Waiver, Assumption of Risk, and Release of Liability

I understand that boxing and related training involve inherent risks, including but not limited to:

• Strenuous physical exertion
• Slips, falls, collisions, and equipment-related injuries
• Sprains, strains, fractures, cuts, bruises
• Concussions, head injury, and other serious injury
• Injury from contact drills and sparring, including for non-competitors
• Illness or other health complications

These risks can be serious and may result in permanent injury or death. I voluntarily choose to participate, knowing these risks exist.

If I participate in sparring or contact drills, I understand risk increases substantially.

I agree:

• Sparring is voluntary and may be limited or prohibited by coaches at any time
• I will follow all sparring rules and coach instructions
• I will use required protective equipment as directed
• I will stop immediately if instructed or if I feel unwell, dizzy, injured, or unsafe

GoldenStars Boxing may refuse or stop sparring participation at any time for safety, skill level, conduct, or any other reason.

I represent that:

• I am physically and medically able to participate
• I have no condition that would make participation unsafe, or I have consulted a medical professional and been cleared to participate
• I will promptly inform coaches of relevant medical conditions or injuries that affect safety
• I will not participate under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, illegal drugs, or impairing medication

I agree to follow gym rules, safety guidance, and coach instructions. I understand that failure to follow rules increases risk of injury to myself and others.

I accept full responsibility for my actions and behavior while participating.

To the fullest extent permitted, I release and waive all claims against GoldenStars Boxing and its owners, coaches, staff, contractors, volunteers, agents, and representatives ("Released Parties") for any injury, loss, damage, or expense arising out of or related to my participation in Activities, including sparring, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

This release includes claims arising from:

• Training instruction or supervision
• Facility conditions
• Use of equipment
• Contact with other participants

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claims, demands, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• My participation in Activities
• My breach of this waiver
• My negligent or wrongful acts or omissions

I understand that I am responsible for my own property. I agree GoldenStars Boxing is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to personal items.

If I require emergency medical assistance, I authorize GoldenStars Boxing to seek reasonable assistance on my behalf. I understand I am responsible for any related costs.

I grant GoldenStars Boxing permission to photograph or record me during Activities and to use my likeness for promotional purposes (website, social media, advertising) without compensation.

If I wish to opt out of promotional use, I will notify GoldenStars Boxing in writing at contact@goldenstarsboxing.com OR by selecting the opt-out checkbox on this waiver form.

If any part of this waiver is found unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue in full force.

This waiver is governed by the laws of Alberta and applicable laws of Canada. I agree that disputes will be resolved in Alberta.

I certify that I have read and understood this document. I understand that by signing I am giving up certain legal rights.
