Members are aware that playing football, observing football, learning to play football, training to play football, and participating in any activity carried out by the Club, are activities that inherently involve risk and that in undertaking these activities members and their children do so at his/her own risk.

Members understand and agree that nothing in their agreement to register with the Club purports to exclude any liability that may be owed by the Club or their representatives pursuant to the provisions of any relevant statute covering their activities and which may not be excluded by agreement. To the extent that any part of this agreement may contravene any statute members agree that such part of the agreement shall be severed and rendered void but the rest of the agreement will remain valid and continue to have full force and effect.
Members agree (on their own behalf and for their child and all other parents guardians or relatives of their child) that they have familiarised themselves with, and will abide by and be bound by, the Club’s Policies, rules, by-laws and Code of Conduct, as published and amended from time to time. Members acknowledge that failure to do so may result in the termination of their membership and de-registration of their child from the Club, at the absolute discretion of the Club’s management committee.
Members authorise the Club to upload their email details to an email distribution client for the purpose of the Club sending periodic emails in relation to club events and notices.
Members authorise the Club to use photographs or videos of their child in Club communications, including articles and events on the Club website, social media and other similar platforms. Any photographs or videos so shared by the Club, maybe subsequently shared beyond the Club’s platforms.
Members understand that the Club may publish any media for the purpose of promoting any or all club related events. Subiaco AFC promotes responsible social media use and any offensive or discriminatory comments will be removed and the player and/or guardian will be disciplined as deemed appropriate by the Management Committee. This includes comments or posts that contradict the Club’s Code of Conduct or Football West’s Code of Behaviour.
Members understand that the Club is an organisation that is reliant upon volunteer contributions and that every member’s registration is conditional upon their contribution to one of the areas indicated in the Volunteer Contribution section of the registration process.
Members understand that all players participating in 8s-18s teams will be graded in accordance with Club policy. Allocation of players to specific teams is at the sole discretion of the Club.
Members understand that requests for a refund of registration fees must be in writing to the Club Secretary. The Management Committee will decide what, if any refund shall be provided. In general, refunds will provided to a member before any activities commence for the season. Once grading or training commences, players have been allocated to a team or playing kit has been issued, refunds are at the absolute discretion of the Management Committee, who shall consider each case on its merits. Players who choose to move to another club once the season commences will be unlikely to receive any refund as this causes immense disruption to the team and the Club.
