The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies have recommended and implemented various guidelines over the course of the pandemic and may do so again in the future. Dance Moves Maine will follow any guidelines and implement preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, it cannot be guaranteed that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. 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 Dance Moves Maine 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 at the Dance Moves Maine facility may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Dance Moves Maine employees, 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), myself or my family (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I, my family, or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance at Dance Moves Maine or participation in Dance Moves Maine classes (“Claims”).
I, as parent/guardian, with legal responsibility for this participant, have read and explained the provisions in this waiver/release to my child/ward including the risks of presence and participation and their personal responsibilities for adhering to the rules and regulations for protection against communicable diseases. Furthermore, my child/ward understands and accepts these risks and responsibilities. On my behalf, and on behalf of my child(ren), I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Dance Moves Maine, its employees, 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 Dance Moves Maine, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Dance Moves Maine program.
