State and local laws may vary, including laws governing waivers, releases, minors, consumer rights, concussion protocols, youth-sports safety, mandatory reporting, emergency care, insurance, and venue. Nothing in this Agreement waives a right or protection that cannot be waived under the law that applies to the Activity, the Participant, or the transaction.

**Activity / Program Name:** [your specific activity at registration]
**Activity Type:** Event, camp, clinic, tryout, recurring training, or program
**Participant(s):** the Participant(s) named at registration

## 3. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION

I acknowledge that participation in the Activity is entirely voluntary. I am not required to participate, and I am participating of my own free will and choice. I have had the opportunity to ask questions about the Activity and the risks associated with it.

## 4. ACKNOWLEDGMENT & ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I fully understand that sports, training, fitness, instruction, lessons, competitions, and related physical activities involve inherent risks of injury, illness, disability, paralysis, property damage, or death.

**I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS,** both known and unknown, even if arising from the ordinary negligence of the Releasees or others, and I assume full responsibility for my participation and for the participation of each Participant I register.

## 5. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY

In consideration of the Participant's acceptance into the Activity, I hereby RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, and COVENANT NOT TO SUE the Releasees from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, injury, illness, disability, paralysis, death, emotional distress, economic loss, or property damage that may be sustained by the Participant, by me, or by any third party, whether arising from the ordinary negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, while the Participant is participating in the Activity, using related content, present at related premises, or traveling to or from the Activity.

This Release applies to all claims, including but not limited to: ordinary negligence, negligent supervision, negligent instruction, negligent hiring or retention, negligent emergency response, premises liability, product or equipment-related claims, breach of contract, breach of warranty, consumer-protection theories, and any other legal theory, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. I acknowledge that this Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by law.

**I, FOR MYSELF AND ON BEHALF OF MY HEIRS, ASSIGNS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, SPOUSE, AND NEXT OF KIN, HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE** the Releasees from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action whatsoever, in law or in equity, arising out of or related to any loss, damage, injury, illness, or death that may be sustained by the Participant(s), or any property belonging to me or the Participant(s), **WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE**, while participating in the Activity, while on the premises where the Activity is being conducted, or while traveling to or from the Activity.

**Exclusion:** This release does NOT apply to claims that cannot be released as a matter of applicable law, which may include claims arising from willful misconduct or intentional torts of the Releasees. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit or waive any right that cannot be waived as a matter of law.

## 6. INDEMNIFICATION & HOLD HARMLESS

I agree to INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, and HOLD HARMLESS the Releasees from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), and liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Participant's participation in the Activity, my registration of the Participant, my breach of this Agreement, inaccurate or incomplete information I provide, my violation of rules or law, or claims made by or on behalf of the Participant. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

I further agree to **INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS** the Releasees from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, brought as a result of my or the Participant's involvement in the Activity, and to reimburse the Releasees for any expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim.

## 7. PARENTAL CONSENT, ATTESTATION, AND INDEMNIFICATION FOR MINOR PARTICIPANTS

If any Participant named above is a minor (under 18 years of age), the following provisions apply and are a material part of this Agreement:

**I represent and warrant that I am the parent, legal guardian, or an adult authorized by the parent or legal guardian** of each minor Participant, and that I have the full legal authority to register the minor, consent to participation, provide medical and emergency information, make decisions concerning participation, and enter into this Agreement on the minor's behalf to the fullest extent permitted by law. I have discussed the nature of the Activity and the risks described in Section 4 with the minor Participant in an age-appropriate manner, and the minor understands that they may be injured.

I further agree that, in consideration of the minor being allowed to participate, **I PERSONALLY INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS the Releasees from any and all claims, actions, demands, losses, costs (including attorneys' fees), and liabilities brought by, on behalf of, or through the minor Participant — including claims for personal injury, wrongful death, emotional distress, medical expenses, loss of consortium, or property damage — whether caused by the ordinary negligence of the Releasees or otherwise**, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. This indemnification is intended to survive even if the minor, upon reaching the age of majority, disaffirms or seeks to void the release in Section 5, and applies regardless of whether any court determines that a parent cannot waive a minor's own claims.

I agree that if I am not actually authorized to sign for the minor, I remain personally responsible for all claims, losses, expenses, refunds, chargebacks, disputes, and liabilities resulting from that lack of authority, including the Releasees' attorneys' fees and costs.

I further consent to the provision of emergency medical care to the minor as described in Section 8 in the event I cannot be reached.

## 8. MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION & EMERGENCY TREATMENT

In the event the Participant requires emergency medical attention and I cannot be reached, I hereby authorize the Releasees to consent to any necessary medical examination, treatment, surgery, anesthesia, medication, emergency transport, or hospitalization on behalf of the Participant. I agree to be responsible for all medical expenses incurred on behalf of the Participant. I release the Releasees from liability arising from good-faith efforts to obtain or authorize emergency care, except to the extent such liability cannot be released by law.

I certify that the Participant is physically fit and capable of participating in the Activity and has no medical condition that would prevent safe participation unless I have fully disclosed that condition before participation. I have disclosed all known medical conditions, allergies, medications, restrictions, disabilities, prior injuries, concussion history, emergency contacts, and other safety-relevant information in the Participant's profile on the Arena platform, and I agree to update this information promptly if it changes. I further authorize the Releasees and their agents to: (a) administer basic first aid; (b) seek and authorize emergency medical care, including transportation, hospitalization, diagnosis, and treatment by qualified medical personnel; and (c) act as my representative in consenting to emergency treatment where I cannot be reached in time. I accept financial responsibility for all such care and acknowledge that the Releasees are not responsible for the cost, quality, availability, or outcome of emergency medical services.

