Terms & Conditions of Participation
In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way, in any S3 Leagues (“S3”) event, program or activity (collectively “Programs”), I understand, acknowledge, appreciate and agree that:
The risks of injury and risk from the activities involved in these Programs are significant, including the potential for death, bodily injury, sickness and disease, permanent disability, loss of or damage to equipment or property, exposure to collision, vehicles, or natural or manmade objects, dangers arising from adverse weather conditions, imperfect conditions on the property where the Programs are taking place, equipment failure, inadequate safety measures, participants of varying skill levels, situations beyond immediate control of the organizers or S3, and other undefined risks and dangers which may not be readily foreseeable or are presently unknown (the “Risks”). I knowingly and freely assume all such Risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of S3 and assume full responsibility for my participation; and I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation, including any rules provided by S3 for participation in the Programs.
I hereby represent that I am in good health and in proper physical condition to participate in the Programs and I am not under the influence of alcohol or any illicit or prescription drugs which would impair my ability to safety participate in the Programs.
I have inspected or will immediately inspect the facilities and equipment to be used in conjunction with the Programs and if I believe any unsafe condition exists, I will immediately advise S3 of such condition and will refuse participation until such condition is corrected; I further consent to the use of my image or likeness in promotional material to be used by S3, it’s associates, and the general media. I freely and willingly waive all rights and claims to compensation for use of my image or likeness.
For a period of two (2) years following the date of my last participation in any Program, I shall not, directly or indirectly, develop, create, establish or participate in the development, creation or establishment of any organization, league or other entity that engages in events, programs and activities competitive with S3’s Programs.
I agree to be familiar with and abide by any rules or regulations established for the Program in which I participate. I also accept sole responsibility for my own conduct and actions while participating in these Programs and the condition and adequacy of any equipment that I might own, use, or supply in conjunction with the Program.
I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS S3, their officers, officials, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, shareholders, volunteers, and if applicable owners and lessors of premises used for the Programs (“Releasees”), with RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, LOSS OR DAMAGE TO PERSON OR PROPERTY ASSOCIATED WITH MY PRESENCE OR PARTICIPATION, OTHER LOSSES AND EXPENSES INCLUDING COURT COSTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHICH MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO MY PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM.
This voluntary liability waiver form shall be in full force and effect at all times during my participation in the Programs, of any kind or nature, and for whatever period of time I participate in said Programs, either continuously or from time to time, as the case may be. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, and governed according to the laws of the State of Illinois.
I HAVE READ THIS VOLUNTARY LIABILITY WAIVER, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY REGISTERING FOR A LEAGUE AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS, AND DO SO FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES REGARDING THESE ISSUES AND NO ORAL REPRESENTATION, STATEMENTS, OR INDUCEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE APART FROM THIS AGREEMENT. IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE HELD UNLAWFUL, VOID OR FOR ANY REASON UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THAT PROVISION SHALL BE DEEMED SEVERABLE FROM THIS AGREEMENT AND SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF ANY REMAINING PROVISIONS.
This Code of Conduct is agreed to by registering for a league. It reads:
– I have read this Code of Conduct and hereby agree to adhere to it or forfeit my league fee and the remainder of my league’s season as well as any amount of future leagues and events.
– I will not engage in unsportsmanlike conduct with any player, participant, official or any other attendee.
– I will not impede the progression of a game for any reason.
– I will not engage in any behavior which would endanger the health, safety or well being of any player, participant, official or any other attendee, including myself.
– I will not play under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
– I will treat any player, participant, official or any other attendee with respect regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, ability, sex or sexual orientation.
– I will not engage in verbal or physical threats or abuse aimed at any player, participant, official or any other attendee.
– I will not initiate a fight or scuffle with any player, participant, official or any other attendee.
– If I violate the S3 Player Code of Conduct, punishment may include but not be limited to same day game ejection, suspension from future games, removal from entire season or being banned from future league participation.
– I will participate in mediation with an open mind if any situation arises that I am involved in and attempt to move forward from a problem. If a solution cannot be achieved through mediation, I may be removed from the league without refund to ensure the well being and cohesiveness of the team.
– S3 reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.
– Players are welcome to leave a review for S3 after their league experience. Pretty much everyone leaves a 5 star review (yay!), but if you choose to leave a negative review then S3 reserves the right not to allow you to participate again in a league. You’re allowed to review any business that you’d like, but why would you want to rejoin an organization that provides a poor experience? As a small organization, reviews are VERY important to S3. So we ask that before leaving a negative review you contact us to discuss your issues and hopefully come to a satisfactory resolution. Thank you for your help with this.
