HIT ZERO ATHLETICS TUMBLING CLASS PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT IMPORTANT: This is a legally binding agreement that includes an assumption of risk, release of liability, payment obligations, and a photo/video release. Please read it completely before signing. 1. ENROLLMENT, TUITION, AND CANCELLATION 1.1 Monthly auto-enrollment. Enrollment continues automatically from month to month until properly canceled under this Agreement. Tuition is charged on the first day of each month using the payment method on file. The monthly rate reserves the Athlete's place in a recurring class and is the same whether a calendar month contains four or five scheduled class meetings. 1.2 Cancellation deadline. To cancel enrollment for the following month, the Parent/Guardian must provide written notice received by Hit Zero Athletics no later than the 20th day of the current month. Notice given after the 20th does not cancel or excuse tuition for the following month. A verbal statement to a coach is not sufficient. Written cancellation must be submitted through the parent portal or another written method designated by Hit Zero Athletics, and the Parent/Guardian should retain confirmation of receipt. 1.3 No refunds or credits. ALL TUITION, REGISTRATION FEES, AND OTHER AMOUNTS PAID ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND NONTRANSFERABLE. No refund, credit, prorating, or make-up class is owed for absences, vacations, illness, injury, schedule conflicts, voluntary withdrawal, disciplinary suspension or dismissal, weather closures, holidays, or other missed classes, except if Hit Zero Athletics expressly agrees in writing. If Hit Zero Athletics permanently cancels a class without offering a reasonable replacement, its sole obligation will be a prorated credit or refund for the canceled portion, as determined by Hit Zero Athletics. 1.4 Payment authorization. The Parent/Guardian authorizes Hit Zero Athletics to charge the payment method on file for all amounts due under this Agreement. Declined or late payments may result in suspension from participation and may be subject to reasonable fees disclosed by Hit Zero Athletics. The Parent/Guardian remains responsible for all balances until cancellation becomes effective. 2. PARTICIPATION, HEALTH, AND SAFETY 2.1 Fitness to participate. The Parent/Guardian represents that the Athlete is physically and mentally able to participate, has disclosed relevant medical conditions, allergies, injuries, medications, and limitations, and will notify Hit Zero Athletics promptly of any change. The Athlete will not participate while ill, contagious, impaired, or contrary to medical advice. Hit Zero Athletics may restrict participation or require medical clearance when reasonably necessary for safety. 2.2 Rules and supervision. The Athlete will follow all instructions, progressions, spotting requirements, equipment rules, dress requirements, and safety directions. Hit Zero Athletics may move the Athlete to an appropriate level, modify skills, or stop participation. The Parent/Guardian understands that coaches cannot guarantee constant one-on-one supervision or prevention of every injury. 2.3 Emergency care. If the Parent/Guardian cannot be reached, the Parent/Guardian authorizes Hit Zero Athletics and its personnel to obtain reasonable first aid, emergency medical care, ambulance transport, and hospital treatment for the Athlete. This authorization does not create a duty to provide medical care. The Parent/Guardian accepts responsibility for all resulting costs and authorizes disclosure of necessary information to emergency providers. 3. ASSUMPTION OF RISK; RELEASE; INDEMNIFICATION 3.1 Acknowledgment of inherent risks. The Parent/Guardian understands that tumbling, gymnastics, cheerleading-related training, conditioning, stretching, spotting, use of spring floors, mats, trampolines, tumble tracks, rod floors, resi pits, blocks, and related equipment involve inherent and other risks. These include falls, awkward landings, collisions, equipment failure, overexertion, and contact with people, surfaces, or objects, and may result in strains, sprains, fractures, concussion, head, neck or spinal injury, paralysis, illness, emotional injury, property loss, permanent disability, or death. Risks may arise from the Athlete's actions, the actions of others, facility conditions, instruction or supervision, or ordinary negligence. The Parent/Guardian knowingly and voluntarily assumes all risks of participation, whether known or unknown, to the fullest extent permitted by law. 3.2 Release and waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law, the Parent/Guardian, individually and on behalf of the Athlete where legally permitted, releases and agrees not to sue Hit Zero Athletics, its owners, affiliates, landlords, officers, employees, coaches, contractors, volunteers, agents, insurers, successors, and assigns (the "Released Parties") for claims, demands, damages, losses, or causes of action arising from or related to participation, presence at the facility, travel on premises, or use of equipment, INCLUDING CLAIMS ALLEGING THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF A RELEASED PARTY. This release does not apply to gross negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct, or any liability that cannot legally be waived. 