In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in the United Women's Ball Hockey Foundation (UWBHF) program, related events and activities of Hockey, I understand, acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that:

1. The risk of injury from the activities involved in this program is significant, including the potential for permanent paralysis and death, and while particular rules, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and,

3. I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation in events run by UWBHF. If however, I observe any usual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the nearest UWBHF official immediately; and,

4. I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and the next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS THE UWBHF, their officers, officials, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event ("Releasees") WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
