Participant Agreement, Release and Assumption of Risk (The Agreement) – Flip Factory Zone

I have voluntarily elected to use and, if applicable, to allow the minor child(ren) identified above and all minor children under my supervision and referred to individually and collectively herein as "Child", to use the Flip Factory Zone facilities and equipment located at 7400 West Newberry Road, Gainesville, Florida 32605. In consideration for being allowed to use said facilities and equipment, and any other services provided by Flip Factory Zone or its employees or agents, I represent, acknowledge and agree as follows:


I acknowledge and agree that this Agreement covers and is intended to release and provide other benefits, legal protections, and consideration to Flip Factory Zone, and their respective and collective agents, owners, officers, managers, shareholders, affiliates, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their respective or collective behalf (collectively, "FFZ")


RELEASE OF POTENTIAL INJURIES

I acknowledge and agree that the use of attractions and the other equipment at Flip Factory Zone and that participating in our attractions and other activities is inherently and obviously dangerous. These risks include serious physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, damage to myself, the Child, and/or third parties, and damage to personal property of any or all such persons. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity, which I further agree is for recreational purposes and completely voluntary. I acknowledge and agree that, while the attractions and other activities that take place at Flip Factory Zone are monitored generally by Flip Factory Zone employees, it is not feasible for such employees to monitor the activities and actions of all customers at all times or all customers simultaneously. Furthermore, Flip Factory Zone employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant’s health or abilities. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.


VOLUNTARY ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I acknowledge and agree that I and the Child are participating voluntarily at our own risk. I acknowledge and agree that the actions or activities of other customers or the actions or inactions of Flip Factory Zone employees could cause me or the Child significant bodily injury (as described in this Agreement), and that Flip Factory Zone is not responsible for the actions or activities of customers using Flip Factory Zone or the negligence of its employees in supervising the Flip Factory Zone or its usage, including actions, activities, or omissions that result in such harm. Some of the risks include, but are not limited to, the following:



Participants may die or become paralyzed, partially or fully, through their use of Flip Factory Zone and participation in Flip Factory Zone activities.

Participants may suffer cuts, scrapes, bumps, bruises, concussions, the transmission of disease strains and allergic reactions through use of Flip Factory Zone equipment or contact with other participants or surfaces they have contacted. Participants may sprain, pull, break or otherwise seriously externally or internally injure their head, face (including nose and teeth/jaw), neck, torso, spine, arms, wrists, hands, legs, ankles, feet or other body parts as a result of falling off the attractions or other equipment, landing improperly or making contact with other participants. As noted in paragraph a) above, such injuries can lead to paralysis, disfigurement or death. Participation may result in heat stroke, heart attacks, dehydration and other exertion-related medical events.


AGREEMENT TO PAY MY OWN MEDICAL EXPENSES

I acknowledge, accept, and assume the risk of any and all medical conditions, limitations, or disabilities (whether temporary or permanent) that I or the Child possess, whether known or unknown, which might contribute to or exacerbate any injury I or the Child might sustain as a result of using Flip Factory Zone or any of its equipment. I acknowledge and agree that if medical assistance (of any form, including emergency care, hospitalization, out-patient care, and/or physical therapy) is required or performed as a result of any injury I or the Child sustains while using Flip Factory Zone, such assistance shall be at my own expense.


RELEASE OF LIABILITY

IThe Releasing Parties hereby forever, irrevocably and unconditionally release, waive, relinquish, discharge from liability and covenant not to sue Flip Factory Zone, and their successors, predecessors-in-interest, and insurers (collectively, the"Releasees") from any and all claims, demands, rights, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, costs, losses, charges, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, judgments and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law, equity or otherwise, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden, related to or arising, directly or indirectly, from my or the Child’s access to and/or use of Flip Factory Zone, premises and/or its equipment (whether attractions or otherwise), the Child’s and/or my entry into the Flip Factory Zone, the condition, maintenance, inspection, supervision, control or security of Flip Factory Zone, the failure to warn of dangerous conditions in connection with Flip Factory Zone, and/or the acts or omissions of Flip Factory Zone or any of the Releasees, including, without limitation, any claim for negligence, failure to warn or other omission, property damage, personal injury, emotional injury, illness, bodily harm, paralysis or death. I understand that this release and waiver applies all equipment, and all activities and games at Flip Factory Zone. I understand that this release and waiver applies to and includes all activities that I or my Child engage in at the premises, whether inside or outside Flip Factory Zone. In the event that any claim released herein is brought by, or asserted on behalf of, the Releasing Parties, I shall immediately defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees, and any of them, from any loss or liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees, associated therewith or arising therefrom.

 The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person, Droplets, Aerosolized transmission, surface transmission, fecal-oral. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing.

By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending the FFZ and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the Flip Factory Zone, LLC may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, employees, volunteers, and management and their families. 

I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I may experience or incur in connection with co-employee’s attendance at the FFZ or participation in FFZ Facility (“Claims”). On my behalf and my child(rens) I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Flip Factory Zone, LLC, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto.
