PARTICIPANT WAIVER, RISK WARNING, RELEASE AND CONSENT FORM

WARNING: This is an important document that affects your legal rights and obligations. Read it carefully before signing. If you have questions, ask the event organiser before participating.

This waiver applies to my participation in The Muaythai Sisterhood Series and any related event, workshop, seminar, partner-based activity or other associated activity organised, hosted, facilitated or supported by the event organisers.

This waiver applies to the event I am registering for and any future Muaythai Sisterhood Series events I attend, unless I complete a new or updated waiver.

For this waiver, “event organisers”, “we”, “us” and “our” includes Yolandà Schmidt, Soraya Hamami, The Muaythai Sisterhood Series, approved guest coaches, facilitators, presenters, volunteers, venue providers, and related persons or organisations involved in delivering or supporting the event.

Risk warning, acknowledgement and assumption of risk

I acknowledge that The Muaythai Sisterhood Series includes physical, recreational, cultural, and educational activities that may involve a significant risk of physical harm.

• I am not required to participate in any activity and may stop, observe or modify my participation at any time.


• I may be injured by my own participation, by another participant, or through contact with equipment, the venue or the training environment.


• Risks may include physical or psychological injury, serious injury, permanent injury, disability or death.

I voluntarily participate at my own risk and accept responsibility for injury, illness, loss, damage or death arising from my participation, except to the extent that liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

Health, injury, allergy and fitness declaration

I declare that I am medically and physically able to participate in the activities I choose to undertake. I understand that I am responsible for notifying the event organisers on arrival, and before participating, of any injury, illness, medical condition, medication, pregnancy, post-partum consideration or other factor that may affect my safe participation. I will immediately stop and notify an organiser if I feel unsafe, injured, unwell, distressed or unable to continue.

• Food or refreshments may be provided. I confirm that I have provided accurate allergy and dietary information during registration and will notify the event organisers if this information changes.


• I understand that organisers cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.

 Safety rules and participant responsibilities

 I agree to follow all reasonable instructions from hosts, facilitators and organisers; participate safely and respectfully within my own ability; use appropriate control during partner-based and contact-based activities; stop immediately if directed or if I feel unsafe, injured, uncomfortable or unwell; use equipment safely; respect the cultural elements shared during the event; and not participate while affected by alcohol, recreational drugs or any substance that may impair safety or judgement.

The event organisers may modify, restrict, refuse or stop my participation in any activity if they believe it is unsafe or inappropriate for me or others to continue.

Release and indemnity

 In consideration of my payment or participating in the activity (and except to the extent that the same may be precluded by statute), I agree to release and indemnify The Muaythai Sisterhood Series as follows:

• injury, illness, loss, damage or death arising from my participation, the ordinary risks of the activity, the actions of other participants, use of equipment or attendance at the venue;


• any claim, loss, damage, cost or expense arising from my negligent, reckless, intentional or unsafe conduct, failure to follow instructions, failure to disclose relevant medical information, or misuse of equipment or facilities;


• to the extent permitted by law, liability connected with the supply of recreational services involving death, physical injury, mental injury, aggravation of injury or illness.

Nothing in this waiver excludes, restricts or modifies liability, rights, guarantees or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, including liability arising from gross negligence, reckless conduct or intentional misconduct.
