THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING. In consideration of being permitted to participate in any activities or services provided by Southwest Florida Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation d/b/a Sports Challenge America, and Elevate Operations LLC, together with their parents, subsidiaries, and/or affiliates (collectively, “SCA”), I, the undersigned participant, acknowledge, understand, and agree to the following: 1. Assumption of Risk: I understand that entering a facility owned or operated by SCA and/or participating in any of the offerings provided by SCA, including but not limited to challenges, leagues, scrambles, open play activities, tournaments, clinics, camps, practices, rentals, and any other related sports, recreational, wellness, fitness, social or community activities (collectively, the "Activities") involves inherent and significant risks, including, but not limited to, equipment malfunction, falls, collisions, being hit by a ball, club, or other objects, sliding injuries, overuse injuries, strains and sprains, cuts and abrasions, finger and hand injuries, sunburn, dehydration, heat-related illnesses, as well as the potential for severe bodily injury, disfigurement, paralysis, or even death. These risks are present in various sports and activities, such as baseball, golf, soccer, bowling, football, and basketball, and may also be present in other Activities provided. Additional risks may include contracting a viral or bacterial infection, such as COVID-19, environmental hazards, such as uneven or slippery surfaces, poor weather conditions, and the actions or inactions of other participants. The Activities may also involve risks related to the use of facilities or equipment, including potential mechanical failures. Other accidents or injuries may result from my actions or the actions of others, including those that may be severe, permanent, disabling, or life-altering. I acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in the Activities, and I assume all risks, both known and unknown, foreseeable and unforeseeable, associated with my participation. I understand that it is my responsibility to assess my own physical and mental capabilities and to determine whether I should participate in the Activities. By participating, I accept full responsibility for the consequences of my actions and the risks associated with the Activities. 2. Waiver and Release of Liability: I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue SCA, its owners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, and/or contractors (collectively referred to as "Released Parties") from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, or losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in any way related to (i) my presence at a facility owned or operated by SCA; and/or (ii) my participation in the Activities. This waiver and release extends to, but is not limited to, personal injury, property damage, disfigurement, paralysis, wrongful death, emotional distress, loss of consortium, loss of income or earning capacity, medical expenses, or any other damages, whether caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise, and regardless of the foreseeability or avoidability of such damages. I understand that this waiver and release of liability is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by Florida law and if any portion of this waiver and release is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall continue in full legal force and effect to the greatest extent permitted by law. I further agree that this waiver and release of liability shall bind my family, spouse, heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and anyone else entitled to act on my behalf. By signing this waiver and release of liability, I acknowledge that I have carefully read and fully understand its contents, and I voluntarily agree to its terms, intending to be legally bound by them. I understand that I am giving up substantial legal rights, including the right to sue the Released Parties for damages in the event of injury or death resulting from my participation in the Activities. 3. Indemnification: I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SCA and its owners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, and/or contractors (collectively referred to as "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or related to my participation in the Activities, my presence at a facility owned or operated by SCA, or my use of any equipment, facilities, or common areas provided by SCA. This indemnification obligation includes, but is not limited to, claims arising from the negligence of the Indemnified Parties or any third parties, as well as any claims resulting from property damage, personal injury, disfigurement, paralysis, wrongful death, emotional distress, loss of consortium, loss of income or earning capacity, medical expenses, or any other damages that may be incurred. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from any claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or related to any breach of this agreement or any representations, warranties, or acknowledgments I have made herein. My indemnification obligation extends to the actions of my family members, guests, or any other persons who attend the facility or participate in the Activities as a result of my actions or invitation. By signing this agreement, I understand that I am accepting financial responsibility for any harm or loss caused by my actions or the actions of those associated with me. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of this agreement, and it shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 4. Health and Fitness: I represent and warrant that I am physically capable of participating in the Activities and do not have any medical condition, injury, or impairment that may affect my ability to safely participate. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to consult with a physician prior to participating in the Activities if I have any concerns about my health or fitness. 5. Rules and Regulations: I agree to follow all rules, regulations, and instructions provided by SCA, including any posted at the SCA’s facility or communicated by SCA staff. I understand that SCA reserves the right to remove me from the Activities or any SCA facility if I fail to comply with these rules or if my behavior poses a risk to myself or others. 6. Governing Law and Venue: This Waiver and Release of Liability shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising out of or relating to this Waiver and Release of Liability shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Lee County, Florida.
