Waiver, Release and Indemnity Agreement

I certify that I am in good health and physical condition in order to participate in all tennis and pickleball activities, and that it is my sole responsibility to make this determination, and I have determined that I am sufficiently fit and healthy to participate in these activities.  I also understand that there are inherent risks associated with these activities including but not limited to the risk of serious bodily injury and death caused by my own actions or inactions or the actions or inactions of others participating in these activities, or the risk of heat exhaustion and other environmental and climate conditions.  I voluntarily and knowingly accept and assume all risks associated with my participation in these activities and release and waive any and all claims, of any nature or kind whatsoever, arising out of my participation in these activities, against First Serve Tennis LLC, including all their respective officers, employees, contractors, agents and representatives.  I further agree to save and hold harmless and indemnify First Serve Tennis LLC from all liability, loss, costs, claims or damages of any nature or kind whatsoever that may be asserted against them arising out of my participation in these activities, including all attorneys’ fees that they may incur in the event of any claims that may be asserted against them.

Payment, Cancelation, and Credit Policy

All payments are final. Refunds will only be offered in the case of an injury or illness that prevents play. Credits will only be offered for cancellations made at least 48 hours in advance and they must be approved by the Montclair Pickleball team. Credits will be applied to a player’s account, and can be used for any future Montclair Pickleball program, including clinics, open play, guided drilling, guided open play, and play with pro.

Players who have purchased a package are allowed one credit per package, as long as the cancellation is made 48 hours in advance. If a player has more than one cancellation for a package, the individual day rate will be charged.

We may keep your credit card on file for ease of processing future purchases. We will only charge your card if explicitly authorized, and can remove it from file at any time upon request.

Weather 

In the event of a rain or heat cancellation, we will contact you immediately via email and text once the decision is made. If you haven’t heard from us, then the clinic is on. In the event of a full cancellation, players will be offered a credit. In the event that we have to stop a clinic midway due to the weather, credit will be given if we were not able to complete half the clinic. If we were able to complete more than half the clinic, credit will not be offered.

Rackets/Paddles

We are able to provide pickleball paddles for players in our clinics that need them, and sell them at a discount as well.

Food and Water

There is no food or chewing gum permitted on the courts. Players are encouraged to bring their own water in a distinguishable container.

Email/Text Updates

By signing up for a Montclair Pickleball clinic, lesson, open play, or other program you agree to receive email and/or text updates from us. These updates will include weather cancellations, promotions, and other updates. You are also agreeing that your email address and phone number is shared with other entities owned by First Serve Tennis LLC, including, but not limited to, First Serve Tennis and New Jersey Pickleball for the purpose of similar promotions. Your information will never be shared with any person or entity that is not affiliated with First Serve Tennis LLC.

Program Levels

Coaches may move players between different level groups or combine groups where fit to maximize program quality. If a player is signed up for the incorrect level as deemed by a coach, the player will be placed in a different, level appropriate program depending on availability.
