1. ELIGIBILITY
Participation in the Match Point League is limited to individuals 18 years of age or older. By accepting this Agreement, I represent that I am at least 18 years old and legally competent to enter into this Agreement.
2. VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I understand that tennis is a physical sport that involves inherent risks, including but not limited to: muscle strains, sprains, fractures, falls, collisions, cardiovascular events, dehydration, heat-related illness, exposure to weather conditions, and travel to and from match venues. I understand that matches are played outdoors in Florida, where high heat, humidity and sudden weather changes are common. I voluntarily choose to participate and I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, even if arising from the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties, and I assume full responsibility for my participation.
3. RELEASE OF LIABILITY
In consideration of being permitted to participate, I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS Ultimate Tennis USA LLC, the Match Point League, its owners, founders, directors, officers, employees, contractors, volunteers, sponsors and partner venues (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, injuries, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or related to my participation in League activities, INCLUDING THOSE ARISING FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, to the fullest extent permitted by law. This release does not extend to claims arising from gross negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct.
4. INDEMNIFICATION
I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claims brought by third parties arising out of my acts or omissions during my participation in League activities.
5. VENUES AND COURTS
I understand that League matches are played at courts selected and agreed upon by the players, and that the League does not own, operate, inspect or control such venues. I assume all risks related to the condition of the courts and facilities where I choose to play.
6. PHYSICAL CONDITION, MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION AND INSURANCE
I represent that I am physically fit to participate in competitive tennis and have no medical condition that would make my participation unsafe. I am solely responsible for monitoring my own physical condition during play, including hydration and heat management. I understand that the League does not provide medical, health or accident insurance of any kind, and I am solely responsible for maintaining my own insurance coverage. In the event of a medical emergency, I authorize the Released Parties and other participants to call for emergency medical services on my behalf, and I accept financial responsibility for any medical treatment provided to me.
7. IMAGE AND MEDIA RELEASE
I grant the League the irrevocable right to photograph, film and record my participation in League activities and events, and to use such images and recordings, including my name, in League communications, social media, websites and promotional materials, without compensation. I may opt out of promotional use (except incidental appearance in group/event coverage) by written notice to support@matchpointleague.com.
8. RULES AND CODE OF CONDUCT
I agree to abide by the Match Point League Official Player Handbook, including its scheduling rules, point system, sportsmanship standards and the Conduct Scale, and by the USTA's "The Code" for self-officiated play. I understand that violations may result in warnings, point penalties, suspension or removal from the League without refund.
9. FEES AND REFUND POLICY
I acknowledge the registration fee of $59 per season and the League's refund policy: full refund up to 7 days before Round 1; no refunds after the season starts, except documented injury cases, which receive credit for the following season.
10. ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE
I agree that my electronic acceptance of this Agreement through the League platform constitutes a legal and binding signature under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) and the Florida Uniform Electronic Transaction Act, with the same force and effect as a handwritten signature.
11. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, Florida.
12. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
13. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING MY RIGHT TO SUE. I ACCEPT IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.
