In exchange for participation in the activity of Social, recreational, educational, networking, crafting, gaming, workshop, and community activities organized by The Lazy Lion Social Club and any participating event venue or partner location and/or use of the property, facilities, and services of The Lazy Lion, I, ____________________________, agree for myself

I recognize that there are certain inherent risks associated with the above-described activity and I assume full responsibility for personal injury to myself, and further release and discharge The Lazy Lion for injury, loss, or damage arising out of my use of or presence upon the facilities of The Lazy Lion, whether caused by the fault of myself, The Lazy Lion, or other third parties.

3. Indemnification.

I agree to indemnify and defend The Lazy Lion against all claims, causes of action, damages, judgments, costs, or expenses, including attorney fees and other litigation costs, which may in any way arise from my use of or presence upon the facilities of The Lazy Lion.

I agree to pay for all damages to the facilities of The Lazy Lion caused by any negligent, reckless, or willful actions by my participation.

Any legal or equitable claim that may arise from my participation in the above shall be resolved under Michigan law.

I agree and acknowledge that I am under no pressure or duress to sign this agreement and that I have been given a reasonable opportunity to review it before signing. I further agree and acknowledge that I am free to have my own legal counsel review this agreement if I so desire. I further agree and acknowledge that The Lazy Lion has offered to refund any fees I have paid to use its facilities if I choose not to sign this agreement.

7. Arm's Length Agreement.

This agreement and each of its terms are the product of an arm's length negotiation between the Parties. In the event any ambiguity is found to exist in the interpretation of this agreement or any of its provisions, the Parties, and each of them, explicitly reject the application of any legal or equitable rule of interpretation which would lead to a construction either "for" or "against" a particular party based upon their status as the drafter of a specific term, language, or provision giving rise to such ambiguity.

8. Enforceability.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement, whether standing alone or as applied to a particular occurrence or circumstance, shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this agreement or of any other applications of such provision, as the case may be. Such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this agreement.

9. Dispute Resolution.

The parties will attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement through friendly negotiations among the parties. If the matter is not resolved by negotiation, the parties will resolve the dispute using the below Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedure:

Any controversies or disputes arising out of or relating to this agreement will be submitted to mediation in accordance with any statutory rules of mediation. If mediation is not successful in resolving the entire dispute or is unavailable, any outstanding issues will be submitted to final and binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator's award will be final, and judgment may be entered upon it by any court having proper jurisdiction.

10. Photography consent.


I grant The Lazy Lion permission to photograph or record club activities and use such images for promotional purposes unless I provide written notice otherwise.


11. Membership Revocation

Membership may be suspended or revoked without refund for violation of club guidelines, unsafe behavior, harassment, illegal activity, or conduct detrimental to the club.
