2. Participation in T-Town’s athletic program includes attending classes and any other team events or activities regardless of location. I understand that participation includes possible exposure to illness from communicable diseases. While particular rules and personal discipline may reduce this risk, I understand that no list of restrictions, guidelines, or practices will remove 100% of the risk of exposure as those viruses can be transmitted by persons who are not symptomatic and before some people show signs of infection. I understand that the risk of serious illness and death does exist. I understand that when participating in T-Town MMA’s athletic program, I will be in contact with coaches, teammates, families, children, and others who might expose me to communicable diseases and who are also at risk of community exposure.
3. I, the undersigned acknowledges, appreciates, and agrees that on behalf of myself, my heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and next of kin, hereby release and hold harmless T-Town MMA in the event of any illness, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property resulting from any communicable disease, including COVID-19 whether arising from the acts, omissions, or negligence of T-Town MMA, to the fullest extent permitted by law including, but not limited to, agreeing not to sue and releasing and holding harmless T-Town MMA from claims, liabilities, actions, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto.
4. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown and assume full responsibility for my participation.
5. I willingly agree to comply with the terms and conditions for participation regarding protection against infectious diseases as outlined in T-Town MMA’s Reopening Plan. If, however, I observe any unusual or significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring that hazard to the attention of the nearest official immediately.
6. I agree to assume all the foregoing risks and accept full responsibility for my own damages following illness, injury, permanent disability, or death.
7. I shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless T-Town MMA against any and all liability, loss, expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, claims from injury or damages to the extent that the same are caused by or result from the activities related to participation in T-Town MMA’s athletic program.
8. I understand and expressly agree that the terms of this Release are governed by the laws of the State of Washington. I also understand and expressly agree that the terms of this Release are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of Washington. Any provision or portion of this Release are found to be invalid by the courts having jurisdiction shall be invalid only with respect to such provision or portion. The offending provision or portion shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to confer upon the parties the benefits intended thereby. Said provision or portion, as well as the remaining provisions or portion hereof, shall be construed and enforced to the same effect as if such offending provision or portion thereof had not been contained herein.

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE AND FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS. I UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.
