NEXO BOXING & PERFORMANCE

PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT & RISK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

Welcome to NEXO Boxing & Performance. Our aim is to provide a positive, professionally coached environment where people can improve their boxing, fitness and physical capability safely and confidently. Like all sport and physical exercise, however, boxing and fitness training involve some risk of injury. This agreement explains those risks, your responsibilities as a participant and the basis on which you choose to take part. Please read it before signing.

⸻ PARTICIPATION I understand that activities at NEXO Boxing & Performance may include: boxing coaching and instruction, pad work, bag work, partner drills, technical drills, sparring and contact drills where appropriate, strength and conditioning, resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, mobility work and use of boxing and gym equipment. I understand that I am responsible for participating at a level appropriate to my ability and informing a coach if I do not understand an exercise, feel unable to perform it safely or wish to stop.

⸻ UNDERSTANDING THE RISKS I understand that boxing, exercise and physical training involve inherent risks that cannot be completely eliminated, even where appropriate coaching, supervision and safety precautions are provided. Possible injuries include bruises, cuts, strains, sprains, fractures, joint or soft-tissue injuries and injuries caused by falls, equipment or contact with another participant. More serious injuries can also occur. Where I participate in sparring or other contact boxing, I understand that this may involve intentionally or accidentally being struck to the head or body and carries additional risks including facial or dental injury, concussion and other head injury. I understand that protective equipment, appropriate matching, coaching and supervision can reduce these risks but cannot remove them completely. In rare circumstances, participation in strenuous physical activity or combat sport may result in serious or permanent injury or death.

⸻ SPARRING AND CONTACT TRAINING I understand that I will not be required to spar simply because I train at NEXO. I will participate in sparring or contact training only where I choose to do so and where a NEXO coach considers it appropriate. I understand that NEXO may prevent or stop me from sparring or participating in another activity where a coach reasonably considers this necessary for my safety or the safety of another participant. I may also stop participating at any time.

⸻ MY RESPONSIBILITIES I agree to: * follow reasonable coaching and safety instructions; * use equipment appropriately; * behave responsibly towards other participants; * tell a coach about an injury, illness or physical limitation that may affect my ability to train safely; * tell a coach immediately if I experience dizziness, confusion, unusual pain, breathing difficulty or symptoms that may indicate concussion; * not participate while impaired by alcohol or recreational drugs; and * stop training and seek assistance if I believe I cannot safely continue.

⸻ HEALTH AND MEDICAL FITNESS To the best of my knowledge, I am physically capable of participating in the activities I choose to undertake. I understand that NEXO coaches are not medical practitioners and are not providing medical advice. If I have concerns about whether a medical condition, previous injury or other health issue may affect my ability to participate safely, I understand that I should obtain appropriate medical advice. I agree to inform NEXO of any relevant medical condition, injury or limitation that I know may materially affect my safe participation.

⸻ ACCEPTANCE OF RISK I voluntarily choose to participate in the activities provided by NEXO Boxing & Performance. Having read this agreement, I acknowledge and accept the inherent and obvious risks associated with the activities in which I choose to participate. I understand that some injuries may occur despite reasonable care, appropriate coaching and safety precautions. Where applicable, I acknowledge the operation of Queensland laws relating to inherent risks and obvious risks associated with recreational activities.

⸻ RECREATIONAL SERVICES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY I understand that services supplied by NEXO Boxing & Performance include recreational services within the meaning of Australian law, including participation in sporting activities and activities involving significant physical exertion or physical risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, including section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), I agree that any applicable consumer guarantee in relation to the supply of recreational services may be excluded, restricted or modified to the extent permitted by law in relation to: * death; * physical or mental injury, including the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of an injury; * the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease; or * another condition, circumstance or occurrence causing harm or disadvantage of the kind permitted to be excluded under applicable law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, I release NEXO Boxing & Performance and its owners, employees, coaches and contractors from liability arising from risks associated with my voluntary participation where that liability may lawfully be excluded. Nothing in this agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any right, consumer guarantee, remedy or liability that cannot legally be excluded, restricted or modified. This agreement does not operate beyond the extent permitted by Australian or Queensland law.

⸻ EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE If I become injured or unwell while participating and NEXO reasonably considers assistance necessary, I authorise NEXO to provide or arrange appropriate first aid and, where reasonably required, contact my emergency contact or emergency services. I understand that I am responsible for ambulance or medical expenses incurred on my behalf except where the law provides otherwise.

⸻ PERSONAL PROPERTY I am responsible for my personal belongings while attending NEXO. To the extent permitted by law, NEXO is not responsible for the loss, theft or damage of personal property.

⸻ ACKNOWLEDGEMENT By signing below, I confirm that: I have read and understood this Participation Agreement and Risk Acknowledgement. I understand the nature of the activities offered at NEXO and the risks associated with the activities in which I choose to participate. I understand the particular additional risks associated with sparring and contact boxing. I voluntarily choose to participate and accept the inherent and obvious risks associated with that participation. I agree to follow reasonable instructions given by NEXO coaches and staff. I understand that this agreement affects my legal rights and agree to its terms to the maximum extent permitted by law.