I understand that Arena is not a healthcare provider, does not verify medical information, does not provide medical advice, and does not provide health, accident, disability, or medical insurance for Participants. I am responsible for determining whether the Participant should consult a physician before participating.

## 9. EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES

I acknowledge that the Participant is responsible for bringing, inspecting, and using appropriate equipment, clothing, footwear, hydration, sun protection, medication, and protective gear for the Activity. The Releasees do not warrant the safety, condition, maintenance, supervision, staffing, or suitability of any equipment, facility, field, court, gym, parking area, locker room, walkway, or premises. If the Participant uses equipment or facilities provided by a Releasee or third party, the Participant does so at their own risk after reasonable personal inspection.

## 10. PARTICIPANT CODE OF CONDUCT

I agree that the Participant will comply with all activity rules, coach instructions, staff directions, safety rules, and facility regulations. I understand that any Participant who engages in unsafe, disruptive, disrespectful, harassing, discriminatory, threatening, violent, or illegal behavior may be immediately removed from the Activity without refund. Prohibited conduct includes but is not limited to: bullying, hazing, harassment, use or possession of controlled substances, alcohol, weapons, intentional harm to others or property, and refusal to follow reasonable safety instructions.

## 11. PLATFORM POSTURE — ARENA AS A MARKETPLACE

I understand and agree that Arena operates a technology marketplace that connects independent creators, coaches, trainers, clubs, organizations, and facilities with members and participants. **Arena does not provide coaching, instruction, supervision, childcare, transportation, facility operations, medical services, emergency services, or athletic services directly.** Creators and organizations offering programs through Arena operate as independent contractors, not as employees, agents, partners, franchisees, joint venturers, or representatives of Arena. Arena does not control the manner, method, staffing, facilities, equipment, transportation, safety practices, or day-to-day operation of any Activity. Arena does not verify, validate, endorse, or guarantee the safety, quality, legality, certifications, insurance, background check status, suitability, or qualifications of any creator, organization, facility, staff member, volunteer, or program. My participation in any Activity is a transaction between me (and the Participant) and the creator or organization hosting that Activity, facilitated by Arena's platform and payment processing tools only.

## 12. PHOTO, VIDEO & MEDIA RELEASE

Unless I have marked the Participant's photo/video preference as not allowed in Arena or notified the creator or organization in writing before the Activity begins, I grant the Releasees the right to photograph, film, record, livestream, store, display, and use the Participant's image, likeness, voice, performance, and name for safety, attendance, instructional, educational, operational, promotional, or marketing purposes, including event recaps, creator pages, websites, email, and social media, without compensation. This release does not authorize use of media in a defamatory, pornographic, deceptive, or unlawful manner. For minor Participants, I understand that public use of identifiable media should be handled with appropriate care and that I may revoke promotional media consent prospectively by updating the Participant's profile or notifying the creator and Arena.

I understand that incidental capture may occur in group, background, security, livestream, or venue media even if promotional media consent is declined, and that removal of media already lawfully published may not always be possible.

## 13. CONCUSSION, HEAT, AND HEALTH ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I understand that head injuries and concussions are serious. If the Participant experiences or is suspected of experiencing a concussion, head injury, heat illness, cardiac symptoms, severe allergic reaction, asthma distress, or other concerning medical symptoms, the Participant should stop participation and seek appropriate medical evaluation. I agree to disclose known concussion history and medical restrictions, follow return-to-play or return-to-activity instructions from qualified medical professionals, and not pressure any creator, staff member, or Releasee to allow premature return to participation.

## 14. GENERAL PROVISIONS

**Severability:** If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, the assumption of risk in Section 4, release in Section 5, indemnification in Section 6, minor addendum in Section 7, and marketplace acknowledgment in Section 11 are intended to be independent and severable, such that the unenforceability of one shall not affect the enforceability of the others. **Governing Law:** This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the **State of Utah**, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, except to the extent non-waivable laws of another state or jurisdiction apply to the Activity, the Participant, the transaction, consumer rights, youth-sports safety, privacy, or enforceability of a release or waiver. Any lawsuit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Activity shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in **Utah County, Utah**, and I consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection to venue, except where applicable law requires otherwise. **TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, I WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY** in any such action. **Entire Agreement:** This Agreement, together with Arena's Terms of Service and any activity-specific checkout terms, constitutes the entire agreement regarding liability and supersedes all prior discussions or representations on that subject. I acknowledge that I have had sufficient opportunity to read and understand this Agreement and have done so.

## 15. ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between me and the Releasees with respect to the Activity and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings. No oral representations, warranties, or modifications shall have any effect. I consent to sign this Agreement electronically pursuant to the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and applicable state electronic-transactions laws. **My click of the acceptance checkbox, followed by submission of my registration or booking, constitutes my legally binding signature** and has the same force and effect as a handwritten signature on a paper document. I understand that Arena will retain an electronic record of this Agreement, including the exact text I saw at the time of signing, and that I may request a copy by contacting hello@arenasports.space.

## 16. PARENT / GUARDIAN AND AUTHORIZED ADULT CERTIFICATION

**I CERTIFY THAT:** (1) if I am signing for myself, I am legally competent to do so; (2) if I am signing for a minor or another Participant, I am the parent, legal guardian, or authorized adult with legal authority to register and bind that Participant to the extent permitted by law; (3) I have read this entire Agreement carefully and understand its contents; (4) I understand that by accepting I am giving up substantial legal rights, including the right to sue the Releasees for ordinary negligence, on behalf of myself and/or the Participant to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (5) I am accepting this Agreement freely and voluntarily with full knowledge of its significance. **I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY. I FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS. I INTEND IT TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW.**
