SECTION 3: VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I acknowledge that my participation, or my child’s participation, in martial arts activities at Mojo Dojo MMA is voluntary.
I understand that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a full-contact martial art involving physical resistance, pressure, joint manipulation, submission techniques, and close physical interaction.
I agree to follow instructor directions, communicate injuries or limitations, and exercise reasonable care toward other participants.
I understand that I may stop training, refuse a particular drill, or withdraw from an activity if I believe continuing would be unsafe.
I voluntarily assume the inherent risks of these activities.

SECTION 4: RELEASE OF LIABILITY — ADULT PARTICIPANTS
IMPORTANT: THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
If I am 18 years of age or older, I expressly release and discharge Mojo Dojo MMA, its legal operating entity, owners, instructors, coaches, employees, volunteers, and agents from claims for injuries, illness, death, or property damage arising from participation in academy activities, including claims resulting from the ordinary negligence of the released parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law.
This provision is intended to include ordinary-negligence claims concerning instruction, supervision, equipment, training activities, and premises conditions.
This release does not apply to reckless or intentional misconduct or liability that cannot legally be waived.
I understand that by signing this agreement, I may be giving up my right to recover compensation for certain injuries caused by ordinary negligence.
This section applies only to adult participants and does not purport to waive a minor participant’s independent legal rights.

SECTION 5: MEDICAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND HEALTH RESPONSIBILITIES
I acknowledge that martial arts training requires physical exertion and that I am responsible for evaluating my ability to participate safely.
I agree to inform academy staff about relevant medical conditions, restrictions, injuries, allergies, or other circumstances affecting my participation.

SECTION 6: EMERGENCY MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION
In the event of an injury, illness, or medical emergency, I authorize Mojo Dojo MMA personnel to contact emergency medical services and assist in arranging appropriate emergency medical care.
For a minor participant, the signing parent or legal guardian authorizes emergency medical evaluation and treatment when immediate action is necessary and the parent or guardian cannot reasonably be contacted.

14.2 Authorization for Automatic Payments
By affirmatively accepting this payment authorization and signing below, I authorize Mojo Dojo MMA and its designated payment processor to automatically charge my authorized payment method for the recurring membership dues described above.
This authorization may apply to an approved credit card, debit card, or bank account, depending on the payment method I separately provide.
I understand that payments will be processed according to the disclosed amount and schedule and will continue until the authorization is revoked or the membership is properly canceled or terminated, subject to applicable law.
I authorize only the charges disclosed and agreed to. Additional purchases, fees, or materially different charges require appropriate authorization.
I understand that Mojo Dojo MMA does not need to request separate approval before each regularly scheduled, authorized payment.
Payment Authorization Initials:
14.3 Membership Cancellation — 14-Day Notice Requirement
I understand and agree that Mojo Dojo MMA requires at least fourteen (14) calendar days’ advance written notice before the next scheduled billing date for ordinary voluntary membership cancellation, except where applicable law provides different cancellation rights.
Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing through the member portal at {login_link} or delivered to Mojo Dojo MMA at:
2 Pennsylvania Ave, Matamoras, PA 18336.
For example, if my next scheduled payment is December 1, I must provide cancellation notice no later than November 17 to satisfy the 14-day advance-notice requirement.
If my cancellation notice is received fewer than 14 calendar days before the next billing date, my membership will ordinarily terminate after the upcoming billing cycle, provided this is consistent with applicable law and my membership terms.
Cancellation does not eliminate lawfully incurred charges or financial obligations.
I understand that statutory cancellation rights, where applicable, take precedence over this ordinary cancellation policy.
Cancellation Policy Initials:
14.4 No-Refund Policy
MOJO DOJO MMA MAINTAINS A NO-REFUND POLICY EXCEPT WHERE A REFUND IS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Membership payments are generally nonrefundable once lawfully charged.
Mojo Dojo MMA does not ordinarily provide refunds or prorated credits for:
- Missed classes or voluntary absences.
- Unused training sessions or membership time.
- Personal scheduling conflicts.
- Vacations or voluntary breaks from training.
- A voluntary decision to discontinue training during an already-paid membership period.
I understand that canceling my membership does not automatically entitle me to a refund for a previously paid billing period.
This provision does not limit any statutory rights to cancellation or refunds, remedies for unauthorized or erroneous charges, or other protections required by applicable law.
No-Refund Policy Initials:
14.5 Failed or Declined Payments
I understand that I am responsible for keeping my authorized payment information current.
If a scheduled payment is declined, I agree to update my billing information and resolve any outstanding lawful balance.
Mojo Dojo MMA may temporarily restrict membership access for unpaid dues, consistent with the membership agreement and applicable law.
Any late fees or returned-payment fees must be separately disclosed and lawfully authorized.
Billing Responsibility Initials:
14.6 Revocation of Automatic Payment Authorization
I understand that I may revoke authorization for future automatic payments by notifying Mojo Dojo MMA.
For covered recurring bank-account transfers, I also understand that applicable federal law provides the right to issue a stop-payment instruction through my financial institution.
Revoking automatic payment authorization does not, by itself, cancel the underlying membership contract or eliminate lawfully incurred payment obligations.
Mojo Dojo MMA will not initiate further electronic debits after a revocation becomes effective, except as permitted by applicable law.
14.7 Payment and Cancellation Acknowledgment
I understand that:
- My membership may be billed automatically according to the agreed payment schedule.
