RELEASE, PERMISSION AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

Waiver in consideration of being permitted to participate in the pickleball leagues, I, for myself, my heirs or assigns, do hereby release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue the Billings Pickleball Association (BPA), its officers, volunteers and agents from liability from any and all claims resulting in personal injuries, accidents or illnesses (including death) and property loss arising from my participation in the leagues and/or drills.

Assumption of Risk participation in the leagues carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries.  The specific risks vary, but include 1) minor injuries such as bruises, sprains and dehydration, 2) major injuries such as eye injuries, joint, bone or back injuries, heat stroke, heart attacks and concussions, and 3) catastrophic injuries such as paralysis and death.  I have read the previous paragraphs and I know, understand and appreciate these and other risks that are inherent in playing pickleball.  I assert that my participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks.

Indemnify and hold harmless.  I also agree to indemnify and hold the BPA harmless from any and all claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including attorney fees brought as a result of my involvement in the leagues/drills.

I understand that I may be photographed during leagues and/or drills and that the club may use my photograph for promotional or informational purposes.
