TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Disclaimer:
The Chickasaw Nation reserves the right to refuse the use of the gym to any person or organization without
stating the reason for doing so, and reserves the right to impose special conditions where the nature of the
use, in the Chickasaw Nation’s opinion, so demands. Recreation staff will be responsible for the general
oversight of the gym. However, the individual and/or organization signing this Application and General Use
Agreement shall be the responsible party, hereinafter “licensee” and shall assume the complete responsibility
for, and hold the Chickasaw Nation harmless from, any and all damages, losses or injuries during the event.
Licensee shall be the sole point of contact for this event. The licensee is required to be present for the majority
of the event, including opening, closing and must go over the cleaning check list with staff before leaving. The
licensee shall also assume all responsibility for any support materials or equipment for the event. Events held
by licensees within the gym do not represent the position of the Chickasaw Nation. *THE CHICKASAW
NATION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS*.
Reservations:
The Chickasaw Nation Gym is reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. The gym shall be reserved at least
two weeks before an event, but no more than three months in advance. Chickasaw citizens may reserve the
gym once every three months. Special requests to reserve the gym outside of this time frame are subject to
review by the executive officer or designee. Must be 18 years or older to reserve the gym.
Cleaning:
At the end of each event, all trash shall be picked up in and around the gym, which includes the basketball
court, bleachers, locker rooms, concession, restrooms, all common areas and parking lots. Trash should be
disposed of in dumpsters located in the parking area of the gym. The concession and restroom areas should
be swept, mopped and any hard surfaces wiped down with sanitary solution. All concession and gym
equipment should be cleaned and returned to its appropriate storage area. The cleaning deposit of $50 will
only be returned provided the gym is left clean as approved by the recreation staff.
Cancellations:
Cancellations shall be given in writing by the licensee at least one week prior to the event. Missing this
deadline will result in forfeiture of deposit. Written notices of cancellations should be delivered to the
Chickasaw Nation Gym Recreation Office, 714 Orchard Street, Ada, Oklahoma.
Damages/Repairs:
Any Chickasaw Nation-owned equipment or other property, whether personal or real, damaged, destroyed,
stolen or abused during an event shall be replaced and/or repaired by licensee within 30 days. The cleaning
deposit of $50 may be retained until such repairs are made or to cover the losses or damages to any
equipment or property. The Chickasaw Nation reserves the right to seek any and all legal redress against the
licensee for all losses or damages. Failure to cover the losses sustained by the Chickasaw Nation may result in
the licensee losing his privileges of the Chickasaw Nation gym.
Jurisdiction:
This Chickasaw Nation Gym Application and General Use Agreement and any accompanying documents shall
be performed within applicable guidelines, resolutions and statutes of the Chickasaw Nation. State law shall
not be applicable nor shall disputes be subject to any authority outside the Chickasaw Nation. The parties will
use their best efforts to amicably resolve any dispute. However, nothing contained in this form or any
accompanying documents shall be construed to waive the sovereign rights of the Chickasaw Nation, Its
officers, employees or agents. Licensee, and its participants, hereby consent and agree to the personal
jurisdiction of the Chickasaw Nation for any disputes arising from the licensee’s event, this form or any
accompanying documents.
