Athlete Waiver

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT.

This Athlete Waiver & Release of Liability (“Agreement”) is entered into by the undersigned participant (“Participant”) in favor of GRYTR, its owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, volunteers, sponsors, affiliates, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”).

1. Acknowledgment of Risk

I understand and acknowledge that participation in the GRYTR virtual fitness race (the “Event”) involves strenuous physical activity, including but not limited to strength training, cardiovascular exercise, lifting weights, and other fitness-related movements. These activities carry inherent risks, including but not limited to:

  • Muscle strains, sprains, tears, or soreness
  • Joint injuries
  • Cardiac events
  • Dehydration or heat-related illness
  • Slips, falls, or equipment failure
  • Serious injury, permanent disability, or death

I understand that these risks may arise from my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others, environmental conditions, equipment used, or negligence of the Released Parties.

2. Voluntary Participation

I certify that I am voluntarily participating in the Event and that I am physically and mentally capable of safely completing the exercises. I acknowledge that I am solely responsible for determining my fitness level and ability to participate. I understand that GRYTR does not provide medical advice, supervision, or on-site monitoring.

I further acknowledge that I am responsible for ensuring that my workout environment (home, gym, or other location) is safe and suitable for exercise.

3. Assumption of Risk

I knowingly and freely assume all risks, known and unknown, foreseeable and unforeseeable, associated with my participation in the Event. I accept full responsibility for any injury, illness, damage, or loss that may occur as a result of my participation.

4. Release and Waiver of Liability

In consideration for being permitted to participate in the Event, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, losses, or liabilities of any kind, whether arising from negligence or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law, arising out of or related to my participation in the Event.

This release includes, but is not limited to, claims for personal injury, illness, death, property damage, or economic loss.

5. Indemnification

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to my participation in the Event or my violation of this Agreement.

6. No Professional Supervision

I acknowledge that the Event is conducted virtually and that GRYTR does not provide personal training, coaching, or medical supervision. Any workout descriptions, standards, or recommendations are provided for informational purposes only.

7. Accurate Results & Leaderboard Integrity

I agree to submit only truthful, complete, and accurate workout results, including times, repetitions, weights, and any required video or photo evidence, in accordance with GRYTR’s published standards. I acknowledge that the integrity of the GRYTR leaderboard depends on honest self-reporting.

I understand and agree that:

  • I am solely responsible for the accuracy of the results I submit.
  • Submitting false, misleading, manipulated, or incomplete results may result in disqualification, removal from the leaderboard, forfeiture of rankings, prizes, or recognition, and/or suspension or permanent ban from current and future GRYTR events.
  • GRYTR reserves the right, but has no obligation, to review, audit, verify, or request additional evidence regarding submitted results.
  • GRYTR is not responsible for errors, omissions, or discrepancies in results submitted by participants.

I further acknowledge that GRYTR makes no guarantees regarding fairness, verification, or equal conditions across participants due to the virtual nature of the Event.

8. Media Release

I grant GRYTR the right to use my name, image, likeness, video submissions, workout times, and results for promotional, marketing, leaderboard, or educational purposes without compensation, unless prohibited by law.

9. Governing Law and Venue

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which GRYTR is organized, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal action shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction within that state.

10. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

11. Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Participant and GRYTR regarding participation in the Event and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings.

12. Participant Certification

I certify that I am at least 18 years of age, or that I am the parent or legal guardian signing on behalf of a minor participant. I have read this Agreement in its entirety, fully understand its terms, and voluntarily agree to be bound by it. By participating in any GRYTR fitness race, I agree to these terms.
