Contract of Paticipation

I, as a participant in the 2010 Ishigaki Island Triathlon (April 25, 2010, henceforth referred to as “The Triathlon”), swear to the following articles:

Duty to Observe the Rules and Regulations: As the Triathlon makes use of public roadways, facilities, and coastal areas etc., I promise to observe the general traffic laws as well as all the guidelines, rules and regulations put forward by the sponsors of the Triathlon (henceforth written as the sponsors.) I also promise to watch out for my own safety and health. If, within the week of the Triathlon, I notice any abnormality or sickness, I promise to withdraw my right to participate in the Triathlon.
Understanding of the Nature of Competition, and Responsibility of Self Management: I, with experience of triathlon competition or related sports, recognize that competition consists of a combination of sports conducted in different environments which subject the physical condition of athletes to sudden and drastic changes. Furthermore, because the course of the triathlon is set up in an unstable outdoor environment over a very wide area, I fully understand that obstacles to first aid/or rescue in emergency situations are highly possible. I am at present in good health and I do not foresee any health problems of any kind while participating in the triathlon. In addition, I have had a complete physical by a practicing medical doctor and been pronounced in good health within the last year (between April 26, 2009 to April 25, 2010.) I swear to report any allergies, unusual physical conditions, or religious or philosophical beliefs that would affect any medical treatment given to me directly to the Medical Division of the Triathlon in writing prior to the competition. I agree to supply the Triathlon Office with papers documenting a recent physical, including an electrocardiogram, if asked.
Removal from Competition and the Handling of Emergency Situations: I, if judged by the sponsors and marshals of the competition to be a hinderance to the continuation of the Triathlon, will accept orders for my removal from competition. If I am injured, involved in an accident, or suddenly fall ill, I will accept the measures taken by the Sponsors and/or doctors. I will rise no objections to any emergency measures taken, and will not protest any results of said emergency measures.
Exemption from Responsibility for Accident or Death of the Sponsors of the Triathlon: I will not hold the Triathlon, or its Sponsors responsible in any way what so ever in the event that I am injured or killed during the Triathlon or any of its incidental events. I consent that any compensation due to accident or injury be paid to me within the guidelines of the Triathlon accident insurance policy. Hence, I swear that there will be absolutely no legal action and/or demands for compensation of any kind from myself, my benefactors, my next of kin, my relatives, the manager of my estate, or the executor of my last will and testament.
Exemption from Responsibility for “Acts of God” of the Sponsors of the Triathlon: I swear that I will make absolutely no demands relating to compensation for fees necessary for the participation in the Triathlon, or hold the Sponsors liable for the loss or damage of any implements, for the cancellation of the Triathlon or any changes in the events therein; due to any changes in the environment which are not hospitable to competition.
Public and Commercial use of Images and Data connected with the Triathlon and Tri-athletes: I consent the the use of my image, and personal data such as name, age, address, and athletic history, etc., in all Triathlon publications, news reports, and informational media with the understanding that they may be used publicly and commercially by organizations with affiliations to the Sponsors and the ITU (International Triathlon Union).
Relatives/Relations Consent for Participation in the Triathlon: I, my family, my relatives, and/or my legal guardians approve of the contents of the Triathlon based upon this contract. I, my family, my relatives, and/or my legal guardians consent to my participation in the Triathlon.
