ASSUMPTION OF RISK, WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

I understand and acknowledge that my participation in martial arts training, including Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai, strength and conditioning training, or any other activities or events (each an “Activity” and collectively, the “Activities”) held by Anderson Family Jiu Jitsu LLC dba Gracie Barra Cincinnati (“Company”) will expose me to risks and dangers that are inherent to such Activities, including accidents, injury, illness, or death. I agree that my participation in the Activities is voluntary and at my own risk. 

I assume all risks, foreseeable or otherwise, associated with my participation in Company’s Activities, including falls, contact with other participants or Company’s employees or contractors, the effects of weather, including high heat and/or humidity, negligence by Company’s employees or contractors, and all other risks, known or unknown. 

I acknowledge and represent that I am physically fit and mentally capable of participating in and performing the Activity or Activities. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to communicate and fully disclose any and all physical or psychological conditions or injuries to Company prior to participating in any Activity. 

In consideration of Company’s acceptance of my participation in the Activities and my receipt of Company’s services, I agree, on behalf of myself and my heirs, assigns, and any other party entitled to act on my behalf: (1) to fully WAIVE AND RELEASE Company and its officers, agents, employees, contractors, organizers, representatives, successors and assigns from any and all responsibility, liabilities, demands, actions, claims, or losses of any kind, including claims of negligence against Company, its employees, contractors, or other participants, arising out of or related to, directly or indirectly, my participation in the Activity; and (2) to fully INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS Company and its officers, agents, employees, contractors, organizers, representatives, successors and assigns from any responsibility, liabilities, demands, claims (including claims of negligence), judgments, costs, or expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to, directly or indirectly, my participation in the Activity. I understand and acknowledge that this agreement is binding upon my heirs, assigns, representatives, agents, and any other party entitled to act on my behalf. 

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, I fully assume the risks associated with participating in the Activities, including risks arising out of or related to Company’s or its employees’ and/or contractors’ negligence. 

I understand that if I am injured during an Activity, Company, or its officers, agents, employees, contractors, organizers, representatives, or other parties unaffiliated with Company (including program sponsors, organizers, or other third parties) may render medical services to me or request that others render such services. By taking such action, neither Company nor any of the aforementioned parties are admitting any responsibility, fault or liability to provide or continue to provide such services. Further, such action is not a waiver by Company or any of the aforementioned parties of any rights under law or under this agreement. Should I require medical services, including transportation to a medical facility, I agree that I am financially responsible for such costs. I further agree that if I am injured during any Activity, it is my obligation to notify Company and to seek appropriate medical care. I agree that this agreement will have no bearing on any workers’ compensation claim that I may make as a result of my participation in the Activity. 

I hereby grant Company, and its representatives and affiliated entities, the irrevocable and unrestricted right to photograph, film, and/or record me during training, classes, competitions, or other gym-related activities. I understand that such images, videos, and recordings may be used for promotional, educational, and commercial purposes, including social media, websites, advertisements, and printed materials. I waive any right to royalties or compensation related to the use of such media and release Company from any claims, damages, or liability that may arise from such use. If I do not wish to appear in media, I understand that it is my responsibility to notify Company management in writing prior to participation. 

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. Any legal action or proceeding arising under or related to this agreement shall be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Hamilton County, Ohio. 

If any part of this agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. 

I have read, I understand, and I voluntarily agree to the terms of this agreement.

The word “including” when used in this agreement shall be deemed to mean, “including, but not limited to” or “including without limitation.”
