In consideration of being allowed to participate in the Activities provided by Rock Spot Climbing Group, Inc. (the “Host”), the Participant, and the Participant’s parent or legal guardian if Participant is a minor, hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as follows:

a)        Participation in the Activities involves certain INHERENT RISKS. These inherent risks include, but are not limited, to: (a) misuse of the climbing walls, equipment, and/or facilities; (b) deciding to climb and climbing beyond the bounds of Participant’s ability and/or experience level; (c) falls and abrupt and possibly harmful contact with persons, structures and objects (fixed and moveable), including climbing walls, volumes, holds, equipment (including dropped equipment during route setting or otherwise), flooring (including breaks or seams in flooring even if not open and obvious) and other surfaces; (d) failure of the facilities, climbing walls, holds, and exercise, fitness, and other equipment; (e) crossing, climbing, or climbing down; (f) Limitations on personal physical coordination, capacity, sense of balance, decision making, and ability to follow or give or understand directions; (g) mental or physical health problems of Participant and others; (h) transmission of infectious disease, whether related to the COVID-19, or other pandemics, epidemics, disease outbreaks, public health emergencies, or otherwise; (i) lack of training and conditioning; and (j) carelessness, inattention, and/or misjudgments, including negligence (active or passive), of Participant, other users of the Host’s facilities, and/or gym staff, by failing to follow proper procedures, instructions and operating policies.

It is understood and acknowledged that injuries and/or death proximately caused by any inherent risk of the Activities may result from the actions or inactions of another participant. Participant, and the Participant’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s) if the Participant is a minor, hereby acknowledge their understanding of the inherent risks and expressly agree to ASSUME THE INHERENT RISKS OF THE ACTIVITIES, including but not limited to those set forth above.

d)          The Participant, and Participant’s parent or legal guardian if Participant is a minor, understand that Participant is obligated to follow the rules of the Activities and that Participant can minimize Participant’s risk of injury by doing so and through the exercise of common sense and by being aware of their surroundings.

e)          If, while participating in the Activities and/or using the Equipment, the Participant observes any unusual hazard or condition, which they believe jeopardizes Participant’s personal safety or that of others, Participant will remove themself from participation in the Activities and/or use of the Equipment and immediately bring said hazard or condition to the attention of the Host.

Participant, and Participant’s parent or legal guardian if Participant is a minor, release the Host from liability for any violation of any personal and/or proprietary right Participant or Participant’s parent/legal guardian may have in connection with such reproduction or use.

Parental/Guardian Responsibility

Participant’s parent or legal guardian hereby agrees that they will explain to Participant that the risk of injury to Participant and others while participating in the Activities can be reduced by following the rules and through the use of common sense and good judgment.

Binding Arbitration

The Participant, and the Participant’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s) if the Participant is a minor, hereby agree to submit to binding arbitration any dispute, claim, or controversy, relating to and/or arising from (a) this Participation, Acknowledgment & Assumption of Risks & Binding Arbitration Agreement, (b) Participant's participation in the Activities, and/or (c) any other interaction between the Participant and the Host, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate. For such disputes, there shall be a three-member arbitration panel, consisting of two party-appointed arbitrators (one arbitrator to be appointed by each party) and one neutral arbitrator (collectively, the “Panel”), to be chosen by the party-appointed arbitrators. In the event that the two party-appointed arbitrators are not able to agree on a third, neutral arbitrator, the neutral arbitrator shall be appointed by the United States District Court, for the District of Connecticut. The Panel shall also have the authority to determine the arbitrability of any claim pursued in relation to this Agreement. Each party shall pay its own costs, including the costs associated with the party-appointed arbitrators, and the parties shall share equally the costs associated with the neutral arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding shall proceed in New Haven County, State of Connecticut, and shall be governed by the Federal Rules of Evidence and the substantive laws of the State of Connecticut. The Panel shall establish a reasonable and appropriate discovery schedule to expeditiously resolve this matter. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties and controversy. Participant, Participant’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s), and the Host specifically intend this Binding Arbitration provision to survive in the event that any other portion of this Agreement is held invalid. NOTICE TO PARTICIPANT: By signing this Agreement, you are giving up your right to commence litigation against the Host in a court of law, and you are giving up your right to a trial by jury.

This Agreement, which consists of this and the previous pages, will apply to Participant’s participation in the Activities for the current and for all future visits, until cancelled in writing by Participant or Participant’s parent or legal guardian if Participant is a minor, or until it expires pursuant to the provisions of applicable law.

To the extent that any portion of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid under the laws of the State of Connecticut, the remaining portions of the Agreement shall remain binding and available for use by the Participant, the Host, and their respective counsel in any proceeding.

I/WE UNDERSTAND THAT I/WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE, OR TO HAVE MY MINOR CHILD NOT PARTICIPATE, IN THE ACTIVITIES AND THAT I/WE HAVE ENTERED INTOP THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY.
