BNKR GOLF SIM LLC RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS, ASSUMPTION OF RISKS, INDEMNITY AGREEMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY

Governing Law: State of Illinois

This Release Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by the undersigned participant ("Releasor") in connection with participation in golf simulator activities ("Activity") provided by BNKR Golf Sim LLC ("Releasee"), a mobile golf simulator service operating in the Chicagoland area, Illinois.

1. Agreement to Follow Directions

I agree to observe and obey all posted rules, signage, and warnings at the event. I further agree to follow any oral instructions or directions given by BNKR Golf Sim LLC employees, representatives, or agents. Failure to follow instructions may result in removal from the activity without refund.

2. Certification of Physical Fitness

I certify that I have not been advised against participating in this Activity by a qualified medical professional. I certify that I have no health-related reasons or physical conditions that preclude my participation. I understand that golf simulator activities involve physical movement including swinging, bending, and standing for extended periods, and I confirm I am physically capable of participating safely.

3. Specific Assumption of Risks

Illinois law requires that waivers clearly and explicitly identify the specific risks being assumed. By signing this Agreement, I acknowledge and voluntarily assume ALL risks associated with the Activity, including but not limited to:

  • Being struck by golf balls, golf clubs, or other equipment during play

  • Slips, trips, and falls on or around the simulator area, inflatable tent, or event surface

  • Muscle strains, sprains, or other injuries resulting from swinging golf clubs

  • Injury from inflatable tent structures, projector equipment, or simulator hardware

  • Property damage caused by golf balls, clubs, or inflatable structures

  • Injury resulting from the actions of other participants or spectators

  • Environmental conditions including uneven terrain, outdoor weather, or lighting

  • Any other risks that may arise from participation in golf simulator activities

I recognize these risks have the potential to cause serious harm, including permanent injury or death, to myself and others, as well as property damage and loss. I hereby assume ALL such risks, including any risks that may arise from the ordinary negligence or carelessness of Releasee.

Illinois courts require assumption of risk language to be clear, explicit, and unequivocal. This section is intentionally specific to meet that standard.

4.Waiver and Release of Claims

On behalf of myself, my executors, administrators, heirs, next of kin, successors, and assigns, I hereby release and forever discharge BNKR Golf Sim LLC and its affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, owners, employees, representatives, partners, and agents (collectively, "Released Parties"), in their individual and/or corporate capacities, from any and all causes of action, claims, demands, losses, or damages of any nature, known or unknown, which I may have against any Released Party arising out of or relating to any injury, loss, or damage to person or property sustained as a result of my participation in the Activity.

This release covers claims arising from ordinary negligence of the Released Parties. This release does NOT cover claims arising from gross negligence, willful and wanton misconduct, or conduct that violates Illinois public policy.

5. Indemnification

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless BNKR Golf Sim LLC and all Released Parties against any and all claims, actions, lawsuits, damages, judgments, and attorney’s fees arising out of or relating to my participation in the Activity, or the participation of any minor child for whom I am responsible.

6. Equipment Damage

I agree to pay for all damages to equipment, technology, and property owned by BNKR Golf Sim LLC caused by any negligent, reckless, or willful actions by me or members of my party. This includes but is not limited to the launch monitor, projector, screen, inflatable tent, golf clubs, and any related accessories.

7. Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

By signing this Agreement, I acknowledge and agree to the following cancellation and rescheduling terms:

CLIENT-INITIATED CANCELLATIONS:

  • More than 21 days before the event, full deposit refunded.

  • 21-14 days before the event: The deposit is forfeited. No further amount is owed.

  • 7–14 days before the event: 50% of the total booking amount is due regardless of cancellation.

  • Fewer than 7 days before the event: 100% of the total booking amount is due. No refund will be issued.

RESCHEDULING

  • Rescheduling requests made more than 7 days before the event will be accommodated at no additional charge, subject to availability. The deposit will transfer to the new date.

  • Rescheduling requests made fewer than 7 days before the event are treated as a cancellation and the applicable cancellation fee applies. A new deposit is required to secure the rescheduled date.

COMPANY-INITIATED CANCELLATIONS:

  • If BNKR Golf Sim LLC cancels due to equipment failure, operator emergency, or circumstances beyond our control, the client will receive a full refund of all amounts paid, including the deposit.

  • If BNKR Golf Sim LLC cancels due to severe weather or unsafe outdoor conditions, the client will be offered a full reschedule at no penalty, or a full refund if rescheduling is not possible.

WEATHER POLICY:

  • Outdoor events are subject to weather conditions. BNKR Golf Sim LLC reserves the right to cancel or relocate an outdoor setup if conditions are deemed unsafe (high winds, lightning, heavy rain).

  • If the client chooses to cancel due to weather and BNKR Golf Sim LLC has determined conditions are safe to proceed, standard client-initiated cancellation terms apply.

NO-SHOW POLICY:

  • If the client or event is not accessible at the scheduled time and BNKR Golf Sim LLC has arrived on-site, 100% of the total booking amount is due.

DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE in all client-initiated cancellation scenarios. Cancellation fees reflect real costs incurred: travel, staffing, equipment reservation,and lost booking opportunities. By signing this Agreement, you confirm you have read, understood, and agree to these terms.

8. Minor Children — Important Illinois Notice

Under Illinois law, a parent or guardian CANNOT waive or release a minor child’s right to bring a future claim for injury. (Meyer v. Naperville Manner, Inc., 262 Ill.App.3d 141 (2d Dist. 1994).) If a minor child is participating in the Activity:

  • This waiver does NOT release claims on behalf of any minor child.

  • BNKR Golf Sim LLC strongly recommends that minors be directly supervised by a parent or guardian at all times during participation.

  • The undersigned adult accepts personal responsibility for supervising any minor children in their care during the Activity.

  • BNKR Golf Sim LLC reserves the right to require additional documentation or to limit participation by minors at its discretion.

This section reflects Illinois-specific law. Parents and guardians should be aware that signing this waiver does not extinguish a minor’s independent legal rights under Illinois law

9. Marketing Consent

I consent to BNKR Golf Sim LLC collecting and using my contact information and event photos/video for marketing purposes, including promotional emails, social media posts, and advertising materials. I understand I may opt out at any time by contacting BNKR Golf Sim LLC directly.

10. Governing Law, Severability & Dispute Resolution

This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. Any disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved in Cook County, Illinois.

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable under Illinois law, such provision shall be construed or applied in a manner that permits maximum enforcement. All remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

The parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution of any dispute before initiating formal legal proceedings. If litigation is necessary, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees.
