Acknowledgment
By registering to play in the National Universities Padel League (NUPL), every player confirms and agrees to the following terms. These form part of NUPL player registration for the 2026/27 season.
Eligibility: I am a currently enrolled student at the university I represent, and I am aged 18 or over. Rules: I have read, and will follow, the NUPL Rules and Regulations 2026/27 (nupl.co.uk/info/rules).
Risk: padel is a physical sport. I understand that taking part in NUPL matches and events carries an inherent risk of injury, illness, loss or damage, and I take part voluntarily and at my own risk.
Liability: nothing in this Acknowledgement excludes or limits NUPL's liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, NUPL, its organisers and volunteers are not liable for any injury, loss or damage arising from my participation.
Insurance: NUPL's insurance covers only its own legal liability as the event organiser. It does not provide personal accident, medical, travel or equipment cover. It does not cover injuries caused by contact during play (for example, a collision with a partner or opponent), or loss of or damage to my belongings. I am strongly advised to hold personal sports accident insurance that covers padel. Fitness and medical needs: I am responsible for being fit to play. If I have a medical condition, or need reasonable adjustments or special equipment, I will tell NUPL before the event.
Venues: matches take place at independently run venues, and I will follow each venue's rules. Incidents: I will report any accident or injury at an NUPL event to the NUPL official on site. I will not admit liability, or make any offer or promise of payment, on NUPL's behalf.
Conduct and safeguarding: I will treat opponents, officials and spectators with respect. I understand that safeguarding concerns are handled under the NUPL Safeguarding Policy.
Data: my personal data will be used to run the league, as set out in the NUPL Privacy Policy. Consent to the use of my image is separate and optional.
