By using the Registry, YOU consent and agree to any and all the following terms and conditions and expressly hereby release, waive and forever discharge the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada ("SDRCC") (on its own behalf and on behalf of the OSIC) (including but not limited to their employees, agents, directors, legal successors/assigns, and affiliates), both jointly and severally, from all actions, suits, claims and demands whatsoever, past, present or future, foreseen or unforeseen, arising out of the use of, or reliance on, this Registry.
Terminology: Unless otherwise defined in this document, capitalized terms have the meaning assigned to them as per the UCCMS.
Purpose of the Registry: The Registry is a searchable database of Participants whose eligibility to participate in sport has in some way been restricted due to provisional measures and/or sanctions imposed, for purposes of carrying out the objectives of the UCCMS, the Physical Activity and Sport Act, Abuse-Free Sport and the mandate received by the SDRCC from the Government of Canada for preventing and addressing maltreatment in sport, in accordance with applicable laws (the "Objectives"). Provisional measures and sanctions are applied as part of or as a result of the Abuse-Free Sport complaint management process.
The Registry is necessary to meet the Objectives, including advancing a respectful sport culture that delivers quality, inclusive, accessible, welcoming and safe sport experiences, as per the objectives of the UCCMS. Individuals should have the reasonable expectation when they participate in sport in Canada that it will be in an environment that is free from all forms of Maltreatment and that treats every individual with dignity and respect.
To further these Objectives, relevant information contained on the Registry is publicly searchable.
For more information regarding the information contained on the Registry or applicable limitations, please consult the Policy regarding the Abuse-Free Sport Registry.
