Liability statement

Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) training involves physical contact with weapons and other participants. Injuries can occur even when proper equipment is worn and safety rules are followed.

By checking the liability box on the registration / profile page you confirm that:

• You participate in Club trainings, sparring and events voluntarily and at your own risk.
• You are physically fit for vigorous physical activity, or you have consulted a doctor and accept the responsibility of doing so.
• You will wear and maintain the protective equipment required for each activity.
• You will follow the safety rules and the instructors' directions during every session.
• You are 18 years of age or older, and therefore legally responsible for yourself; or
• You are under 18 years of age, in which case your legal guardian has consented to your participation in the Club's trainings and has already submitted a written declaration of consent to the instructors to this effect.
• Neither the Club, its instructors, nor other members are liable for injuries, loss or damage to property arising from your participation, except in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

I acknowledge that participating in training involves physical exertion and a potential risk of injury. In order to protect my own physical integrity, I will use appropriate protective equipment and will follow the instructor's directions at all times. Neither the association nor the instructor is liable for injuries or accidents arising from my own fault or risk-taking.

During practice and sparring I will do everything I can to protect my partner's and my own physical integrity. I will observe the safety regulations and the rules for using equipment. I take responsibility for the personal and borrowed equipment I use. Before each training session I make sure that it can be used safely.

I am required to use borrowed equipment for its intended purpose and to compensate for any damage caused to it that is not the result of intended use.

I declare that my state of health permits me to participate in training, and that I have no illness or limitation that would, during participation in training, pose a danger to myself or to others.

If you do not agree to these terms, please do not check the liability box and do not take part in the Club's training activities.