3.3 Parent's individual claims and indemnification. The Parent/Guardian expressly releases the Parent/Guardian's own claims, including claims for medical expenses, loss of services, or consortium, to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Parent/Guardian agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from third-party claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from the Athlete's or Parent/Guardian's intentional misconduct, violation of this Agreement, or damage caused by them, except to the extent caused by a Released Party's gross negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct, or other nonwaivable conduct. 4. CODE OF CONDUCT 4.1 Athlete standards. The Athlete will be respectful, coachable, honest, and safe; arrive on time and prepared; use appropriate language; respect teammates, staff, spectators, equipment, and property; avoid bullying, harassment, hazing, threats, fighting, discrimination, retaliation, theft, unsafe conduct, and disruptive behavior; and use social media responsibly without targeting or disparaging others or Hit Zero Athletics. 4.2 Parent/Guardian and guest standards. Parents, guardians, and guests will communicate respectfully; support coaching decisions and athlete development; avoid sideline coaching, confrontations, gossip, harassment, threats, profanity, bullying, public disparagement, and disruptive conduct; follow viewing-area, parking, pickup, facility, and communication rules; supervise nonparticipating children; and raise concerns privately through the designated management process. 4.3 Enforcement. Hit Zero Athletics may respond to violations with a conference, warning, removal from a class or facility, suspension, level reassignment, or dismissal from the program. Serious or repeated misconduct may result in immediate dismissal. Removal, suspension, or dismissal for conduct does not eliminate amounts already due and does not create a refund or credit. 5. PHOTO, VIDEO, AND MEDIA RELEASE 5.1 Permission. The Parent/Guardian grants Hit Zero Athletics and its designees permission to photograph, film, livestream, record, edit, reproduce, publish, display, distribute, and otherwise use the Athlete's image, likeness, voice, name, team/class affiliation, and athletic performance in any lawful media for program, instructional, promotional, advertising, social media, website, print, news, archival, and commercial purposes, without compensation, approval rights, or ownership interest. Hit Zero Athletics owns the resulting materials. 5.2 Privacy and revocation. Hit Zero Athletics will not intentionally publish the Athlete's home address, personal phone number, or private medical information. The Parent/Guardian may revoke permission for future use by written notice, but revocation will not affect materials already created, published, distributed, contracted for, or included in group content. Hit Zero Athletics cannot guarantee removal from third-party platforms or shared media. 6. GENERAL TERMS 6.1 Governing law; severability; entire agreement. Maryland law governs this Agreement. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified only as necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. This Agreement is the complete agreement concerning its subject matter and may be modified only in a writing authorized by Hit Zero Athletics. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. 6.2 Electronic signatures and continuing effect. Electronic and handwritten signatures and counterparts are effective. This Agreement remains in effect for all current and future tumbling classes and related activities until superseded in writing, including after cancellation as to obligations and claims arising during participation. 7. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN (OR THE ADULT ATHLETE) CONFIRMS THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS ENTIRE AGREEMENT, HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS, AND VOLUNTARILY AGREE TO ALL TERMS, INCLUDING THE MONTHLY PAYMENT/CANCELLATION POLICY, NO-REFUND POLICY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE OF LIABILITY, AND PHOTO/VIDEO RELEASE.
