Terms & Conditions

Last updated: September 2026

​

Who these terms apply to

These terms and conditions apply to all students, participants, and attendees who register for or attend classes and community events associated with Chaos Magic Skates in Snohomish County, Washington and the greater Seattle area. All Chaos Magic Skates activities are for participants 18 and older unless a specific event listing says otherwise. By registering or participating, you agree to these terms in full.

Registration and payment

Registration is required for all classes. Spots are limited and are not guaranteed until full payment is received and a signed Liability Waiver is on file. Spots are filled on a first-paid, first-served basis, and registration closes when a class is full or 24 hours before the first class, whichever comes first.

Full payment is due at the time of registration. Some classes are offered as full-session enrollment only, with no drop-ins or single class purchases, because each week builds on the last. Community events may have separate registration requirements, which will be noted on the event listing.

Age requirement

All classes and events are for participants 18 and older unless the listing states otherwise. Participants may be asked to show valid ID, and anyone under 18 will not be permitted to take part in an activity that is not explicitly open to minors.

Cancellations, refunds, and transfers

All registration fees, class passes, and session packages are final sale and non-refundable when a participant cancels. No refunds, credits, or prorated fees are issued for participant cancellations, missed classes, illness, schedule conflicts, late arrivals, or early departures.

Registrations are non-transferable to other individuals or to future class sessions. Session packages apply only to the dates and session purchased and do not roll over.

If Chaos Magic Skates cancels a class due to severe weather, facility issues, or unforeseen circumstances, you will receive a refund for the canceled class. Make-up classes and prorated credits are not offered. For outdoor venues, weather-related updates will be sent by email or text at least 1 to 2 hours before class time.

Waitlist

If a class is full, you can join the waitlist at no cost. Joining does not guarantee a spot, and no payment is collected until a spot opens. When a spot opens, waitlisted participants are contacted in the order they joined by email or text and have 24 hours to accept and pay in full before the spot moves to the next person. If a class begins before a spot opens, you will be notified of the next available session. Participants who join the waitlist after the first class has started may not be able to enroll.

Safety and protective gear

The safety of every participant is our top priority.

For all classes, a helmet, wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads are required at every session. Participants without full protective gear will not be permitted to skate and will not receive a refund or make-up credit. Chaos Magic Skates does not provide safety gear or skate rentals unless explicitly stated. Participants are responsible for bringing their own skates and making sure they are in safe, working order before class.

For open community events, protective gear is strongly recommended. Participants who choose to skate without full protective gear do so entirely at their own risk. By participating, you acknowledge that you have been informed of the recommended gear, you understand the physical risks of skating without it, and you voluntarily accept full responsibility for any injury, harm, or loss that results from that decision.

Chaos Magic Skates, its instructors, and its affiliates are released from any and all liability for injuries or damages sustained by a participant who declined to wear recommended protective gear. This release applies whether the participant verbally declined, failed to bring gear, or removed gear during a session.

Assumption of risk and release of liability

Roller skating is a physical activity that carries inherent risks including but not limited to falls, collisions, muscle strain, and injury. By registering for or attending any class or event associated with Chaos Magic Skates, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • You understand and accept that roller skating involves inherent physical risks.

  • You are voluntarily participating with full knowledge of those risks.

  • You are physically capable of participating.

  • You have disclosed any relevant health conditions, physical limitations, or disabilities to Chaos Magic Skates in advance.

  • You agree to release, waive, and discharge Chaos Magic Skates, its owner, instructors, volunteers, partners, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, damages, or liability arising from participation in any class or event, except in cases of gross negligence on the part of Chaos Magic Skates.

A signed Liability Waiver and Assumption of Risk form must be on file before you participate in any class.

Voluntary participation and personal responsibility

Participation in all Chaos Magic Skates classes and events is entirely voluntary. Every participant retains the right to stop participating at any time. By choosing to participate, you accept personal responsibility for your own safety and wellbeing, including decisions about physical exertion and your personal limits.

