Terms of Service
These terms cover your use of this site and your booking of classes with Chicago Floorball LLC ("the club"), an Illinois limited liability company.
Your account
To book a class you need an account with your first name, your last name and a verified email address. You agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy when you create it. The club records which version you accepted, when, and from which IP address.
You are responsible for keeping your password private and your details accurate.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and to take part in any class.
When these documents change
Each legal document has a version. When the terms or the privacy policy change, the site asks you to accept the new version at your next booking, before you can book again.
The liability waiver
Before you can take part in a class, you must sign the club's liability waiver online. There is no walk-in path, and everyone uses the same online flow. If a disability prevents you from using the online waiver viewer or booking flow, contact the club at contact@chicagofloorball.com for an accessible accommodation.
You must be 18 years of age or older to sign the waiver. An attempt to sign with a date of birth under 18 is recorded, and it blocks further attempts on that account until the club reviews it.
A signature covers classes through the same calendar date 12 months after you sign, by the Chicago date. A signature made on February 29 covers through February 28. When you book, your signature must cover the end date of the class. If it doesn't, you sign again. A class that ends more than 12 months from today can't be booked yet, because a signature made today wouldn't cover it.
You also sign again if a class requires a different or newer waiver, or if the club withdraws the waiver you signed. Under the waiver's terms, accepting a newer version of the waiver replaces the older version for future classes. If a class's required waiver changes after you book, the club emails you to sign the new waiver before the class. If you don't sign it before the class, you cannot take part; if you choose not to accept the new waiver and contact the club before the class starts, the club cancels your booking with a full refund, fee included.
The waiver is a separate document, and these terms don't replace it.
Booking and paying
You can register for a class until its scheduled end. Payment takes place on Stripe's hosted checkout page, where you also confirm that you agree to these terms. Your card statement shows CHICAGO FLOORBALL LLC (or a similar Chicago Floorball descriptor).
Every total the club displays includes a separate line item called the Booking & Processing Fee. Wherever space allows, the price is itemised as base price plus fee equals total. Your seat is confirmed once the payment succeeds.
Class times are shown in Chicago time.
Cancellations and refunds
The Refund Policy sets out what is refunded when you cancel a booking, when the club cancels a class or an individual booking, or when a class's required waiver changes. You accept it at checkout.
Card disputes and booking blocks
If you dispute a payment with your card issuer, the registration is cancelled and you can't make new bookings until the club lifts the block. The club can also block new bookings on an account for another reason, and it records that reason.
Closing your account
You can delete your account from your profile page. Deletion is refused while you have a booking block, an open age review, or a booking for a class that hasn't ended. Cancel upcoming bookings first, or contact the club about a block.
The Privacy Policy lists what the club keeps after deletion, and why.
Conduct
At classes, you must follow all safety instructions, rules of play, and codes of conduct of the club, its coaches, instructors, and referees, as well as the rules of the host facility (including the YMCA). You must wear clean, non-marking indoor court shoes on the playing surface and, when playing in goal or taking part in goalkeeper drills, an IFF-compliant goalkeeper face mask. You must not attend or take part while under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, illegal drugs, or any medication that impairs your judgment, balance, or reaction time, or engage in unsafe, unsportsmanlike, or disruptive behavior.
On the site, you must give accurate information (including your identity and age), keep your account for your own use only, and not interfere with bookings, payments, waivers, or site security.
If you break these rules, the club may remove you from a class, cancel your booking without refund, block new bookings on your account, or close your account.
Liability
The liability waiver governs all risks of injury, illness, death, or property damage connected with attending or taking part in classes. If these terms and the waiver conflict on participation risk, the waiver controls.
This site and the booking service are provided "as is" and without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by Illinois law, the club is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and the club's total liability for any claim arising out of the site or a booking (outside the scope of the liability waiver) is limited to the amount you paid the club for the booking or bookings at issue in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms waives any liability that cannot be waived under Illinois law.
Governing law, disputes and jury waiver
These terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them, the site, or your bookings are governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any lawsuit, action, or legal proceeding must be brought exclusively in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, or, if federal subject-matter jurisdiction exists, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, in Chicago, Illinois, and you submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
To the fullest extent permitted by Illinois law, you and the club knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waive any right to a trial by jury in any lawsuit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these terms, the site, or your bookings, and agree that any such action will be tried before a judge sitting without a jury.
