HSPD Participant Waiver 2013 (3) (1) (PDF)

PARTICIPANT WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND LIABILITY RELEASE
In consideration of his acceptance as a participant in the National Football League’s High School Player Development Program (the “Program”) held by the
National Football League Foundation (“Foundation”), the undersigned participant (“Participant”) and his parent(s) or legal guardian(s) agree to this Participant
Waiver of Claims and Liability Release (the “Waiver and Release”), which will cover events occurring from the time Participant commences his participation in the
Program until the termination of his participation therein.
It is the intent of the undersigned Participant and his parent(s) or legal guardian(s) (collectively, “we”) to release Foundation; the National Football League
(“NFL”) and its professional football member clubs; NFL Ventures, Inc., NFL Ventures, L.P. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries; and each of their respective
affiliates, officers, directors, agents, sponsors (including but not limited to the National Guard) and employees (collectively, the “NFL Entities”) from any claims or
liability to the fullest extent possible under the law. As such, the undersigned Participant and parent(s) or legal guardian(s) hereby agree as follows:
1.

WE UNDERSTAND AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROGRAM (AND/OR THE GAME OF CONTACT FOOTBALL)
PRESENTS THE INHERENT RISK OF SERIOUS BODILY INJURY. OUR WAIVER AND RENUNCIATION OF CLAIMS HEREIN
EXPRESSLY APPLY TO ANY BODILY INJURY, DAMAGE, OR ACCIDENT THAT MAY BE SUFFERED BY PARTICIPANT OR
OTHERS RESULTING FROM PARTICIPANT’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM (AND/OR THE GAME OF FOOTBALL).

2.

We hereby waive, release and otherwise hold harmless the NFL Entities from any and all liability for injury or other claims which may arise from
Participant’s participation in the Program, including without limitation any claims based on negligence, for any injury to Participant or others, or any
other loss, damage, sickness, accident, delay, or expenses of any kind whatsoever resulting from Participant’s participation in the Program.

3.

We further agree to waive, release and otherwise hold harmless the NFL Entities from any and all claims arising out of use of the equipment or
clothing supplied to Participant for use in the Program, or the equipment or other materials used by Program staff in implementing the Program.

4.

We understand and acknowledge that the NFL Entities do not guarantee the security or safety of Program sites, of the areas adjacent to and surrounding
Program sites, or of any areas Participants may traverse on their way to or from Program sites. We agree to waive, release and otherwise hold harmless
the NFL Entities from any and all claims arising out of accidents or events caused by a Participant or third parties not associated with the Program,
which incidents could occur on Program sites, in areas adjacent to or surrounding Program sites, or in areas traversed by Participants traveling to our
Program sites. We further release the NFL Entities from liability for any damage or injury that may occur as a result of the surface or condition of the
Program site itself (e.g., the football playing field), or the condition of facilities or equipment used at the site.

5.

We recognize that Participant must obey the instructions of the Program staff. We understand and acknowledge that the Program staff and Foundation
representatives each reserve the right to terminate the participation in the Program of any Participant whose conduct may be considered by such person,
in either’s sole discretion, to be detrimental to or incompatible with the interests and security of the Program or any NFL Entity. In the event of any
such action, we understand and acknowledge that we will have no right to any compensation or damages from any NFL Entity.

6.

We represent and confirm that Participant has undergone, or will undergo prior to commencement of Participant’s participation in the Program, a full
and comprehensive physical examination administered by a Board-certified physician who will supply to Foundation or its designated representative a
letter certifying, on the basis of aforementioned physical examination, that Participant is physically fit to play the game of full-contact football and
otherwise to participate in the Program. We further confirm that Participant has executed, or will execute prior to commencement of his participation
in the Program, the “Medical Form” provided to me at the time of Participant’s registration for the Program (or such other school physical as may be
reasonably acceptable to Foundation).

7.

We further understand that should any medical services be provided or made available to Participant in connection with his participation in the
Program, the provision or availability of which the NFL Entities do not sponsor or guarantee, the NFL Entities do not warrant or make any
representation concerning the adequacy or continuation of such medical services, nor can the NFL Entities be deemed responsible or held liable for any
claims arising out of the provision of such medical services or the failure to provide or to continue to provide such medical services. We also
understand that the NFL Entities cannot be held liable for any other services provided herein, including without limitation any coaching, counseling,
transportation, or security services. Any core course recommendation made by any member associated with the Program is simply a recommendation
and is ultimately subject to the rules of the NCAA, as the qualifying agent.
We hereby grant the NFL Entities, the NFL’s business partners and their respective designees the right to use, without limitation, Participant’s name,

8.

image, likeness, photograph, and biographical material throughout the world in any and all media, now known or hereby created, in connection with
promoting or publicizing the Program or any other endeavor.
9.

If any portion of this Waiver and Release is declared invalid or unenforceable by a final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, we hereby
agree that such determination shall not affect the balance of this Waiver and Release, but this Waiver and Release shall remain in full force and effect,
as such invalid portion shall be deemed severable.

10.

(For California Residents Only) We hereby expressly waive all rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and under any
and all similar laws of any jurisdiction. We are aware that said Section 1542 of the Civil Code provides as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH TH E CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN
HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED
HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
