My Team understands that participation in the Ghana Swim League involves inherent risks and agrees to take responsibility for and carry these inherent risks. These risks include but are not limited to risks that may arise from:
● Traveling to and from events
● Engaging in swimming activities
● Adverse weather conditions
● Imperfect conditions on the property where the events are taking place
● Potential exposure to health hazards and infectious diseases
● Equipment failure
● Injuries and damages
● Participants of varying skill levels
● Situations beyond the immediate control of the league organizers
● Other unforeseeable or unknown risks

Consequently, My Team knowingly and freely accepts to take full responsibility for the individual conduct and safety of its swimmers, coaches, supporters, property, and equipment and accepts all risks (both known and unknown) injuries, loss of property and damages that may occur.

My Team further agrees that GSL, the Ghana Government and any other local authority where there is a League Venue or event (and their respective executive members, directors, officers, employees, volunteers, contractors, or agents) (“Released Parties”) accepts no responsibility, to the extent permitted by law, for any injury, loss or damage.

My Team shall thereby take all reasonable measures to protect My Team from the risks of participation and the activities we undertake during the meets and My Team will ensure that all its members will be in good health and in proper physical condition to participate in the events of the league and no member of My Team will be under the influence of alcohol or any illicit or prescription drugs which could impair or enhance their ability to safely participate in the events of the league.

My team and its members’ names, nicknames (if any), assumed names (if any), image, voice, performance, signature, and likeness (“the Image Rights”) may be photographed, filmed, broadcast, identified or otherwise captured or recorded during competition, or any other events incidental to My Team’s participation in the League.

We give our unconditional and irrevocable consent to the Ghana Swim League, or anyone authorized by them to capture or record the Image Rights during the League and/or any other events incidental to My Team’s participation in the League (‘the Footage’) and to copy, publish, broadcast, distribute and communicate the Footage in perpetuity to the public by any means, in any format and on any media or technology whether now existing or created in the future, as may be agreed by the GSL without payment or liability to My Team. The Footage shall be the GSL’s exclusive property for the duration of the league, and upon completion of the league.

My Team also waives all moral rights in the Footage and release and discharge the GSL from all claims whatsoever including any claims relating to My Team’s moral rights in connection with the use of the Image Rights in the Footage and My Team’s moral rights in them.

My Team also consents to, and licenses the use of, the Image Rights in perpetuity for all other current or future purposes (both commercial and non-commercial) authorized by the GSL in relation to the preparation, operation, advertising, marketing and promotional activities in connection with the GSL and/or any commercial partners of the GSL from time to time but excluding any use that decidedly or conspicuously suggests a direct commercial association and/or endorsement between my image or my service without my prior written consent (which should not be unreasonably withheld).

My Team further agrees that, except as permitted by the GSL, we will not allow names, picture, or sports performance of members of My Team (including without limitation the Image Rights) to be used for commercial, advertising, marketing or promotional purposes by any other person or entity at or during the league.

My Team further undertakes not to perform any act or be involved in any situation that brings the GSL and the commercial partners of the GSL into disrepute. My Team also agrees that My Team shall not be entitled to conduct, carry out or cause to be conducted or carried out or engage in any form of ambush marketing and shall not conduct any activity that conflicts with, infringes upon, or impairs the rights of the GSL or any commercial partner.
