15. INTERPRETATION & ENFORCEMENT

This Agreement shall be interpreted broadly to provide the maximum legal protection to SMASH Indoor Sports.

16. FACILITY USE, SPACE LIMITATIONS & EQUIPMENT RESPONSIBILITY

Participants, teams, members, and guests may use ONLY the specific cage, lane, turf area, or space that has been rented, reserved, or assigned.

Use of any space not rented or assigned, without prior authorization from SMASH Indoor Sports staff, constitutes unauthorized use.

If unauthorized space is used, I acknowledge and agree that SMASH Indoor Sports has the sole and absolute discretion to invoice me and/or charge the payment method on file for the full applicable rental rate associated with the unauthorized space used.

All participants must remain within the physical confines of the space paid for at all times. Entering, occupying, or conducting activities outside the rented area is prohibited unless expressly approved by SMASH staff.

EQUIPMENT USE & RESPONSIBILITY:

Use of any SMASH Indoor Sports equipment—including but not limited to balls, tees, screens, goals, pitching machines, L-screens, nets, or training aids—is permitted only for its intended purpose.

All equipment must be returned to its proper designated location after use. Failure to return equipment, improper use, or misuse may result in additional charges.

If any equipment is damaged, broken, lost, or rendered unusable due to misuse, negligence, or failure to follow facility rules, I agree that I may be held financially responsible for repair or full replacement costs, as determined solely by SMASH Indoor Sports.

17. VIDEO SURVEILLANCE, MONITORING & RECORDING ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I acknowledge and agree that SMASH Indoor Sports utilizes continuous video surveillance and recording throughout the facility, including but not limited to common areas, turf areas, cages, lanes, training spaces, entrances, and exterior areas, for purposes including safety, security, loss prevention, training, and operational oversight.

By entering the facility and participating in any activity, I knowingly and voluntarily consent to being recorded on video. I understand that video and audio recordings may capture my actions, conduct, use of space, and use of equipment.

I agree that surveillance footage may be reviewed, retained, and used by SMASH Indoor Sports, in its sole discretion, for purposes including but not limited to:

• Verifying proper or improper use of rented or unauthorized space

• Confirming compliance or non-compliance with facility rules and policies

• Documenting equipment misuse, damage, loss, or unsafe behavior

• Supporting enforcement actions, billing, invoicing, or card charges

• Responding to payment disputes, chargebacks, claims, or legal proceedings

I acknowledge and agree that surveillance footage may be relied upon by SMASH as conclusive evidence in connection with enforcement of this Agreement, including but not limited to unauthorized space usage, equipment damage liability, cancellation disputes, refund determinations, and chargeback defense.

I waive any right to inspect, obtain, or demand copies of surveillance footage, except as required by law, and I release SMASH Indoor Sports from any claims arising out of the lawful use of such surveillance and recordings.
