NATURE OF THE ACTIVITIES. Jax Social offers participants the opportunity to participate in the volleyball league. Participants know that sports and other physical activities conducted by Jax Social are active and vigorous and consequently involve risks of injury that are inherent to the activity. It is impossible to eliminate all risk and possibility of injury for Participants.

WAIVER. The Participant waives, today and for all future dates, the protection afforded by any statute or law in FL and whose purpose, substance, and/or effect is to provide that a general release shall not extend to claims, material or otherwise which the person giving the release does not know of or suspect at the time of executing the release.
