Yes

I hereby acknowledge the aggreement not to litigate or sue CSA or it's office bearers *

AGREEMENT NOT TO LITIGATE OR SUE CSA OR ITS OFFICE BEARERS

I acknowledge that: 
• CSA’s efforts and support allow my participation in events. 
• Noting the contribution and the efforts of administrators and officials of CSA, who I acknowledge are mainly unpaid volunteers without whom our sport, and in particular the competitive aspect of our sport, could not survive; 
• Noting that to subject CSA and its office bearers to the threat of litigation and/or to institute litigation against CSA is untenable and could destroy the fabric of the sports under the authority of CSA
In full appreciation of this, I acknowledge and indemnify CSA and any of its office bearers or assistants of any legal liability or responsibility in connection with the administration, management and/or operation of members of any team at any competitive events, and further agree and undertake not to institute any legal action or legal processes against CSA in any court of law in connection with my selection. Further that if any breach of this undertaking occurs that necessitates legal action by CSA that I would be responsible and liable for the full costs if that action.
I also appreciate that if I institute any form of legal action against CSA or its office bearers I will be immediately suspended from the federation and will not be eligible to compete in any CSA or ICF sanctioned events until such time as the issue is resolved.
