Terms of service and participation waiver

By booking or participating in sessions with DMTA Pty Ltd ( ‘De Marzi Tennis Academy’ or ‘DMTA’) you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:

1. Assumption of Risk

Tennis involves physical activity. Injuries, falls, or property damage may occur. You participate at your own risk.

2. Medical & Fitness

You confirm you are medically fit to participate and will disclose any relevant health conditions, injuries, or limitations. Coaches may modify activities or decline participation if safety is at risk.

3. Supervision

Children under 18 must be supervised by a parent or guardian unless prior arrangements are made with DMTA.

4. Liability

DMTA, its coaches, employees, and agents are not liable for injury, loss, or damage arising from participation, except in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct. DMTA does not accept liability for property damage at private residences, rented courts, or other locations.

5. Conduct & Safety

Participants must follow coaches’ instructions and behave respectfully. Disruptive or unsafe behaviour may result in termination of sessions without refund.

6. Cancellation & Credit Policy

• Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled session.

• If cancelled with sufficient notice, the session will be converted into a credit.

• Credits expire 6 months from the date of issue.

• Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice are non-refundable and non-creditable.

7. Payment Terms

Payments are due per session, block, or program as agreed. DMTA reserves the right to reschedule sessions due to coach availability, weather, or unforeseen circumstances.

8. Photography & Media

DMTA may take photos or videos during sessions for promotional purposes. Consent will be sought where possible, and refusal will be respected.

9. Privacy

Personal information collected by DMTA will be used only for coaching, administration, and communication purposes in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

10. Independent Operation

DMTA and its coaches operate independently and are not affiliated with any other tennis club or academy. Any marketing or advertising by DMTA is general in nature and directed to the public, not to specific players or members of other organisations. Players and parents choose to participate in DMTA programs voluntarily and on their own initiative. DMTA does not solicit or induce players or staff to leave other clubs or academies.

11. Future Locations

These terms apply to sessions conducted at private homes, rented courts, or any future DMTA facilities. Participants acknowledge that DMTA may update safety procedures as facilities are introduced.

By booking or attending a session, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Service & Participation Waiver.