Chaos Magic Skates hosted community events

Chaos Magic Skates periodically hosts open community skate events that are free and open to the public. These events are not structured classes, and no formal instruction is provided unless explicitly stated. By attending a hosted community event, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • You are participating voluntarily and entirely at your own risk.

  • Chaos Magic Skates is acting as an event organizer and not as your instructor or supervisor during open skate time.

  • You are responsible for your own safety. Protective gear is strongly recommended, and Chaos Magic Skates is not liable for any injury or damage sustained during open community skate events.

  • Event signage, website content, registration forms, and social media postings are considered part of these terms. Attendance at the event constitutes acceptance of these terms, whether or not a separate waiver has been signed.

  • Chaos Magic Skates reserves the right to remove any participant from a community event at any time for any reason, including unsafe behavior, conduct that violates our code of conduct, or failure to follow event guidelines.

Third party and partner community events

Chaos Magic Skates may promote, share, or list community skating events that are organized and hosted by third parties, including Chaos Magic Skates partners, local skating organizations, parks, and community groups. For these events the following applies:

  • Chaos Magic Skates is acting solely as a community information resource by sharing these events.

  • Chaos Magic Skates has no organizational or operational role in third party events and is not responsible for their planning, execution, or safety standards.

  • Attendance at any third party event is entirely at your own risk and subject to that event's own terms, waivers, and safety requirements.

  • Chaos Magic Skates makes no representations or guarantees about the safety, accessibility, or suitability of any third party event.

  • Any concerns, incidents, or disputes arising from a third party event should be directed to that event's organizer and not to Chaos Magic Skates.

  • The presence of a Chaos Magic Skates listing or promotion of a third party event does not constitute an endorsement of that event or its organizers.

By attending any event listed or promoted by Chaos Magic Skates that is hosted by a third party, you agree that Chaos Magic Skates bears no liability whatsoever for anything that occurs at that event.

Minors at events that are open to them

Minors may attend only those events whose listing explicitly states that minors are welcome. In those cases, minors must be registered or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. By bringing a minor to such an event, the parent or guardian confirms they have the authority to do so, accepts these terms and the assumption of risk on the minor's behalf, and consents to the minor's participation with full understanding of the risks involved. A parent or guardian must be reachable by phone during any event their child attends.

Parents or guardians who allow a minor to participate without full protective gear confirm that this decision was made knowingly and voluntarily, and that Chaos Magic Skates is fully released from liability for any injury resulting from that decision.

For third party events, parents and guardians are solely responsible for reviewing that event's own policies regarding minors before allowing their child to attend.

Code of conduct

Chaos Magic Skates is committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for everyone. We ask that all participants, caregivers, and attendees treat others, staff, and facility rules with respect at all classes and hosted events. Discriminatory, harassing, threatening, disruptive, or unsafe behavior will not be tolerated and may result in removal from a class or event without a refund.

Photography and media

We occasionally photograph or record classes and community events for use on our website and social media. If you do not wish to be photographed, please let us know before your class or event. We will never share images of minors without explicit parental consent. Chaos Magic Skates has no control over photography or media at third party events and is not responsible for how those events handle media.

General liability

Chaos Magic Skates is not liable for injuries, losses, or damages that occur during classes or hosted events except where caused by gross negligence on our part. We are not responsible for lost or stolen personal belongings at any class or event location. We bear no liability whatsoever for anything that occurs at a third party event we have listed or promoted.

Acknowledgment and agreement

By completing registration for any Chaos Magic Skates class, attending any hosted community event, or attending any third party event listed or promoted by Chaos Magic Skates, you confirm that you have read and understood these terms in full, you agree to be bound by them, and you accept the assumption of risk and release of liability described above. If bringing a minor to an event that is open to minors, you confirm you have the authority to accept these terms on their behalf.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued participation after any changes means you accept the updated terms.
