JCMDS
Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.
Julie’s Creative Movement & Dance Studio, from here on known as JCMDS, has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, JCMDS cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending JCMDS could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
Please feel free to consult with your lawyer regarding this document which may affect your legal rights.
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending JCMDS dance classes and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death.
I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 in dance class may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, JCMDS instructors, volunteers, and program participants and their families.
I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself, including, (but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance at the JCMDS Dance Studio or participation in JCMDS programming. On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Julie’s Creative Movement & Dance Studio, it’s instructors, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of JCMDS, its instructors, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any JCMDS program.
