Please read this waiver carefully as it affects your legal rights in the event of an injury, contraction of a communicable disease, infection and/or damage to property. 

I understand that participation in Programs (the "Activities") sponsored by The Salvation Army, the New York corporation ("The Salvation Army"), comes with a certain degree of risk. I have carefully considered the risk involved and I agree to assume such risk. I understand that participation in the Activities is entirely voluntary and requires participants to abide by applicable rules and standards of conduct. I release The Salvation Army and all Officers, employees (including the Activities coordinators), volunteers, related parties, or other organizations associated with the Activities (together, "the Released Parties") from any and all claims or liability of whatever kind or nature, which I may have arising out of or resulting, directly or indirectly, from such participation.

The Salvation Army Kroc Center offers different membership types that may be dependent upon age, household size, and/or company or organizational affiliation.  For complete information regarding the types of memberships available and membership costs associated with each type of membership, please inquire at our Welcome Desk.

With written member authorization, The Salvation Army Kroc Center memberships are typically paid by electronic funds transfer (EFT) from a bank account, or by automatic credit card transaction.  On the 20th of each month, the Center will debit member accounts for the next month’s membership dues and any other outstanding charges on the account.

Members also have the option of a 12-month pre-paid membership which offers a discount of the yearly membership fee.

Pro-rated fees, also due at the time of enrollment, will vary depending upon enrollment date. Any requested changes to your membership must be submitted prior to the 10th of the current month to be processed for the following month.

To keep information up to date we request that members complete a Center Change/Cancellation Form (available at our Welcome Desk) whenever personal contact or financial information changes.  All member information is strictly confidential and stored securely at the Center.  Account questions are best directed to the Welcome Desk staff.

All new members receive a membership card which remains the property of The Salvation Army Kroc Center and must be presented at our Welcome Desk (Lantern B) upon entrance to the facility.  This bar-coded member ID tag is specific to each member and is non-transferable.  A $5 fee is required for replacement tags.  Members attempting to allow others entry on their ID tag may have their membership revoked.  When a member ID card is identified as “inactive” at the Welcome Desk, access to the Center is restricted until the Center is able to identify and resolve the reason for their status.

Membership fees are non-refundable.  The Salvation Army Kroc Center requires all changes to members’ accounts in writing, with signatures of both the member (this includes the member under whose financial account changes are made) and an authorized staff member.  Members must submit the Change/Cancellation Form prior to the 10th of the current month, to ensure the change is effective in the following month.  If a member cancels, or the membership lapses 30 days or more the $10 reactivation fee will be assessed to reopen the membership account.

Members auto-paying monthly must ensure timely payments in order for their account to remain in good standing.  A $10 charge will be assessed for each insufficient funds transaction.  Your membership will be placed on hold until payment is received.

Members are asked to conduct themselves in accordance with the terms and conditions of their signed Kroc Center membership agreement.   Terms and conditions of membership, as noted on the membership agreement, are not all-inclusive, and the Center reserves the right to make changes to these terms when necessary.  Such changes will be communicated to the membership in a variety of ways.  For reasons of interpretation of its rules and regulations the decision of the Kroc Center shall be final.  The Kroc Center reserves the right to rescind membership privileges of any member whose behavior is considered to be offensive or consistently interferes with other members’ enjoyment of the facility.

Membership terms include:

1) Members and any guests in his/her party will abide by terms of this Agreement at all times during the period of membership and will comply with all rules and regulations posted or otherwise communicated to members.

2) In case of illness or injury, The Salvation Army Kroc Center is authorized to secure emergency medical treatment at the member’s expense.

3) The Salvation Army Kroc Center reserves the right to remove from the facility or terminate the membership of any member who fails to comply with any posted rules and regulations or otherwise breaches the terms of this Agreement, in which case member will not be entitled to a refund of membership fee.

The Salvation Army Kroc Center allows a one-day use of the facility by purchasing a Day Pass.  A daily fee is charged for Day Pass privileges.  On the initial visit The Salvation Army Kroc Center requires the completion of a Day Pass registration form and signed liability waiver prior to use of its facilities.  We also ask that guests provide the Center with a valid form of photo ID.   Parents or guardians must sign the Day Pass registration for minors on the initial visit.  Youth under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when using a Day Pass (however an exception is made for minors age 13-15 if they have completed KidFit Orientation).

The Center requires appropriate attire in all areas of the facility. This includes athletic shorts or sweat pants, shirts, and footwear designed for athletic use.  Black-soled shoes and non-athletic footwear are not permitted for use in the gymnasium. Closed-toed, full-heeled athletic footwear should be worn in our fitness areas and bare feet are only permitted in our locker rooms and aquatic area.  Any clothing, including logos or messages on apparel, must be modest and acceptable in a family setting.

For our members’ convenience, the Center offers clean locker rooms facilities, complete with personalized shower areas.  Lockers are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and personal items must be secured using a personal padlock.  All lockers must be removed at the end of each visit to the Kroc Center; locks left on lockers at the end of the day will be removed and the contents of the locker will be placed in our lost and found area.  Please note that we do not accept responsibility for lost, stolen, or damaged items from the locker rooms or any other locations throughout the campus and encourage each member to be sure his/her items are secured at all times.  Also, as a courtesy to fellow members, cell phone use is prohibited in our locker rooms.  

The Center provides a lost and found area at our Welcome Desk and items identified as “Lost Items” are kept in this location for a maximum of 30 days (wet clothes and towels, shoes, etc. are generally not stored).  After 30 days, items are discarded.  Members who believe they may have lost an item on our campus should inquire in person at our Welcome Desk to identify and claim the item.  When needed, we will require presentation of identification when items are claimed.

In case of emergency, I hereby give my permission to the responding medical provider to secure treatment, including hospitalization, anesthesia, surgery, or injections of medication if I become ill or injured while participating in the Activities. I agree that the Released Parties shall have no responsibility for any medical expenses incurred as a result of any illness or injury suffered during my participation in the Activities.  Medical providers are authorized to disclose to the person in charge of the Activities a determination of my ability to continue in the Activities. This Consent will be binding on my heirs, successors, assigns, administrators and executors.  I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand this Consent and that I have been given an opportunity to ask questions and have such questions answered.
