Thursday 31 December

I understand that tennis is a physical activity that carries a risk of injury, including strains, sprains, falls, being struck by a ball or racquet, and illness from heat or sun. I know my own fitness and physical limitations, and I agree to assume the risk of using the Park Hyatt Melbourne rooftop tennis court and of taking part in any tennis lesson.

If I have a medical condition, injury or allergy, or take medication that may be affected by exercise, I will tell my coach before the session. It is my own decision to play. If I feel pain, dizziness or discomfort at any time, I will stop playing and tell my coach or a member of hotel staff.

I understand that Park Hyatt Melbourne and the coaches make no evaluation or recommendation, and I will not take any statement or action as an evaluation or recommendation, as to whether I am physically fit to play. I am aware that it is always advisable to consult a doctor before starting a physical activity.

I will wear non-marking tennis shoes and suitable sportswear, follow any instructions from my coach or hotel staff, and use the court only during my booked time. Anyone under 18 must have a parent or guardian accept these conditions on their behalf, and children must be supervised by an adult when not in a lesson.

I hereby release Hyatt Corporation, its parent and subsidiaries, officers, directors, agents, affiliates, employees, the owner of the Hotel and each of them (collectively, “Hyatt”), and Sphere Tennis and its coaches, from any and all claims, damages, demands, rights or causes of action, present or future, known or unknown, unanticipated, arising out of or in any manner resulting from the use of the tennis court, tennis lessons or coaching, or equipment hired at the Hotel, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, demands, rights or causes of action resulting from or arising out of the negligence of Hyatt, Sphere Tennis, a coach or any employee or agent of Hyatt. Further, I hereby agree to waive any and all of such claims, damages, demands, rights or causes of action. Such Release and Waiver is to be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns.

Further, I hereby agree to release and discharge Hyatt and Sphere Tennis from any and all liability for any loss or theft of, or damage to, personal property.

I acknowledge that I have carefully read this waiver and release and fully understand its implications.
