To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Alberta law, I hereby release, waive, and discharge the facility, its owners, directors, officers, employees, contractors, trainers, agents, and affiliates (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, damages, costs, or causes of action, including those arising from negligence, breach of contract, or breach of any duty of care, arising out of or related to my use of the gym or participation in its activities.

8. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the applicable federal laws of Canada.
9. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
