88BJJ - Youth Participation Agreement
I acknowledge that participating in martial arts classes, training and competition is a potentially dangerous activity. The possibility of bumps, bruises, scrapes, soreness, sprains twists, related injuries or even death is possible. I could be exposed to illness such as novel coronavirus or other illnesses and disease. I completely absolve 88BJJ and any party acting on their behalf of responsibility for any injury or illness I may sustain during any activities both inside and outside of the 88BJJ facility.
I acknowledge that physical contact with my child’s body is both part of practicing and learning this martial art. The chest, buttocks, groin, or any part of the body may be contacted by any part of the training partner’s body during training of a specific technique or incidentally contacted while performing a martial arts technique targeting another portion of the body.
I understand that instructors may adjust or manipulate any part of my child’s body to assist in the proper application and understanding of a technique. I understand and have communicated to my child their right to withdraw from any exercise or drill for any reason and at any time. If the conduct of an instructor or training partner appears inappropriate, the parent/guardian should inform a 88BJJ director or instructor privately. If the conduct of an instructor or any training partner appears criminal, then a director or instructor should be informed and the authorities may be notified either by the parent/guardian or the director/instructor, or both.
I understand that if my child’s behaviour endangers the safety of other children during 88BJJ 's activities or if their behaviour is excessively disruptive, they may be suspended from their participation. I agree to pick up my child within a reasonable timeframe if my child is suspended.
No refunds or vouchers will be given in such a case. I agree not to bring any claim or suit against 88BJJ directors, instructors, staff, guests, students, landlord, or any other parties on behalf of my child for any injury or harm sustained by any event short of a criminal act, and then only the criminal shall be the subject of such a claim. I further agree that I will not cause to be brought, nor encourage a claim or suit. I also agree not to cooperate in the bringing of such a suit or claim except insofar as I may be legally required to do so. Finally, I shall indemnify 88BJJ directors, instructors, staff, guests, students, and any and all additional defendants covered by this agreement for all judgments, costs, attorney fees and other expenses incurred as a result of a breach of this agreement. If any clause, sentence, phrase or statement in this document is found unenforceable or invalid by any Court of law, the remainder of this document shall remain valid and enforceable and the invalid clause, sentence, phrase or statement shall be considered struck from the document.
I understand that by entering the 88BJJ facility that we may be subject to audio and video recording at any time. I hereby authorize any images, audio or video footage taken of my youth (under 18 years of age), in whole or in part, individually or in conjunction with other images and video footage, to be used by on our website, social media, Facebook, Instagram and / or any other official channels, and to be used for media purposes including promotional presentations and marketing campaigns. I also authorize the display and use of any media material created by my youth within 88BJJ facility. I waive rights to privacy and compensation, which I may have in connection with such use of my youth’s name and likeness, including rights to be written, copy that may be created in connection with video production, editing and promotion therewith.
The 88BJJ and its instructors, coaches, and students are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please make an effort to bring all clothing, mouth guards, water bottles and other items home with you.
Novel Coronavirus is a respiratory illness that everyone may be exposed to. The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces. You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth. I understand the risks of being exposed to coronavirus and I completely absolve 88BJJ and any party acting on their behalf of responsibility for any injury or illness or loss I may sustain. I will not bring my child to class if they feel ill and/or show any of the signs of COVID-19 and/or if my child and I have been in contact with someone who is suspected of having COVID-19. If this is the case, I will contact one of the instructors as soon as possible with this information.
I am over 19 years-of-age and the parent or legal guardian of the youth, and I have read this waiver and am familiar with its content and agree with each and every item.
