BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT (“RELEASE”), I HEREBY WAIVE CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE, BLUE 5 BASKETBALL, LLC (“BLUE 5”), A GEORGIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY.
There are certain inherent risks associated with participating in basketball and/or athletic training that cannot be eliminated which may lead to physical or psychological injury, pain, suffering, temporary or permanent disability, death, property damage, and/or financial loss. These injuries and losses may result from – without limitation – practice, training, competitive play, the acts of others, or training equipment, and may also be caused by or compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of Blue 5, including negligent emergency response or the unavailability of (all collectively the “Risks”). All or any of these Risks will be inherent in participating in Blue 5’s basketball camps and training (the “Activities”). HAVING READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS PARAGRAPH AND APPRECIATING THESE RISKS, and in consideration of my or my minor child’s participation in the Activities, I knowingly and voluntarily affirm that I desire to participate in the Activities and agree on behalf of myself or my minor child (as the case may be if this Release is being signed by a parent or guardian on behalf of a minor):
1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. MY CHOICE TO PARTICIPATE OR TO ALLOW MY CHILD TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITIES IS KNOWING, VOLUNTARY, AND MADE FOR MY PERSONAL ENJOYMENT OR MY CHILD’S PERSONAL ENJOYMENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITIES INVOLVES INHERENT RISKS AND DANGERS OF ACCIDENTS, EMERGENCY TREATMENT, PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL AND BODILY INJURY, DEATH, AND SEVERE PERSONAL AND ECONOMIC LOSSES. THESE MAY RESULT NOT ONLY FROM MY OWN OR MY CHILD’S ACTIONS, INACTIONS, OR NEGLIGENCE, BUT ALSO FROM THE ACTIONS, INACTIONS, OR NEGLIGENCE OF OTHERS, OR THE CONDITION OF THE FACILITIES OR EQUIPMENT. FURTHER, THERE MAY BE OTHER RISKS NOT KNOWN TO ME OR REASONABLY FORESEEABLE AT THIS TIME. I UNDERSTAND, AND I HAVE CONSIDERED, THE RISKS INVOLVED, AND I VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY CHOOSE TO ASSUME THESE RISKS ON BEHALF OR MYSELF OR MY CHILD.
2.PHYSICAL CONDITION. I certify that I am or my minor child is physically fit and has not been advised to refrain from participating in physical training or sports, including basketball, by a qualified medical professional. I do not know of any health-related reasons or problems as to why I or my minor child should not participate in the Activities.
3.RELEASE FROM LIABILITY. I fully and forever release and discharge Blue 5 and its respective affiliates, officers, managers, members, employees, contractors, agents, and insurers, and all others involved in the Activities (collectively the “Releasees”) from any and all injuries (including death), losses, damages, claims (including negligence claims), demands, lawsuits, expenses, and any other liability of any kind (“Losses”), of or to me or my minor child, my or my minor child’s property, or any other person, directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with my or my minor child’s participation in the Activities, even if due to the ordinary negligence, injudicious act, omission, or other fault of Blue 5. This waiver and release does not extend to claims for intentional misconduct or any other actions that Georgia law does not permit to be released by agreement.
4. COVENANT NOT TO SUE. I will not initiate any claim, lawsuit, or other legal proceeding against Blue 5, nor join or assist in the prosecution of any claim for money or other damages which anyone may have on account of injuries (including death), losses, or damages sustained by me, my child, or other parties, or my or my child’s (or others’) property in connection with my or my child’s participation in the Activities, and I waive any right I may have to do so. This means I cannot sue to hold Blue 5 responsible for any injury, loss, or damage sustained by me my child, or other parties, or my or my child (or others’) property in connection with the Activities, even if due to the ordinary negligence, injudicious act, omission, or other fault of Blue 5.
