I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS RELEASE IS A CONTRACT WITH LEGAL AND BINDING CONSEQUENCES AND IT APPLIES TO ALL COMPETITIONS AND ACTIVITIES AT THE EVENT AND THE USE OF THE FACILITY. In consideration of the opportunity to attend, observe, and/or participate in the event, I hereby freely agree to and make the following contractual representations and agreements. I acknowledge that racquetball is an inherently dangerous sport involving a risk of serious injury or death and I fully acknowledge the dangers of attending, observing and/or participating in this event, whether as a player, official, coach, volunteer, or otherwise, and I fully assume the risks associated with such attendance, observation and/or participation, by way of example, and not limitation: dangers associated with playing in close proximity to competitors, inadequate safety equipment, and the dangers associated with court surface inadequacies. I agree it is my sole responsibility to be familiar with the event courts and agenda, the Releases’ rules, and any special regulations for the event and agree to comply with all such rules and regulations. I understand and agree that situations may arise during the event which may be beyond the control of the Releases, and I must continually compete and otherwise participate so as to neither endanger myself nor others. I accept responsibility for the condition and adequacy of my equipment, any equipment provided for my use, and my conduct in connection with this event. I will wear an eye guard which satisfies the requirements of the Releases’ Participant Rules or Regulations and that can protect against serious eye injury, and assume all responsibility and liability for the selection of such an eye guard. I represent that I am in good physical health and have no prior injuries or known physical disabilities which would endanger myself or others if I participate in this event. I understand that drug testing may be conducted for athletes registered for this event and hereby consent to such testing as further consideration for the opportunity to participate in the event. I HEREBY CONSENT TO RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT WHICH MAY BE DEEMED ADVISABLE IN THE EVENT OF INJURY, ACCIDENT AND/OR ILLNESS DURING THE EVENT. I agree that the above representations are contractually binding, and are not mere recitals, and that should I or anyone acting on my behalf assert a claim contrary to what I have agreed to in this contract, the claiming party shall be liable for the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the Releases in defending the claims. This contract may not be modified orally, and a waiver or modification of any provision shall not be construed as a waiver or modification of any other provision herein or as a consent to any subsequent waiver or modification. I give the USAR, IRT, IRT Network, and the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), the absolute right and permission to use my image or likeness as part of any live or recorded video display or other transmission, reproduction or depiction of video or photographs for any legitimate business purpose. I release USAR, the photographer, their respective officers, employees, agents, and designees from liability for any violation of any personal or proprietary right I may have in connection with such use. I am 18 years of age or older and am of legal age of consent in the jurisdiction of the event with no legal disabilities that prevent me from being legally bound by this Release (unless my parent or legal guardian has executed this Release).
