In consideration of the acceptance of my registration for and attendance in the Partners Detroit Athletic Events, including all activities related thereto (“the Events”), I hereby freely agree to and do hereby make the contractual representations, waivers, indemnities and agreements set forth below.
I fully acknowledge the hazardous nature of participation in the Events. I FULLY ASSUME THE RISK OF INJURY, SICKNESS, DAMAGE, LOSS OR DEATH ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENTS including, but not limited to, the following: the dangers of collision with participants and fixed or moving objects; the dangers arising from playing surface conditions, safety hazards, equipment failure, inadequate safety equipment, the Released Parties’ ordinary negligence, heat, humidity, and other weather conditions. I further acknowledge that participation includes possible exposure to and illness from infectious diseases including but not limited to MRSA, influenza, and COVID-19. While particular rules and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious illness and death does exist.
For myself, my spouse, or significant others, heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, assignees, and my successors in interest (collectively “Successors”), I HEREBY AND FOREVER WAIVE, RELEASE, DISCHARGE, HOLD HARMLESS, PROMISE NOT TO SUE AND AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DISPUTES, AND LIABILITIES, INCLUDING THOSE ARISING FROM THE RELEASED PARTIES’ ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, which I have or which may hereafter accrue to me or my Successors, together with any and all damages, including but not limited to, damage to my property or my person, which may be sustained by me directly or indirectly in connection with, or arising out of, my participation in or association with the Events or any activities incidental thereto, wherever or however the same may occur.
I agree that it is my sole responsibility to follow all Event rules and any special regulations for the Events. Partners Detroit reserves the right to refuse participation in any Event to anyone in violation of the rules applicable to an Event.
I represent that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may suffer or cause while participating in an Event, or else I agree to bear the cost of such injury or damage myself. I further represent that I am over the age of 18 and that I have no medical or physical condition which could interfere with my safety in any Event in which I participate, or else I am willing to assume and bear the costs and all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by participation in an Event.
I grant Partners Detroit my absolute permission to use, without charge, any and all photographs, video reproductions and other like kinds of image reproductions taken during an Event in which I may appear, for publicity or any other purpose chosen at the sole discretion of Partners Detroit.
I agree that this Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by law, and that if any portion of this Release is held invalid, I agree that the balance shall continue in full force and effect.
This Release may only be modified in writing signed by me and a duly authorized officer of Partners Detroit, Inc.
I agree, for myself and my successors, that the representations, agreements, covenants, waivers and indemnities set forth in this Release are contractually binding, and are not mere recitals, and that should I
or my successors assert any claim in contravention of this Release, the asserting party shall be liable for the expenses (including legal fees, through all levels of appeals) incurred by the Released Party or Parties in defending such claim, unless the Released Party or Parties are finally adjudged liable on such claims as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct. I further agree that if I institute any claims against the Released Parties in connection with an Event, I shall bring them in the State Court of Michigan, Oakland County, and I consent to personal jurisdiction in that court.
Your Registration will not be final unless signed in form.
