Each team member agrees to waive any claims against DBR Directors and Volunteers, Dynamic Dragon Boat Racing LLC, Duncan-Williams Inc., Tennessee Clean Water Network, or Mud Island River Park that may arise from personal injury or death or damage to personal property caused by participation in Dragon Boat practices or races. It is the responsibility of the Team Captain to return signed waiver forms to Race Management prior to Team’s first practice.
  2. Cancellation: If Team chooses to cancel this contract 30 days prior to said race it shall be refunded its deposit less a $100 service fee. If Team cancels for any reason less than 30 days prior to the race then team will not be entitled to any refund.
  3. Fulfillment of Contract: Race is a rain or shine event; however, should the event be cancelled for any reason except natural acts of God, Management will be obligated to refund only monies received from Team which will release Management from any claims or damage from the Team.
  4. Team Sponsorship: Management retains all rights to advertising, sponsorship and commercial representation for the event. Management is under no obligation to individual Team sponsors, and may refuse any commercial representation on the DBR site and on the water venue. Management will not be responsible for any team’s representation of their organization. Representation of the organization responsible for the Team and its sponsor(s) shall be limited to: a) clothing such as team uniforms (T-shirts, sweat suits, hats, head bands, athletic bags); b) one team flag not exceeding six feet in any direction (team flags are not allowed in dragon boats); c) other items deemed appropriate by Management.
