DECLARATIONS

This Agreement is entered into between Ridge Running Co., including its owners, employees, contracted coaches, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Coach"), and the undersigned participant ("Client"). The provision of coaching services by Coach to Client, and Client's use of any premises, facilities, or equipment, are contingent upon this Agreement. Client acknowledges that program sessions may be led by Coach's contracted instructors rather than by Ridge Running Co.'s owner personally, and agrees that this Agreement applies equally to services provided by any such contracted instructor.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

You agree that if you engage in any physical exercise or activity, you do so at your own risk and assume the risk of any and all injury and/or damage you may suffer, whether while engaging in physical exercise or not. This includes injury or damage sustained while and/or resulting from using any premises or facility, or using any equipment, whether provided to you by Coach or otherwise, including injuries or damages arising out of the negligence of Coach, whether active or passive, or any of Coach's affiliates, employees, contracted instructors, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns.

Your assumption of risk includes, but is not limited to, your use of any exercise equipment (mechanical or otherwise), sports fields, roads/trails/sidewalks (public or private), parking lots, stairs, or other general areas used during program activities. You assume the risk of your participation in any activity, class, program, instruction, or event, including but not limited to walking, running (indoor or outdoor), or cross-training activities.

Group Activity Risk: You further acknowledge that this is a group program, and you assume the risk of injury arising from incidental contact with, or the actions of, other participants during group sessions, including but not limited to collisions, trips, or falls involving other participants.

You agree that you are voluntarily participating in the aforementioned activities and assume all risk of injury, illness, damage, or loss to you or your property that might result, including, without limitation, any loss or theft of any personal property, whether arising out of the negligence of Coach or otherwise.

HEALTH ACKNOWLEDGMENT

You confirm that you know of no medical condition, injury, or physical limitation that would prevent your safe participation in this program. If you are uncertain about your ability to safely participate due to a health condition, you agree to consult a physician prior to beginning the program. You agree to inform Coach of any relevant health conditions, injuries, or physical limitations that may affect your safe participation.

RELEASE

You agree on behalf of yourself (and all your personal representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, agents, and assigns) to release and discharge Coach (including Ridge Running Co., its affiliates, related entities, employees, contracted instructors, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns) from any and all claims or causes of action (known or unknown) arising out of the negligence of Coach, whether active or passive.

This waiver and release of liability includes, without limitation, injuries which may occur as a result of (a) your use of any exercise equipment or facilities which may malfunction or break, (b) improper maintenance of any exercise equipment, premises, or facilities, (c) negligent instruction or supervision, including coaching by a contracted instructor, (d) traveling to or from program session(s), or (e) incidental contact with other participants during group activities.

INDEMNIFICATION

By execution of this agreement, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Coach from any loss, liability, damage, or cost Coach may incur due to the provision of coaching services to you.

PHOTO/VIDEO RELEASE

You grant Ridge Running Co. permission to photograph and/or video record you during group runs, virtual coaching calls, and other program activities, and to use those photos and videos in marketing materials, including but not limited to social media, the Ridge Running Co. website, and promotional content, without compensation to you. If you prefer not to be photographed or featured, please notify Coach in writing before your first session, and reasonable efforts will be made to exclude you from promotional use.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

You expressly agree that the foregoing release, waiver, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the law in the State of Oregon and California, and that if any portion is held invalid, the balance of this waiver will continue in full legal force and effect. You acknowledge that Coach offers a service to their clients encompassing the recreational, sporting, and fitness spectrum. This release is not intended as an attempted release of claims of gross negligence or intentional acts.

You acknowledge that you have carefully read this waiver and release and fully understand that it is a release of liability, express assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement. You are aware and agree that by executing this waiver, you are giving up your right to bring a legal action or assert a claim against Coach for Coach's negligence, or for any defective product used while receiving coaching services from Coach. You have read and voluntarily signed this waiver and further agree that no oral representations, statements, or inducements apart from this written agreement have been made.

ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE

You agree that your electronic signature, executed through the Final Surge platform, carries the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature, and that your registration for this program, including the name, phone number, and emergency contact information you provide during sign-up, is incorporated into and made part of this Agreement.
