, injury, disability, death, or other harm suffered by my child/ward or others resulting from participation in the Program, whether arising from negligence, breach of contract, or other legal theories, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
5. Indemnification and Defense - I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, or damages, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of or in connection with my child/ward’s participation in the Program, regardless of whether such claims result from the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
6. Parental Acknowledgment and Affirmation of Risk Understanding - I affirm that I have explained the nature of the risks involved in participation to my child/ward, including but not limited to the importance of following all rules and regulations and that my child/ward understands and accepts these risks and responsibilities. I agree that this explanation has been clearly communicated and that my child/ward is fully aware of and prepared to assume the risks associated with the Program.
7. Acknowledgment of Complete Voluntary Participation and Full Waiver of Rights - I confirm that I have carefully reviewed and fully understand the terms of this waiver and assumption of risk agreement. I acknowledge that I am signing this document freely and voluntarily, without any inducement, assurance, or guarantee, and that I intend my signature to operate as a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent permitted by law.
