1. Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability
I, the undersigned, acknowledge and agree to the following on my own behalf:
Assumption of Risk. I understand that tennis, pickleball, and related physical conditioning activities involve inherent risks, whether known or unknown, including but not limited to: slips, falls, and collisions with other participants, equipment, or fixed objects; being struck by a ball, racket, or other equipment; muscle strains, sprains, fractures, and joint injuries; heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and dehydration; insect bites and stings and exposure to sun and weather; the negligent or intentional acts of other participants; and court, park, and facility surface conditions typical of outdoor public recreational venues. I voluntarily assume all such risks, known and unknown.
Release of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, I release, waive, and discharge Roll and Balance Inc., d/b/a Nova Tennis Academy, its owners, officers, coaches, employees, contractors, and agents, and the city, municipality, or park authority where the program is held (the "Released Parties"), from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action for personal injury, death, or property damage arising from my participation in Academy programs, except to the extent caused by the Released Parties' gross negligence or intentional misconduct, which Florida public policy does not permit to be waived.
Lost or Damaged Property. Nova Tennis Academy is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal property, including rackets, phones, clothing, or other belongings left at the facility.
2. Medical Authorization
A. Physical Fitness. I certify that I am physically fit to participate in the program.
B. Emergency Treatment, First Aid & Hospitalization. I authorize Nova Tennis Academy staff and coaches, in their reasonable judgment, to administer basic first aid, call 911 or other emergency services, and consent to my own emergency medical treatment and hospitalization if I am unable to communicate or if a coach determines immediate action is necessary. I accept full financial responsibility for any such treatment and confirm that I am covered by my own health insurance, which I agree to maintain throughout participation in Academy programs.
C. Medication. If I have a known medical condition requiring medication (such as asthma, severe allergies, or diabetes), I will ensure necessary medication is physically with me at all times.
3. Required Equipment
I agree to attend each session with: non-marking tennis-appropriate shoes; appropriate athletic clothing including a hat or visor; a personal water bottle; and an appropriately sized racket. A coach may decline to let me participate in a session without refund if I arrive without required footwear or safety equipment.
4. Physical Contact During Instruction
I understand that coaching may involve a coach making appropriate physical contact with me — for example, adjusting a grip, arm position, or stance — solely for instructional purposes, and I consent to such contact.
5. Media Release
Nova Tennis Academy regularly photographs and films classes for its website, social media, and promotional materials. This section is a separate choice — it is not required to enroll.
This box is checked by default. If you do not want your photo or video used, simply uncheck it — your choice is recorded either way and does not affect enrollment.
6. Code of Conduct
I agree that I will treat coaches, staff, and other participants with respect, and will not engage in bullying, harassment, discriminatory language or behavior, physical aggression, aggressive disputes over line calls or tournament/league rules, or other unsportsmanlike conduct. I understand that Nova Tennis Academy may disqualify or remove me from a session, match, league, or tournament, or terminate participation in the program entirely, without refund, for a violation of this Code of Conduct, at the Academy's sole discretion.
7. Communications Consent
I consent to receive transactional and scheduling communications from Nova Tennis Academy by email, SMS/text message, and phone call — including automated messages — at the phone number(s) and email provided above, regarding scheduling, billing, and program updates. This consent is a condition of participation.
By providing my phone number, I additionally opt in to receive promotional and marketing SMS messages from Nova Tennis Academy. I understand that this specific promotional consent is not a condition of participation, and that I may decline it or opt out at any time by replying STOP, without affecting my enrollment. Message and data rates may apply. My information will not be sold to third parties and will be used solely for Academy business purposes, consistent with the Academy's Privacy Policy at nova-tennis-academy.com.
8. Data Processing Consent
I consent to the collection, storage, and use of the personal data provided in this form for registration, safety, communication, and administrative purposes by Nova Tennis Academy.
9. Payment Policy
Class Passes & Subscription Types.
- Single-Class Pass: valid for one (1) class, usable within 30 days of the purchase date.
- Monthly Subscription: grants access to classes one, two, or three times per week (as selected at enrollment) for one billing cycle running from the 1st to the 1st of the following month. This is a subscription to a weekly schedule, not a fixed number of total sessions.
- Quarterly, Semi-Annual, and Annual Subscriptions: grant access to the same weekly class schedule selected at enrollment, automatically renewed and charged at the start of each billing period for the length of the term.
- Ongoing (Month-to-Month) Subscription: renews automatically every month with no fixed end date, for as long as it remains active.
Automatic Renewal & Billing Date. All subscription payments are automatically charged on the last day of the current month, for the following month's classes, unless I have cancelled my subscription before that date in accordance with the cancellation terms below. A one-time Annual Registration Fee of $100 is charged once per year for all active participants. All fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in this section.
Automatic Payment Authorization. By providing a payment method, I authorize Nova Tennis Academy and its designated third-party payment processor to automatically charge that payment method on a recurring basis, according to the schedule of my selected subscription, until my subscription is cancelled in accordance with this agreement. I am responsible for keeping my payment method current and valid, and for the consequences of a declined or failed payment.
Missed Classes & Make-Ups. If a participant simply does not attend a scheduled class, that class is forfeited — it is not banked, credited, or eligible for a make-up. A missed class is eligible for a make-up ONLY in one of the following two cases: (1) illness, supported by a doctor's note confirming the participant was unable to attend, or (2) a class cancelled by the Academy due to weather conditions. When a make-up is authorized, Nova Tennis Academy will designate a specific date for a make-up class. Only the participant who missed the original class may attend the designated make-up; attendance may not be substituted by a sibling, parent, or other family member. If the number of documented weather- or illness-related absences makes a make-up class impractical, Nova Tennis Academy may, at its sole discretion, instead offer a discount toward the next subscription in lieu of a make-up class.
Cancellation of Quarterly, Semi-Annual, and Annual Subscriptions. These subscriptions may not be cancelled before the end of their selected term except in one of the following circumstances: (1) a doctor's note confirming the participant is medically unable to participate in sports activity for a period of three months or more; or (2) the participant's household has relocated more than 25 miles from every Nova Tennis Academy location, supported by proof of the new address (such as a driver's license or a utility bill).
Cancellation of Monthly / Ongoing Subscriptions. To cancel a Monthly or Ongoing subscription and stop the next automatic payment, I must notify Nova Tennis Academy in writing, by email to the Academy's official email address, before the last day of the current month (the automatic billing date for next month). If an automatic payment fails for an Ongoing subscription, that subscription is automatically cancelled.
No Refunds. Payments already made are final and non-refundable — this applies to unused classes, cancelled subscriptions (except the early-cancellation terms above), and removal from the program due to a Code of Conduct violation or failure to bring required equipment.
10. Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
Cancelling a Booked Class. Cancelling a class within 24 hours of its scheduled start time is not eligible for a refund or for the class to be rescheduled — the class is forfeited under the Missed Classes policy above.
Weather Cancellations. A class is rescheduled only when the Academy cancels it due to weather conditions. In that case, I will either receive a 100% discount toward my next class, or the class itself will be rescheduled, at the Academy's discretion. Money already paid is not eligible for a refund either way.
Academy-Initiated Cancellation. Nova Tennis Academy reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any class, with a minimum of 2 hours' notice before the scheduled start time.
11. Governing Law & Severability
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida. If any provision is found unenforceable, all remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
