Martial Arts Training Memberships

It’s a condition of enrolment that members are aware of and agree to abide by the Manakai Martial Arts terms and conditions. We also expect Junior students, and their parents on their behalf, to read and understand these terms and conditions.

 

LIABILITY

All members and their guests use Manakai Martial Arts facilities and Home-Based Training programs at their own risk. Manakai Martial Arts cannot accept responsibility for damage or injury caused through use of any facility or Home-Based Training location. Furthermore, Manakai Martial Arts is not responsible for any lost or stolen items, or damage to property or vehicles.

Damage to Manakai Martial Arts property must be paid for by any member who wilfully or negligently causes such damage. Members are responsible for damage caused by their guests or children.

 

WAIVER

Members, their parents or legal guardians realise that sometimes injuries may occur while doing martial arts and sports due to accidents. They will not hold Manakai Martial Arts, its instructors or event organisers and helpers responsible for any injuries that may occur at Manakai Martial Arts Dojo’s, Events or during Home Based Training away from Manakai Martial Arts and away from the presence of an Instructor and agree to Manakai Martial Arts staff seeking medical help or administering first aid in the case of injury as deemed appropriate. Costs associated with the injury will be the responsibility of the member, parent or legal guardian.

 

INSURANCE

Student accident Insurance is compulsory. Insurance is included in all memberships. 

Policy and claims information is available from the Manakai Martial Arts Membership Coordinator. Claims must be made directly to the insurer, not Manakai Martial Arts, within 30 days of the incident. The incident must be recorded on an Accident Report Form at the time it occurs. Student accident insurance is not intended to replace members’ own medical/hospital benefit insurance.
