Before you can skate at one of our sessions, we need to ask you review and sign our waiver. You only need to fill out the waiver once, and when you come a second time, just let us know you already filled out and we can look it up for you!
The undersigned individual (or parent/guardian of a minor participant) has chosen to participate in the roller skating activities (hereinafter referred to as the “Activity”) provided by Monterey Skates, LLC.
I, on behalf of myself or my minor dependent, hereby acknowledge and agree that the Activity is a strenuous and potentially hazardous activity, and that I may be exposed to inherent dangers and hazards and known and unknown risks, including but not limited to falls, scrapes, cuts, bruises, contusions, fractures, overexertion, paralysis, injuries from dangerous weather conditions, uneven surfaces, the participant’s lack of conditioning or fitness, communicable diseases, and other risks of injury, harm, and death.
Acknowledgement of Risks and Medical Responsibility
I understand and agree that as a consequence of these risks and others not specifically listed that may be associated with the Activity, I may be seriously injured, disabled, become ill, or may die from the resulting injuries. I acknowledge that Monterey Skates does not provide and assumes no responsibility for providing medical care during the Activity, and that I am financially responsible for any medical care and/or treatment and/medical evacuation that I may incur while participating in the Activity.
Waiver and Release of Liability
I hereby freely assume the inherent risks as well as any other risks not listed that are part of the Activity, and any harm, injury, illness, or loss that may occur to me or my property as a result of my participating in the Activity, including but not limited to any harm, injury, illness or loss caused by the negligence of Monterey Skates and its employees, agents, officers, volunteers, and contractors, as well as other Activity participants including the Monterey County Fair and Events Center and the City of Marina.
As a condition of participating in the Activity, I hereby agree to hold harmless, release, waive, and indemnify Monterey Skates and its employees, agents, officers, volunteers, and contractors, from any and all claims, causes of action, injuries, liabilities, or damages resulting from my participation in the Activity, including any claim that may arise due to negligence of their part or on the part of any other Activity participant. I also agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Monterey Skates and its employees, agents, officers, volunteers, and contractors, from any and all claims for my own negligence, and any other claim arising from conduct during the Activity. In accordance with these promises, I will reimburse the released parties for any damages, reasonable settlements, and defense costs, including attorney’s fees, that they incur because of any such claims made against them.
I further agree that in the event of my death or disability, the terms of this Activity Waiver, Release, and Indemnity Agreement, including the assumption of risk, release, waiver, and indemnity provisions, shall be binding on my estate, and my personal representative, executor, administrator or guardian shall be bound to respect and enforce them.
I hereby represent that I am physically able to participate in the Activity, and that I am legally competent to understand and complete this Activity Waiver, Release, and Indemnity Agreement. I hereby execute this Activity Waiver, Release, and Indemnity Agreement freely and without coercion. I agree to read, understand, and abide by all stated and customary terms, posted safety signs, rules, and verbal instructions applicable to participation in the Activity.
