For example, if you signed up on Feb 12th, then your auto-billing will process on the 12th of each month.

PROCESSING OF TRAINING CLUB FEES: Since all club fees are set up on Auto Billing and bill the first of the month, initial fees may be prorated pending on when the athlete is beginning the program.

If the athlete starts on the first, second or 3rd week of the month, the first month is prorated.  Any athlete that begins within the first 5 days of the month is billed for the full month, and the billing cycle will continue on the 1st of each month.

The ATN® CLUB PROGRAM is NOT a session based program, but designed as ongoing, regular, weekly coaching program with a target # of coaching hours per month. If an athlete misses training due to vacation, illness, change in schedule, the program fees do not roll over to future months.  If you know that you will not be able to train for more than 2 weeks, please contact us via email at least 10 days prior so your training fee schedule and throws training schedule can be adjusted.

The ATN® CLUB PROGRAM is a frequency based, ongoing program for throwers serious about making massive improvements in a matter of 3-5 months.

This program is based on a target number of hours each week and target total for each month, therefore, this program is a flat fee based on the hours target.

THROWS TRAINING & CAMP PARTICIPATION WAIVER & RELEASE

Please read and review.

In a nutshell, accidents can happen. Thankfully, we have a great track record of no accidents to date and we intend to keep it that way!

With that being said, we do need you to agree to all this legal stuff.

So, please read and review and realize that you will most likely never get hurt…. BUT… it can happen, and if it does, you agree not to hold us responsible.

Here it goes…

Because both Shot Put & Discus training can be strenuous and subject to risk of injury, you agree that by participating in Arete Throws Nation™ PHX, ATN™  Throwing camps, and ATN™ clinics,  you do so entirely at your own risk.

You agree that you are voluntarily participating in these activities and any use of facilities and premises where camps/clinics take place. You  assume all risks of injury, illness, or death.

This waiver and release of liability includes, without limitation, any injury and/or damages caused by equipment malfunction or failure, any slip or fall, and any negligent instruction or supervision by Arete Throws Nation™ and their respective members, officers, directors, agents, servants, employees, trainers, staff contractors, and/or assigns.

Additionally, you acknowledge that you have carefully read this “waiver and release” and fully understand that it is a release of liability.

You expressly agree to release and discharge Arete Nation Athletics LLC (doing business as Arete Throws Nation™ ), the coaches or instructors, event hosting site, and their respective members, officers, directors, agents, servants, employees, trainers, staff, contractors, and assigns from any and all claims or causes of action and you agree to voluntarily give up or waive any right that you may otherwise have to bring a legal action against Arete Nation Athletics LLC staff, the coaches, or instructors for personal injury or property damage.

If any portion of this release from liability shall be deemed by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, then the remainder of this release from liability shall remain in full force and effect and the offending provision or provisions severed here from.

I further assert that my child is in sufficient physical and mental health to participate in throws training, practices and/ or throws camp and does not have any physical, or mental condition that could prevent him or her from being able to participate in the activities involved in throws training, strength training, and/ or at the Throws Camp.

I have medical insurance coverage appropriate for my child’s participation in throws training, strength training, and/ or at the Throws Camp.

Arete Throws Nation™ shall not provide any insurance for my child in connection with my child/athletes participation in throws training, strength training, and/ or at the Throws Camp.

This Waiver, Release and Assumption of Risk (the “Agreement”) shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, the State of Texas, the State of Illinois, the State of Iowa, the State of Ohio, the State of Florida and by the State of Arizona.
