In consideration of my involvement at this and any future Colorado Badminton Club Training Programs, Open Gyms, or any other Programs, Events, or Activities, however named, organized, and/or announced (collectively, the “Colorado Badminton Club Programs”) under the auspices of Colorado Badminton Club.  I acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that:

1. I risk bodily injury, including paralysis, dismemberment, disability, and death, and while particular rules of the sport, equipment, and discipline may reduce this risk, this risk of injury does exist, as well as the risk of damage to or loss of property.

2. I knowingly and freely assume all such risk; both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the releases of others;

3. I willingly agree to comply with the state and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I observe any unusual or unnecessary hazard during my presence or participation or if I observe any concern in my readiness for participation, I will immediately bring such to the attention of the nearest official and refrain from participation; and

3a. I, for myself, and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, herby release, hold harmless and promise not to sue Colorado Badminton Club, the committee, their sponsors, their officers, volunteers, staff, sponsors and/or agents, (“releasees”) with respect to any and all injury and loss arising from my participation, whether caused by the negligence of the releasees, the condition of the premises or otherwise, except that which is the result of gross negligence or wanton misconduct, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

4. I agree to be bound by the rules and regulations of the International Badminton Federation and those of USA Badminton and I hereby stipulate that I am eligible to play in the events for which I am applying and that I understand that the above mentioned make no representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the premises or the operation of the event.

5. I hereby grant to Colorado Badminton Club, it’s licensees and contractees including photographers, television and motion picture rights including to film or videotape me during matches, narratives, personal interviews, or comment thereon for any and all commercial, news or other purposes together with the right to transfer or grant their rights to others, all without
