I hereby enter into the following agreement with Special Olympics, Inc. and/or Special Olympics Nevada, with its principal place of business in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well for each its members, officers, employees, agents, volunteers, and representatives (individually and collectively, “Special Olympics”), as a condition of receiving and using Special Olympics’ online fitness, sports, leadership and inclusion programming services, including fundraising activities.

1. I acknowledge and fully understand that Special Olympics will endeavor to provide the most effective principles to help achieve my fitness, performance, and personal goals, but that Special Olympics cannot guarantee that any services, products, programs, methods, workouts, recommendations, or routines will be safe, effective or suitable for everyone. All such products and services, programs, techniques, recommendations, and materials embodied in such products and services are offered without warranties or guarantees of any kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, warranties of safety or fitness for any particular purpose. Further, I hereby waive, release, and discharge Special Olympics from any and all liability from death, injuries or damages arising from, or in any way connected with, use of any or all of its services, products, programs, methods, workouts, recommendations, or routines, including any viral infections, bacterial infections and other communicable diseases and illnesses, death, injuries or damages resulting from the negligent recommendations, acts, or omissions of Special Olympics, no matter where those injuries occur.

2. I acknowledge and fully understand that any fitness or exercise activities, and the use of training and fitness equipment and machinery, involve risks of serious injury, permanent disability, or death, even if done correctly and with the utmost attention to safety.

I further acknowledge and fully understand that all of the foregoing risks are especially pronounced in an online programming setting, such as that embodied by the fitness and performance programming services provided by Special Olympics because I will necessarily be engaging in fitness or exercise activities on my own, without real-time supervision by Special Olympics, in a facility or location over which Special Olympics has no control. I hereby acknowledge and accept the foregoing risks and dangers. Further, I hereby waive, release, and discharge Special Olympics from any and all liability from death, injuries or damages arising from, or in any way connected with, Special Olympics’ fitness and performance programming services; Special Olympics’ instruction, programming, advice or recommendations; the use of any exercises, routines, equipment or machinery, whether or not they were recommended by Special Olympics; or my engagement in any fitness or exercise activities, including any death, injuries or damages resulting from the negligent recommendations, acts, or omissions of Special Olympics, or from viral infections, bacterial infections and other communicable diseases and illnesses, no matter where those injuries occur.

4. I understand that a physician’s approval is highly recommended prior to participating in any type of fitness or exercise activity, and I hereby represent that I have either obtained a signed approval from my physician, or that I acknowledge the risks inherent in such activities but have elected to engage in said activities without seeking prior approval by a physician.

If any sentence, clause, phrase, or term of any section of this agreement is deemed invalid, the remainder of that section shall remain in full force and effect.

6.

This agreement shall be governed by Nevada or District of Columbia law, irrespective of any choice-of-law principles. The parties’ legal rights and obligations relating to this agreement and relating to the programming and services provided under this agreement shall be governed by Nevada or District of Columbia law, irrespective of any choice-of-law principles.
