Participant Waiver/Release Form
Waiver: In consideration of permission to use, today and on all future dates, the property, facilities, staff, equipment, and services of KC Crew, LLC (“KCC”), I, for myself, my heirs, personal representatives or assignees, do hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue KCC, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from liability from any and all claims including the negligence of KCC resulting in personal injury, accidents or illnesses (including death), and property loss arising from, but not limited to, participation in activities, activity programming, observation, and use of facilities, premises, or equipment. I certify that I am at least 18 years of age and agree to comply with any and all rules, regulations, terms, and conditions for participation in the activity. I grant KCC permission to use photographs, videotapes, recordings or any other record of me in the event for any legitimate purpose.
Assumption of Risks: Physical activity, by its very nature, carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. KCC has facilities for, and provides for sporting competition, which places stress on the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. The specific risks vary, but the risks range from: minor injuries to catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death. The social and economic losses and/or damages, which could result from these risks or dangers described above, could be severe. Additionally, there may be other risks not known to us or that are not reasonably foreseeable at this time. I acknowledge and represent that I am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in KC Crew activities. I further agree and warrant that if at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the activity. I agree to inspect the equipment and premises to be used prior to participation. If I believe that anything is unsafe, I will inform league officials, team captains, referees or facilities’ owners of the issue and refuse to participate if not corrected.
COVID-19: The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. It is believed that an individual can be infected with COVID-19 without their knowledge and be asymptomatic. KCC has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, KCC cannot guarantee that I, or anyone else, will not become infected with COVID-19, including my spouse, guests, unborn child, or relatives. Participation in a KCC athletic sports program(s), related event, or activity, could increase the risk of contracting COVID-19. By signing this agreement, I ACKNOWLEDGE the contagious nature of COVID-19 and VOLUNTARILY ASSUME THE RISK that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participating in a KCC athletic sports program(s), related event, or activity, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death to myself, my spouse, guests, unborn child, or relatives. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at a KCC athletic sports program(s), related event, or activity may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself or others, including, but not limited to, KCC employees, volunteers, and program participants. I UNDERSTAND AND VOLUNTARILY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL the foregoing risks related to COVID-19 and accept sole responsibility for any injury or illness that may occur. Further, I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of KCC, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any KCC athletic sports program(s), related event, or activity.
I have read the previous paragraphs and I understand, appreciate, and am informed of these and other risks that are inherent in the activities made possible by KCC.
Indemnification and Hold Harmless: I also agree to indemnify and hold KCC harmless from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities, including attorney's fees brought as a result of my involvement at KCC and to reimburse them for any such expenses incurred.
Severability: The undersigned further expressly agrees that the foregoing waiver and assumption of risks agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the law of the State of Missouri and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
Acknowledgment of Understanding: I have read this waiver of liability, the assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I acknowledge that I am signing freely and voluntarily, I represent that I have provided factually accurate information, and intend by my signature to bring about a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.
