WEST COAST ELITE FC
RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY FORM
Waiver: For and in consideration of being permitted to participate in, and engage in activities related to, the West Coast Elite FC (the “Club”), including participating in practices, training and games and other Club programs and activities (collectively, the “Activity”), I, for myself, my heirs, representatives, executors, administrators and assigns, do hereby irrevocably release, waive, discharge and indemnify and hold harmless (and covenant not to sue) the Club and its affiliated organizations and their respective directors, officers, employees, sponsors, volunteers, agents, contractors, representatives and associated personnel, including Club coaches and staff (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all actions, damages, claims, suits or liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, related to, resulting from or arising out of (i) my participation in the Activity, (ii) the negligence or other acts, whether directly connected to the Activity or not, and however caused, by any of the Released Parties and/or (iii) the condition of the premises where the Activity occurs, whether or not I am then participating in the Activity.
Assumption of Risks: I have been advised by the Club to consult with a physician before I participate in the Activity. I acknowledge and agree that participation in the Activity carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. The specific risks vary from one activity to another, but the risks range from (i) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises and sprains, (ii) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, heart attacks, and concussions to (iii) catastrophic injuries, including paralysis and death. I have read the previous paragraphs and I know, understand and appreciate these and other risks that are inherent in the Activity. I hereby assert that my participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks.
Photo/Video Release: I acknowledge and agree that the Club may take photographs and/or video of me in connection with the Activity. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activity, I hereby authorize and grant permission to the Club to photograph and/or record me in connection with the Activity and to use, reproduce, edit and/or publish for all purposes, any and all photographs, images, video or audio recordings of me or my likeness made by the Club in connection with or otherwise related to the Activity.
Severability: I further expressly agree that the foregoing waiver and assumption of risks agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
Acknowledgment of Understanding: I have read this Release and Waiver of Liability Form, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I acknowledge that I am signing the agreement freely and voluntarily, and intend by my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.
