In consideration of Century Cricket permitting Participant to enter the Premises and participate in the Activities, as defined below, including any of those Activities that may occur in, on, about, or near a Century Cricket facility located in Houston, Texas (the "Premises") or any other premises wherever located, Participant agrees as follows:
Century Cricket is a cricket sports training facility that allows Participants the opportunity to participate actively or passively, in some or all of the following activities: batting, bowling, running, gym exercises such as weight training and cardio; use of any equipment or attractions; instruction; training; classes; observation; use of the locker room area; use of any portion of the Premises, including, but not limited to, the associated sidewalks and parking lots; and any competition, event, or program sponsored by or affiliated with the Protected Parties as defined here (collectively, "Activities"). These Activities can provide benefits, including pleasure, improved physical fitness, increased energy, and other health and ancillary benefits. It is important that the Participants know that the Activities are active and vigorous and, consequently, involve some risks of injury that are inherent to the activity. Even though Century Cricket: (a) has designed the facility with safety in mind; (b) provides instruction in some Activities; (c) provides general supervision of Activities; and (d) has developed rules and policies that focus on safety, it is impossible to eliminate all risk and possibility of injury.
Participant acknowledges there are inherent risks in and injuries that may occur from participating in the Activities, including, but not limited to, equipment malfunction; defective design or manufacture of equipment; improper or negligent installation of equipment; negligent maintenance of equipment; cuts; bruises; muscle strain; twisted or sprained ankles, knees, shoulders, or wrists; burns; dirt or other materials in eye; concussions; broken bones; physical or emotional injuries; over-exertion; collisions with other participants; erratic co-participant behavior; collisions with standards and supports; using improper form or technique; slipping, falling, or tripping; equipment failure; error of judgment by employees; paralysis, disability, or death; personal injury to third persons; or property damage. Participant's participation in the Activities supplied by Century Cricket is inherently dangerous and may involve risk. There are risks specifically associated with participation in the Activities, including but not limited to being hit by a cricket bat or ball, including being hit in the head by a bat or ball, falling or tripping over a cricket ball, becoming entangled in the cricket nets, or colliding with other participants, and accidents can and often do happen which may result in personal injury, death or property damage. Prior to undertaking any such Activities, Participant should ensure Participant is aware of all the risks involved, including those risks associated with any health condition Participant may have. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, Participant acknowledges, agrees, and understands that participation in the Activities provided by Century Cricket may involve risk. Participant agrees and undertakes any such risk voluntarily and at Participant's own risk. Participant will not participate in the Activities while intoxicated or affected by drugs. Participant acknowledges that the assumption of risk and warning above constitutes a 'risk warning' in accordance with relevant legislation. Due to the nature of the Activities, there are more hazards and risks than the foregoing, and there are also unknown and unforeseeable hazards. If you have any questions, please contact a manager before purchasing admission.
By entering the Premises or when engaging in the Activities, there is a risk of exposure to bacteria, fungus, viruses, unknown contagious diseases and COVID-19, which notwithstanding governmental recommendations and the practices of Century Cricket, cannot be eliminated.

Examples of serious injuries are broken bones, ligament and joint injuries, concussions, and eye injuries. The third type of injury is the catastrophic injury.

PARTICIPANT ON HIS/HER OWN BEHALF AND AS THE PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF THE CHILD PARTICIPANT(S), ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE/SHE IS AWARE OF, AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES, ALL SUCH RISKS.
