SKATING IN THE SQUARE CAN BE HAZARDOUS; ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE REMINDED THAT THEY SKATE AT THEIR OWN RISK. BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT, I UNDERSTAND THAT SKATING IN THE SQUARE EXCLUDES ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY, ANY INJURY TO PARTICIPANTS HOWEVER CAUSED, BUT DOES NOT EXCLUDE LIABILITY WHERE DEATH OR INJURY IS CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF SKATING IN THE SQUARE OR ITS STAFF.

I ACCEPT THAT GLOVES MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES BY PARTICIPANTS. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO HANDS AND FINGERS, IF PARTICIPANTS CHOOSE NOT TO OBAY THIS RULE THEN THEY DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK, AND SKATING IN THE SQUARE OR IT STAFF MEMBERS

I ACCEPT THAT SKATING IN THE SQUARE IS AN OUTDOOR EVENT AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO BAD WEATHER. ALL EQUIPMENT USED BY SKATING IN THE SQUARE IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO FUNCTION IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, SO IT IS UNLIKY THAT A SESSION WILL BE CALLED OFF DUE TO BAD WEATHER. THIS MEANS ON SOME SESSIONS YOU MAY GET WET, SO PLEASE DRESS SENSIBLY. ON THE RARE EVENT OF A SESSION BEING CANCELLED DUE TO EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY SKATING IN THE SQUARE AND ALLOCATED A NEW BOOKING SLOT.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY BOOKING CANNOT BE CANCELLED, NOR WILL IT BE REFUNDED SHOULD I FAIL TO ATTEND. A BOOKING REQUEST CAN BE SUBMITTED A MINIMUM OF 48 HOURS PRIOR TO YOUR BOOKED SESSION, BUT SHOULD A REQUEST BE RECEIVED LESS THAN 48 HOURS BEFORE THE BOOKED SESSION, THE REQUEST WILL BE DENIED.

I ACCEPT THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO AGE LIMIT TO PARTICIPATE IN SKATING IN THE SQUARES ACTIVITIES, THE SMALLEST SIZE SKATE IS A CHILDS 9, SO CHILDREN TAKE PART AT THEIR PARENT/GAURDIAN’S DISCRETION.

I ACCEPT THE FACT THAT SKATING IN THE SQUARE IS A SYNTHETIC SKATING RINK AND IS NOT REAL ICE. ALL EQUIPMENT USED BY SKATING IN THE SQUARE IS DESIGNED TO GIVE YOU AN EXPERIENCE AS CLOSE TO REAL ICE AS POSSIBLE, AND HAS BEEN TRIED, TESTED AND APPROVED BY A WIDE RANGE OF SKATING ABILITIES.
