Membership Card.  I understand that I must present my membership card in order to be admitted to The Club and to use The Club Facilities.  If my membership card is lost or stolen, I agree to pay the cost of replacement at the time my card is lost or stolen.  Additionally, if an unauthorized person uses my card, I will be liable for any loss or damage resulting from such unauthorized use.

Acknowledgment of Risk of Use. I understand that:  (a) use of The Club Facilities involves the risk of personal injury and death from drowning in the Pools and Spas, falling free weights, use of exercise equipment, strained muscles, ruptures, fractures and other injuries associated with physical exercise and training, loss of footing, and other causes, even when The Club Facilities are properly used and supervised; (b) the risk is greater when The Club Facilities are misused, and when minors use The Club Facilities without adult supervision; (c) there are minors who have been authorized to use The Club Facilities without adult supervision; (d) there may be no lifeguards on duty at the Pools and Spas and no adult supervision at the Fitness Center; and (e) even if The Club does have adult staff present unless advance arrangements have been made, such staff members shall not be responsible to instruct or supervise anyone using The Club Facilities or in the use of any apparatus or equipment located therein.

Assumption of Risk; Waiver; Release.  By signing this Receipt, I intentionally and unconditionally assume the full risk of injury and death to me, to members of my family, and to each and every one of my guests, employees and invitees to The Club (individually and collectively, "Member Users"), which may result from the use of The Club Facilities, whether from the use of any Pool, Spa, apparatus, appliance, equipment or facility, from any contest, game, function, or from any other activity operated, organized, arranged or sponsored by The Club or others (individually and collectively, "Club Use"), irrespective of whether or not any Member Users participated in the Club Use which resulted in injury or death.

On my own behalf, and on behalf of each and every Member User:  I hereby waive the right to bring any "claims" against the Club Director (the on-site manager at The Club), The Club Operator, the owner of The Club, and the Master Association, and their respective officers, partners, agents, employees, affiliates, directors and attorneys (collectively, "Released Parties") as a result of Club Use; and I hereby release and discharge the Released Parties from any and all "claims" I or any other Member User may have, now or in the future, which are in any way related to any Club Use.  "Claims" shall include, but shall not be limited to, all rights, remedies, actions, injury, claims, loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which I or any other Member User may have as the result of any act, occurrence, error, accident, omission, promise or obligation of any one or more of the Released Parties; and the releases in this paragraph are given by such person, on his or her own behalf and on behalf of his or her successors in interest, heirs and assigns.

If I am a Tenant or Contract Purchaser Member, or a Member User by reason of my relationship to a Tenant or Contract Purchaser Member, "Claims" also include all rights, remedies, actions, injury, claims, loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which I or any other Member User may have as a result of the suspension or termination of the right to use The Club Facilities as a result of any one or more of the following:  (a) the failure of the Owner of the Property to pay Club Charges or perform such Owner's other obligations; (b) notice to The Club Operator that my rights, or the rights of the Tenant or Contract Purchaser with whom I have a relationship, have terminated; or (c) the instructions of the Owner of the Property with respect to my rights, or the rights of the Tenant or Contract Purchaser with whom I have a relationship, to use The Club Facilities.

Indemnification.  I agree to be liable for any and all injury to persons and property at The Club and for any and all injury to persons and property resulting from any Club Use, which is caused by me or any other Member User.  In addition, I will defend, indemnify, and hold each and every one of the Released Parties harmless from and against any and all Claims incurred by or asserted against any of the Released Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct, indirect, or consequential, as a result of or in any way related to the use of The Club or participation in Club Use by me or any other Member User.

Attorneys' Fees.  In the event of any action or proceeding brought to enforce any one or more of this Consent, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees, and court costs and expenses, both at trial and upon appeal, in addition to all other appropriate relief.

Failure to abide by the Rules and Regulations of The Clubhouse at Blackstone, as they may be modified from time to time, may result in suspension of your membership and other disciplinary action.  If your membership is suspended, you must still pay all Club Charges.
