I understand that I am not required to sign this Release of Liability, Indemnification, and Assumption of Risk Agreement (“Agreement”). There are many places to play pickleball without becoming a member of CAPA or participating in CAPA events or activities. Or, if I wish to become a member of CAPA or participate in a CAPA event or activity without signing this Agreement, I will be permitted to do so if I pay an additional $100. If I choose to sign this Agreement, I agree as follows:
1. Capacity. If I am signing this Agreement on behalf of myself, I represent that I am a competent adult at least 18 years of age.

This release includes all claims and causes of action of any type whatsoever, whether based on statute or common law or otherwise, relating in any way to any property damage or personal injury (including death) I may suffer in connection with my being a member of CAPA or a participant in a CAPA event or activity, even if caused by the negligence or other improper (but non-intentionally wrongful) conduct of CAPA, or of CAPA’s officers, directors, volunteers, or agents, or any other person or entity. I understand that the activities in which I may participate while playing pickleball or participating in a CAPA event or activity involve risks of property damage, personal injury, and death, and I consciously assume and take full responsibility for those risks and any resulting injuries or damages.

I agree and covenant that I will never assert any claim or lawsuit based on any of the claims or matters released in Paragraph 2, against CAPA, or any of CAPA’s officers, directors, volunteers, or agents, or any other person or entity. I will fully indemnify and defend CAPA and its officers, directors, volunteers, and agents, and hold them harmless from, any liabilities or costs (including attorneys fees and other defense costs) they may incur as a result of any such claim or lawsuit, whether brought by me or by any other person or entity.
4. Assumption of Risk. I assume all risk of any property damage, injury, or death I may sustain while participating in a CAPA event or activity.

6. Medical Care. I authorize CAPA to seek all reasonable medical and surgical care that may be necessary as a result of any injury I sustain while participating in a CAPA event or activity, if I am unable to authorize such care for myself.
7. Scope. I sign this Agreement, and grant the release in Paragraph 2, on behalf of myself and my estate, heirs, beneficiaries, survivors, personal representatives, agents, and successors.
8. Use Permission. I grant to CAPA my permission to use, without compensation or other obligation, my image and name for purposes connected with CAPA events or activities, including but not limited to purposes of marketing, promotion, advertising, and training.
9. Duration. This Agreement, including the release set forth in Paragraph 2, shall apply and remain in effect so long as I remain a member of CAPA or whenever I participate in a CAPA event or activity, until I cancel it by delivering written notice of cancellation to CAPA, or until it is cancelled by CAPA by delivering written notice of cancellation to me.
