Important Notice
This Participation Waiver contains a release of liability, assumption of risk, waiver of certain legal rights, and indemnification obligations. By accepting this Waiver electronically, you are waiving certain rights, including the right to sue in certain circumstances. Please read carefully before agreeing.

Legal Authority
By registering a participant in any program operated by Kickers United Soccer Academy Inc., the undersigned parent or legal guardian represents and warrants that they are the lawful parent or court appointed guardian of the minor participant, are of the age of majority in Ontario, possess full legal capacity to enter into binding agreements, and have full legal authority to execute this Participation Agreement on behalf of the participant.

Voluntary Participation
The parent or guardian acknowledges that participation in soccer training, competitive play, camps, clinics, tournaments, and related athletic activities is entirely voluntary and that the participant is under no obligation to engage in such activities.

Acknowledgment of Inherent Risks
The parent or guardian acknowledges and understands that participation in soccer and related athletic activities involves inherent and significant risks of physical injury, illness, permanent disability, property damage, and in rare circumstances, death. Such risks include physical contact with other participants, collisions, falls, equipment related injury, facility conditions, weather exposure, uneven surfaces, travel related risks, actions or inactions of other participants or spectators, communicable illness exposure, and other foreseeable or unforeseeable hazards. The parent or guardian understands that these risks may arise from the actions, omissions, or negligence of other participants or third parties and that not all risks can be eliminated without fundamentally altering the nature of the activity.

Assumption of Risk
The parent or guardian knowingly and voluntarily assumes all inherent and ordinary risks associated with participation in Academy programs on behalf of the participant, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, except where such injury or damage is directly caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Academy.

Communicable Illness
The parent or guardian acknowledges that participation in group athletic programs may involve exposure to communicable illnesses including viral or bacterial infections and voluntarily assumes all risks associated with such exposure except where directly caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Academy.

Release of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parent or guardian, on behalf of themselves and the participant, releases, waives, and discharges Kickers United Soccer Academy Inc., its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, coaches, volunteers, contractors, agents, affiliates, sponsors, facility operators, and representatives from any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising out of or relating to participation in Academy programs, except where such claims arise directly from gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Academy.

Covenant Not to Sue
The parent or guardian agrees that neither they nor the participant will commence or maintain any legal action against the Academy in respect of matters released under this Agreement, except where such limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

Indemnification
The parent or guardian agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Academy from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, or costs arising from the participant’s misconduct, violation of Academy policies, breach of this Agreement, or unlawful conduct.
 

Medical Fitness and Ongoing Disclosure
The parent or guardian confirms, to the best of their knowledge, that the participant is physically capable of participating in athletic activities and agrees to disclose any known medical condition, injury, limitation, allergy, or health concern that may affect safe participation, and further agrees to promptly inform the Academy of any change in the participant’s medical condition during the program term.

Emergency Medical Authorization
In the event of injury or medical emergency where the parent or guardian cannot be reached promptly, the parent or guardian authorizes the Academy to obtain emergency medical care deemed reasonably necessary and agrees to assume full financial responsibility for such care.

Insurance
The parent or guardian acknowledges that the Academy may maintain general liability insurance but that such insurance may not cover all potential injuries or losses, and the parent or guardian is responsible for maintaining appropriate personal medical or health insurance coverage for the participant.

Compliance With Policies
The parent or guardian agrees that participation is subject to compliance with all Academy policies including the Code of Conduct Policy, Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, Media Release governing the use of photographs and video recordings, Cookies Policy, Intellectual Property Policy, and Terms of Service, all of which are incorporated by reference into this Participation Waiver.

Electronic Execution and Evidentiary Record
The parent or guardian acknowledges that completion of online registration, acknowledgment of required checkboxes, and submission of a typed name constitute a legally binding electronic signature under the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 Ontario, and have the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature. The parent or guardian further acknowledges that the Academy maintains electronic records of registration submissions including timestamps, IP addresses, device identifiers, policy version references, and acknowledgment confirmations, and agrees that such records may be relied upon as evidence of acceptance and agreement.

Severability
If any provision of this Waiver is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement
This Participation Waiver constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to participation in Academy programs and supersedes any prior oral or written representations relating to the subject matter herein.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Waiver shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein, and the parties attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario.

Acknowledgment
