INDIANAPOLIS GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
WAIVER AND RELEASE FROM LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Read Before Signing
IN CONSIDERATION of my participation in the INDIANAPOLIS GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION and related activities and events, I HEREBY WAIVE AND RELEASE, indemnify, hold harmless and forever discharge the INDIANAPOLIS GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (“Club”) and its members, agents, employees, emergency volunteers, offi cers, directors, affi liates, successors and assigns (such parties together with the Club being collectively referred to as the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, demands, debts, contracts, expenses, causes of action, lawsuits, damages and liabilities, of any kind and nature, whether known or unknown, in law or equity, that I, my child or my ward have or may have, arising from or in any way related to my, my child’s or my ward’s voluntary participation in the sports of hurling, camogie, Gaelic football, or the Club’s related programs, activities and events, including social events, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES; provided, however, that this waiver of liability does not apply to acts of intentional misconduct. I understand and agree that:
- The risk of injury from activities involved in the Gaelic sports is signifi cant, including the potential for permanent injury, paralysis, death and damage to personal property, and while particular skills, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce these risks, the risk of serious injury does exist; and
- I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES or others, and I ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY for my, my child’s or my ward’s participation; and
- I agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I observe any unusual, signifi cant hazard during my, my child’s or my ward’s presence or participation, I will remove myself, my child or my ward from participation and bring such to the attention of the Club; and
- I certify that I, my child or my ward HAVE NO HEALTH RELATED CONDITIONS, such as HEART PROBLEMS, PREGNANCY, BROKEN BONES, RECENT SURGERY OR ILLNESS, BALANCE DISORDERS, EPILEPSY, NECK INJURY or any other physical or mental condition that would prevent me, my child or my ward from safely participating in this activity; and
- If injury occurs in connection with the event, I agree that anyone who provides medical assistance to me, my child or my ward shall not be liable if they increase the injury or cause additional injury or death; and
- The Club requires the use of a helmet with a full facemask for hurling and camogie participation. I understand that the use of such helmet may reduce the likelihood of injuries. Likewise, a full facemask may further reduce the risk of injury. I acknowledge the requirement of a helmet with a full facemask. For participition in Gaelic football, I understand that a properly fi tted mouthguard is the best available protective device for reducing the incidence and severity of sports-related dental injuries. The club requires the use of a protective mouthguard for participation in Gaelic football. I acknowledge it is my responsibility to use a mouthguard for Gaelic football participation.
- I hereby grant the Club permission to use my likeness in a photograph, video, or other digital media (“photo”) in any and all of its publications, including web-based publications, without payment or other consideration. I understand and agree that all photos will become the property of the Club and will not be returned. I hereby irrevocably authorize the Club to edit, alter, copy, exhibit, publish, or distribute these photos for any lawful purpose. In addition, I waive any right to inspect or approve the fi nished product wherein my likeness appears. Additionally, I waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising or related to the use of the photo. I hereby hold harmless, release, and forever discharge the Club from all claims, demands, and causes of action which I, my heirs, representatives, executors, administrators, or any other persons acting on my behalf or on behalf of my estate have or may have by reason of this authorization.
Any questions I had have been asked and answered to my complete satisfaction. I understand the risks of participation in this activity.
I HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FULLY AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE. I UNDERSTAND AND CONFIRM THAT BY SIGNING THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL FUTURE LEGAL RIGHTS, AND MY SIGNATURE IS PROOF OF MY INTENTION TO EXECUTE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW. I AM SIGNING THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT, AND UNDER NO DURESS OR THREAT OF DURESS.
