6. Participant Risk Acknowledgment and Liability Waiver

Published legal document
Publication status: published
Version: 1.1-beta.1
Effective date: August 23, 2026

This Acknowledgment and Waiver becomes effective on the publication date shown above and applies when an adult uses PlayGoOn to discover, create, join, organize, train for, coach, or participate in a sport, lesson, game, group, tournament, or other in-person activity (“Activity”). It concerns physical participation in or coaching of an Activity. Completing a Trainer application, submitting qualification evidence, or undergoing application review is not itself an Activity and does not by itself cause the applicant to assume sports risks or release claims unrelated to a later Activity.

PlayGoOn may require separate acceptance of this document during Trainer onboarding as a condition of submitting an application, but that timing does not expand the risks assumed or claims released. A participant or Trainer must have accepted it through a separate, conspicuous, affirmative action before participating in or coaching an affected Activity through the Service.

The “PlayGoOn Released Parties” are Interwebx LLC, operator of PlayGoOn, and its owners, directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and affiliates, but only when they are acting for Interwebx LLC in operating or providing PlayGoOn. Independent Trainers, Clubs, organizers, facilities, and participants are not PlayGoOn Released Parties merely because they use the Service or have another relationship with PlayGoOn. This document does not release those independent parties from claims based on their own conduct.

1. Voluntary participation and platform role

I choose to participate voluntarily. I understand that PlayGoOn is a technology platform and, unless a specific written statement says otherwise, does not act as the Activity organizer, Trainer, facility operator, medical provider, or safety supervisor. PlayGoOn does not own or operate the facility, supervise the Activity, select or control participants, provide medical care, inspect facilities or equipment, or continuously monitor Activities. PlayGoOn does not perform criminal background checks for the initial beta. Qualification review, Trainer approval, a profile, a badge, or a credential notation is not an identity verification, background check, safety certification, or guarantee of competence. PlayGoOn does not guarantee that any user, credential, listing, facility, equipment, or Activity is safe, accurate, qualified, available, suitable, or free from risk.

Clubs, Trainers, organizers, facilities, and participants remain responsible for Activity safety and their respective duties and obligations.

2. Inherent and other risks

I understand that sports, exercise, coaching, travel, facilities, equipment, weather, and interaction with other people involve known and unknown risks. Without limiting other reasonably foreseeable risks, these may include falls; collisions; contact with people or objects; overexertion; dehydration; heat or cold illness; cardiac or other medical events; strains; fractures; concussion; improper or unsuitable instruction, exercise selection, or spotting; differences in participant skill or conduct; defective, misused, or poorly maintained equipment; unsafe or changing surfaces and facility conditions; weather; negligent acts of participants or third parties; communicable illness; theft; transportation incidents; permanent disability; and death.

Listing a risk here does not release an independent Trainer, Club, organizer, facility, participant, or other third party from liability for that party’s own conduct.

3. Health and safety responsibility

I am responsible for determining whether I am physically and medically able to participate, assessing the equipment, environment, and Activity conditions that are reasonably apparent to me, and obtaining professional medical advice when appropriate. I will use suitable equipment; follow applicable organizer, Trainer, Club, facility, and safety rules; disclose relevant limitations to the appropriate organizer or Trainer when necessary for safety; stop if conditions are unsafe; and seek emergency assistance when needed.

4. Assumption of inherent risk

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I knowingly and voluntarily assume the inherent risks of the Activity and other risks that are reasonably apparent or specifically disclosed to me. This assumption applies to participating in or coaching an Activity, not to the Trainer application process standing alone. It does not transfer to me a legal duty that applicable law places on a PlayGoOn Released Party and does not waive a right that applicable law does not permit me to waive.

5. Important: release of specified claims involving PlayGoOn’s ordinary negligence

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I release the PlayGoOn Released Parties from claims for bodily injury, death, or property damage arising from my voluntary participation in or coaching of an Activity when those claims are caused by ordinary negligence of a PlayGoOn Released Party in providing or failing to provide PlayGoOn platform features used to discover, communicate about, organize, schedule, map, or otherwise facilitate that Activity.

This release includes such Activity-related ordinary-negligence claims alleging that a PlayGoOn Released Party failed to use reasonable care in providing those platform features, provided inaccurate or incomplete information through them, or failed to warn about an Activity risk actually known to that Released Party. It does not release claims based only on processing a Trainer application, qualification evidence, or legal acceptance; privacy or data-security events; payment processing; intellectual-property disputes; or conduct outside PlayGoOn’s platform facilitation of an Activity.

This limited release does not apply to gross negligence, reckless conduct, willful or intentional misconduct, fraud, a statutory right that cannot be waived, or any liability that applicable law does not permit a participant to release. It does not release an independent Trainer, Club, organizer, facility, or participant from claims based on that party’s own conduct.

This document does not require me to indemnify or reimburse a PlayGoOn Released Party for another person’s claim and does not create a covenant promising that I will never file a lawsuit. This release may be asserted as a defense to a released claim. It does not promise that the waiver will be enforceable in every circumstance, does not mean that PlayGoOn can never be sued, and does not prevent a participant from filing a claim or asking a court to determine the provision’s scope or enforceability. A court, not PlayGoOn, determines whether and to what extent this waiver applies.

6. Emergency care

I understand that another person may contact local emergency services if an emergency occurs. This section does not authorize medical treatment, appoint a medical decision-maker, promise that anyone will contact or monitor emergency services, or shift medical or emergency-response costs. PlayGoOn does not provide emergency response, active emergency monitoring, or medical services, and I must not rely on the Service for urgent assistance. Nothing in this section excuses a legal duty that applicable law does not permit a party to disclaim.

7. Adults-only confirmation

I confirm that I am at least 18 years old and have reached the age of legal majority where I live. Minor accounts and youth participation are not supported. A parent or guardian may not accept this document for a minor.

8. Separate electronic acknowledgment

I must be shown the complete version presented to me, including the conspicuous release heading and ordinary-negligence language above, and take a separate, affirmative action confirming that I had an opportunity to read it, understand that it affects legal rights, and accept it voluntarily before using the affected feature. The acceptance control must not be preselected or bundled with acceptance of another PlayGoOn document.

The displayed acknowledgment must state: “I have read and voluntarily accept the Participant Risk Acknowledgment and Liability Waiver, including its release of the specified claims involving PlayGoOn’s ordinary negligence.”

PlayGoOn records the accepting user, participant or Trainer context, policy ID, immutable version, content hash, effective date, time of acceptance, displayed acknowledgment, affirmative action, application version, and applicable superseded or withdrawn status. If acceptance is Activity-specific, the record may also include the Activity ID. The Privacy Policy describes retention and related processing.

9. Governing law, venue, and contact

Florida law applies. Subject to rights that applicable law does not permit a participant to waive, exclusive jurisdiction and venue are in the appropriate Florida state courts serving Pasco County, Florida, or the United States federal courts serving Pasco County, Florida, consistent with the Terms of Service. This document does not require arbitration.
