Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, Hold Harmless, and Indemnity Agreement

For good and valuable consideration to attend and participate in all activities at the Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center located at 2250 S. Chicago St., Joliet, IL, I for myself, my minor(s), my heirs, personal representative, and assigns agree as follows:
 
To release, discharge, waive, indemnify, hold harmless, and covenant not to sue Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center, LLC and Cadence Soccer Management, LLC and their owners, directors, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, participants, assignees, and all other persons or entities acting for them and each of their heirs, successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as “Cadence”) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, obligations, claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees), or any other matters arising from any acts, omissions, or consequences, whether foreseen or unforeseen by Cadence or any other person or entity whatsoever, but within the scope of possible dangers in conjunction with my attendance at Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center and participation in activities at Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center, including, but not limited to, personal injury, accident or illnesses (including death), and property loss (whether real and/or personal).
 
Participation in activities and attendance at Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center shall include any participation and/or attendance in any manner whatsoever and in whatever form.
 
My participation in activities and attendance at Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center subjects me to activities that are inherently dangerous activities that can lead to serious bodily injury, death, damage, and/or the destruction of property (real and/or personal). Specifically, physical activity, by its very nature, carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center has facilities for and provides for activities that include, but are not limited to, soccer, weight lifting, and running. Some of these involve strenuous exertions of strength using various muscle groups, some involve quick movements involving speed and change of direction, and others involve sustained physical activity which places stress on the cardiovascular system. The specific risks vary from one activity to another and vary for attendees attending one activity or another, but the risks range from minor injuries such as scratches and bruises to major injuries such as eye injuries or loss of sight to catastrophic injuries including death.
 
I know, understand, and appreciate such risks and understand such risks cannot be eliminated simply by using safety equipment. My participation in activities and attendance at Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center are purely voluntary in spite of such risks. I hereby knowingly and expressly assume responsibility for all such risks due to my participation in activities and attendance at Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center.
 
Further, I hereby grant Cadence the irrevocable right and permission to use photographs and/or videos taken of me at the Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center for the Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center website, publications, promotional flyers, educational materials, derivative works, marketing, or for any other similar purpose or in any other media used by Cadence on behalf of Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center without compensation to me. I understand and agree that I may be identified by name and/or title if the photos and/or videos are used by Cadence under the methods stated herein. I agree that all such photographs and videos shall remain the property of Cadence. For the purposes of this agreement, photograph and video shall mean: any and all portraits, pictures, photographs, video and audio recordings, and any reproductions thereof, and all plates, negatives, recording tape and digital files. I agree to release, discharge, waive, indemnify, hold harmless, and covenant not to sue Cadence from and against any and all liabilities, damages, obligations, claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees), or any other matters arising out of or in connection with the use of said photographs and/or Page 2 of 2 videos; including, but not limited to, any claims for defamation, appropriation of likeness, misrepresentation, rights of publicity or copyright infringement, and/or for the invasion of privacy.
All individuals under the age eighteen (18) years old (“minor(s)”) are subject to this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, Hold Harmless, and Indemnity Agreement. The person who agrees to and accepts the terms hereunder on behalf of the minor certifies that he or she is over the age of eighteen (18) and is the minor’s parent, legal guardian, or other authorized adult who is capable of granting legal consent on the minor’s behalf. After legal consent is granted for the minor, the minor shall be bound and adhere to the terms of this agreement. Minors are required to be accompanied by their parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult in order to attend and participate in activities at Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center. Entry with such an adult shall constitute ratification of the adult’s prior consent to this provision on the minor’s behalf. Unaccompanied minors will be excluded or removed from the Cadence Soccer & Futsal Center.
 
This Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, Hold Harmless, and Indemnity Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. If any portion of this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, Hold Harmless, and Indemnity Agreement is found to be invalid, void, and/or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain legally valid and in full force and effect.
 
I have had sufficient time to read this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, Hold Harmless, and Indemnity Agreement and consult with legal counsel if need be. I fully understand the terms of this agreement and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue by signing this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, Hold Harmless, and Indemnity Agreement. I acknowledge that I am signing this agreement freely and voluntarily, and intend by my signature that this agreement be binding on me and to be a complete and unconditional release of liability to the greatest extent allowed by Illinois law.
