Martial arts for your whole family

KAITEN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS AGREEMENT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND INCLUDES A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO SUE.

1. Activities covered

This agreement applies to all activities at or organized by Kaiten Mixed Martial Arts Academy ("the Club"), including martial arts instruction, sparring and partner drills, grappling, striking, conditioning and fitness training, use of equipment and facilities, seminars, gradings, competitions, and travel to and from any Club event.

2. Assumption of risk

I understand that martial arts and combat fitness training are inherently dangerous activities involving physical contact, exertion, and the use of equipment. Risks include, but are not limited to: bruises, cuts, sprains and strains, dislocations, broken bones, concussion and other head or brain injuries, neck and spinal injuries, joint damage, heart attack or cardiac events, permanent disability, paralysis, and death.

I understand these risks may result from my own actions, the actions of other participants, the actions or inaction of instructors, the condition of the premises or equipment, or from negligence on the part of the Club or those listed in section 3.

I freely accept and fully assume all such risks and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage, and loss resulting from them.

3. Release of liability and waiver of claims

In consideration of being permitted to participate, I agree:

• (a) To waive all claims I have or may have against Kaiten Mixed Martial Arts Academy, its owners, directors, officers, instructors, coaches, employees, volunteers, members, independent contractors, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, and the owners and occupiers of any premises where Club activities take place (together, "the Released Parties");
• (b) To release the Released Parties from all liability for any loss, damage, injury, expense or death I may suffer, or that any member of my family may suffer, as a result of my participation, including loss, damage, injury or death caused by the negligence, breach of contract, or breach of any statutory or other duty of care of the Released Parties, including any duty of care owed under the Occupiers Liability Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 337; and
• (c) Not to sue any of the Released Parties in respect of any such claim.

4. Indemnity

I agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) brought by or on behalf of any person, arising out of or in connection with my participation in Club activities, my conduct, or my breach of this agreement.

5. Health, fitness and conduct

I confirm that I am physically fit to participate and have no medical condition that would make participation unsafe, or that I have obtained medical clearance to participate. I agree to disclose any relevant injury, illness, pregnancy or medical condition to my instructor, to train within my abilities, to follow all Club rules and instructor directions, to wear required protective equipment, and to treat all training partners with control and respect.

6. Medical treatment

I authorize the Club to arrange emergency medical treatment if required, and I accept responsibility for any resulting costs.

7. General

This agreement is binding on me, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns. It is governed by the laws of British Columbia, and any dispute will be heard in the courts of British Columbia. If any part of this agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining parts continue in full force. This agreement continues to apply to all my participation with the Club, including renewals and future memberships, until I revoke it in writing.

Kaiten Mixed Martial Arts Academy sometimes takes photos and video during classes, gradings, seminars and events.

By opting in, I give Kaiten Mixed Martial Arts Academy permission to use photos and video that include the participant on its website, social media pages, printed materials and other promotional material, without payment. Names will not be published without separate permission.

I may withdraw this permission at any time by telling Kaiten Mixed Martial Arts Academy in writing. Material already published may remain in use where removing it is not practical.

Opting out does not affect participation in any way.
