Wristband Waiver, Release of Liability, and Assumption of Risk

By signing this waiver — or by wearing a Monterey Skates wristband at an event — you (or the parent/guardian of a minor) accept the terms below on behalf of yourself and the people covered by your signature.

Before participating in roller skating activities operated by Monterey Skates, LLC ("Monterey Skates"), all participants (including adult observers) are required to accept the terms of this waiver.

If the participant is a minor, the parent or legal guardian who signs for them accepts this waiver on their behalf.

Participation and Assumption of Risk

I acknowledge that I (or my minor child or dependent) have chosen to participate in roller skating activities (the "Activity") provided by Monterey Skates.

I understand that roller skating is a strenuous and potentially hazardous activity involving inherent risks, both known and unknown. These risks include, but are not limited to, falls, scrapes, cuts, bruises, contusions, fractures, overexertion, paralysis, injuries resulting from weather conditions or uneven surfaces, lack of conditioning or fitness, contact with other participants, communicable diseases, and other risks that may result in serious injury, illness, permanent disability, or death.

I voluntarily and knowingly assume all such risks, whether or not specifically listed, and accept full responsibility for any injury, loss, or damage arising out of my participation in — or observation of — the Activity.

Medical Responsibility

I understand that Monterey Skates does not provide medical care and assumes no responsibility for providing medical treatment during the Activity. I accept full financial responsibility for any medical care, treatment, transportation, or evacuation that may be required as a result of participation in the Activity.

Waiver and Release of Liability

I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Monterey Skates, its owners, employees, agents, officers, volunteers, contractors, affiliates, and partners (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, injuries, damages, or liabilities of any kind arising out of or related to my participation in the Activity.

This release includes, to the fullest extent permitted by law, claims arising from the negligence of the Released Parties or other participants.

Indemnification and Hold Harmless Agreement

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from my participation in the Activity, including claims resulting from my own negligence or the negligence of any minor for whom I am responsible.

Binding Effect

I understand and agree that this Waiver, Release of Liability, and Assumption of Risk is binding upon me and my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, executors, administrators, and estate. In the event of my death or incapacity, this agreement shall remain fully enforceable.

Participant Representation

I represent that I (and any minor for whom I sign) am physically able to participate in the Activity and that I am legally competent to accept this agreement. I agree to comply with all posted rules, safety signage, verbal instructions, and customary practices associated with the Activity.

Photography and Media Release

I understand that photographs or video recordings may be taken during the Activity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I grant Monterey Skates permission to use my likeness (and the likeness of any minor for whom I sign) in promotional, advertising, or informational materials in any medium, worldwide, in perpetuity, without compensation or prior approval.

If I do not wish to be included in promotional media, I understand that I must notify Monterey Skates staff prior to participation.

Governing Law and Arbitration

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any dispute arising out of or related to participation in the Activity or this agreement shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration in Monterey County, California, before a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Severability

If any portion of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Any invalid provision shall be modified to the maximum extent permitted by law to carry out the intent of this agreement.
