PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY

USDBF Level 1 Community Coaching Certification – Boundary Waters Paddle Sports, Georgetown, SC

Please read carefully. By checking the box below and submitting this registration, you are giving up certain legal rights, including the right to sue.

1. Voluntary Participation. I am voluntarily enrolling in this self-directed online course, optional coaching calls, and community group (the "Program"). I control when, where, and how I practice any skills, drills, or physical activities it describes.

2. Assumption of Risk. I understand that dragon boat paddling, coaching, and related training involve inherent risks, including muscle strains, sprains, overuse injuries, falls, capsizing, immersion in open water, drowning, exposure to weather and sun, collisions, and injuries caused by other participants. These risks exist whether I am practicing alone, coaching others, or applying Program content on the water. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the Released Parties named below.

3. Physical Condition. I confirm that I am physically able to participate in the activities described, or that I will consult a physician first. I will stop any activity that causes pain or feels unsafe. Nothing in the Program is medical, nutritional, or psychological advice.

4. Safety Responsibilities. When applying Program content on the water, I will follow all applicable laws and the safety rules of my club, venue, and governing body, including wearing a personal flotation device where required and ensuring appropriate supervision and rescue capability. I, not BWPS, am responsible for the safety of any athletes I coach.

5. Release of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release, waive, and discharge Boundary Waters Paddle Sports, Fit Pro Essentials, Inc., and their owners, coaches, employees, contractors, and volunteers (the "Released Parties") from any and all claims arising out of my participation in the Program or my use of its content, including claims arising from the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties.

6. Indemnification. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any loss, liability, damage, or cost, including attorney's fees, arising from my participation in the Program, my coaching of others using Program content, or any third-party claim related to my conduct.

7. Certification and USDBF. BWPS delivers the course content; certification requirements, issuance, and recognition are governed by the United States Dragon Boat Federation (USDBF). Completion does not guarantee certification or any coaching position. I agree to abide by the USDBF Code of Conduct and applicable SafeSport requirements when coaching.

8. Materials. Program materials are for my personal coaching use and may not be copied, resold, or redistributed without written permission.

9. Refunds. The Program is a digital product. Access begins upon payment and refunds are governed by the refund policy published at the time of purchase.

10. Governing Law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina. If any part is found unenforceable, the remaining parts remain in effect.

11. Electronic Signature. Checking the agreement box and submitting this form is my electronic signature and has the same effect as a handwritten signature. If I am under 18, a parent or legal guardian is completing this registration on my behalf and agrees to these terms.

I have read and agree to the USDBF Level 1 Participant Agreement, Assumption of Risk, and Release of Liability above. I understand that I am assuming the risks of paddling and coaching activities and releasing Boundary Waters Paddle Sports from liability as described, and that checking this box is my electronic signature.
