1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY RELATING TO COVID-19 AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization and remains a public health concern. COVID-19 and other infectious diseases are highly contagious and believed to spread through person-to-person contact, airborne transmission, and contact with contaminated surfaces. Federal, state, and local governments, along with health agencies, have implemented guidelines to mitigate risks, including social distancing and restrictions on gatherings.
Big Bear Ice Arena, LLC ("the Arena") has implemented preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases; however, the Arena cannot and does not guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not be exposed to or contract such diseases while present at the Arena or participating in its programs. Attendance at the Arena inherently increases the risk of exposure to infectious diseases, including but not limited to COVID-19, influenza, or other viral or bacterial infections, which may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, or death.
By agreeing to this document, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases and voluntarily assume all risks that I or my child(ren) may be exposed to or infected by such diseases while at the Arena or participating in Arena activities. I understand that such risks may arise from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself, my child(ren), Arena employees, volunteers, other participants, or third parties. I knowingly and freely accept sole responsibility for any resulting injury, illness, disability, death, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense of any kind ("Claims") that I or my child(ren) may incur in connection with attendance at or participation in Arena activities.
On behalf of myself and my child(ren), I hereby irrevocably release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Arena, its owners, managers, members, employees, agents, volunteers, affiliates, sponsors, and representatives (collectively, "Releasees"), from all Claims, including those arising from negligence or gross negligence of the Releasees, whether an infection occurs before, during, or after participation. This release includes all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or relating to such exposure or infection. I understand this waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted under Colorado law.
2. GENERAL WAIVER, RELEASE, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
In consideration of being permitted to participate in any event, league, program, or activity ("Event") sponsored or hosted by Big Bear Ice Arena, LLC, I agree as follows:
Release and Waiver of Liability
I hereby fully and irrevocably release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Big Bear Ice Arena, LLC, its owners, managers, members, employees, agents, volunteers, affiliates, sponsors, advertisers, property owners, lessors, and any other persons or entities involved in the Event (collectively, "Releasees"), from all liability for any and all loss, damage, injury (including death), or Claims arising from my or my child(ren)’s participation in the Event, whether caused by the negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law.
Assumption of Risk
I acknowledge that ice hockey and other activities at the Arena involve inherent risks, including but not limited to collisions, falls, equipment failure, ice conditions, physical exertion, and the actions or negligence of other participants, spectators, or third parties. These risks may result in serious injury, permanent disability, or death. I voluntarily assume all such risks, known and unknown, on behalf of myself and my child(ren), and accept full responsibility for any resulting consequences.
Indemnification
I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Releasees from any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs) arising from my or my child(ren)’s participation in the Event, including Claims brought by myself, my child(ren), or third parties, whether caused by the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise.
No Insurance Coverage
I understand that the Arena does not provide medical or liability insurance for participants. I am solely responsible for securing adequate insurance coverage for myself and my child(ren) and for all medical costs arising from participation.
Media Release
I grant the Arena and its affiliates perpetual, royalty-free permission to use my or my child(ren)’s likeness, voice, or image in photographs, videos, or other media captured during the Event for promotional, advertising, or other purposes in any medium, without compensation.
3. REFUND AND PAYMENT DISPUTE POLICY
Big Bear Ice Arena, LLC enforces a strict no-refund policy to ensure the stability and fairness of its leagues and programs, which are structured based on participant commitments. By registering and submitting payment, I agree to the following:
Non-Refundable Registration Fees
All registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances, including but not limited to personal schedule conflicts, injuries, relocation, dissatisfaction with the Event, or voluntary withdrawal. Once payment is made, a spot is reserved, and no refunds will be issued.
Removal for Conduct
If I or my child(ren) are removed from an Event or league due to poor conduct (on or off the ice), as determined in the Arena’s sole discretion, no refund will be issued.
Limited Exceptions
Refunds will only be issued if: (a) the Arena cannot place me or my child(ren) on a team due to insufficient enrollment, or (b) the entire season or Event is canceled by the Arena prior to commencement, in which case a full refund will be provided. In the event of a partial season cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., government mandates, facility issues), a prorated refund may be issued at the Arena’s sole discretion.
Payment Disputes
I agree not to initiate chargebacks, disputes, or claims with my financial institution regarding registration fees. Any such disputes must be resolved directly with the Arena. I acknowledge that initiating a chargeback or dispute constitutes a breach of this agreement, and I will be liable for all resulting costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the Arena in defending against such actions.
Email Communication
By registering, I consent to receive emails from the Arena regarding Events, updates, and promotions.
