COVID Waiver & Release
COVID WAIVER & RELEASE
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, I, the undersigned, agree to execute this waiver and release (the "Release") with respect to SHUFFLES and its respective related parents, affiliates and subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, directors, principals, agents, and partners ("Company"). I hereby agree to the following:
1. Hazardous Activity: I understand that there is an on-going COVID-19 pandemic. I hereby acknowledge that I am agreeing to allow a child under the age of 18 for whom I am the legal parent or guardian (the "Participant") to participate in dance-related activities provided by the Company (the "Activity") of my own volition, with the acknowledgment that such Activity may expose the Participant, and any other individual with whom the Participant resides or comes into contact, to the COVID-19 virus or any possible mutations thereof and/or any other similar or entirely new virus yet to be discovered (individually and collectively referred to herein as the "Virus"). Further, I understand that given the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Activity carries certain risks which are inherently dangerous, and may result in mental and/or emotional distress, illness (which may include, but shall not be limited to, a myriad of symptoms both known and unknown, including cough, fever, chills, muscle or body aches, sore throat, gastrointestinal issues (e.g., nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea), new loss of taste or smell, headache, congestion or runny nose, and/or shortness of breath/difficulty breathing), multi-system inflammatory syndrome and/or death. I hereby agree and acknowledge that I am allowing the Participant to participate in the Activity with full and complete knowledge of the potential risks and dangers involved (including, without limitation, those set forth above) and I am voluntarily assuming full responsibility for all known and unknown risks, hazards and dangers arising from, or related in any way to, my or the Participant's participation in the Activity and travel in connection therewith, however caused, whether by negligence or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, I acknowledge that in the event l'or anyone with whom I reside contracts the Virus at any time before or after the date hereof, I will be unable to ascertain where or how I was exposed to it due to the fact that the Virus is highly widespread and contagious and can spread easily and exponentially between people and potentially through direct contact with everyday objects.
2. Representations and warranties: 1 represent and warrant that (i) I am the parent or legal guardian of a Participant who wishes to participate in the Activity; (ii) the Participant is good health and has no medical, physical, or emotional condition that will or might interfere with him/her engaging in the Activity (this includes, without limitation, that I and the Participant have not in the past fourteen (14) days experienced symptoms generally associated with COVID-19, have not tested positive for COVID-19, have not been identified as a carrier of COVID-19, have not been in close contact (e.g., within six [6] feet for a prolonged period of time or having direct contact with infections secretions) with any person who has tested positive for COVID-19, have not displayed any of the symptoms generally associated with COVID-19), and have not had a fever (of 100.4°F or greater) within the past seventy-two (72) hours without the use of medicine that reduces fever; (iii) I and the Participant shall follow all guidelines provided by Company, and shall wear protective gear consistent with current guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (e.g., a cloth face covering) during entrance/exit from the Activity and keep a safe distance of at least six (6) feet away from others to the extent reasonably practicable, but I acknowledge that this alone may not be adequate to protect me or the Participant from contracting COVID-19; (iv) I have consulted the Participant's physician regarding the advisability from a physical and emotional health perspective regarding the Activity and the potential risks associated therewith; and (v) I am voluntarily allowing the Participant to participate in the Activity.
3. Assumption of Risk and Release: To the maximum extent permitted by law, I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, executors, agents, successors and assigns, hereby release, hold harmless, and forever discharge Company, and each of their respective parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, principals, agents, partners, representatives, employees and contractors (the "Released Parties"), from any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, injuries or causes of action whatsoever that in any way are caused by, arise out of or result from this Release, the Activity, the Participant's presence at or travel to any location in connection with participation in the Activity, on any legal theory whatsoever regardless of whether caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Released Parties (collectively, the "Released Claims"). I will indemnify and hold the Released Parties harmless from any and all such claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, injuries or causes of action, as well as all those that in any way are caused by, arise out of or result from any breach or alleged breach by myself or the Participant of any of the representations or warranties made by me in this Release,
4. Notification: I agree that if in the next 14 days I learn or have reason to believe that I, the Participant, or someone with whom I or the Participant have had close contact in the past 14 days developed COVID-19 symptoms, tested positive for COVID-19, or was otherwise been identified as a carrier of COVID-19, I will promptly inform the Company.
5. I EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY IS INTENDED TO BE AS BROAD AND AS INCLUSIVE AS IS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND THAT IF ANY PORTION HEREOF IS HELD INVALID, IT IS AGREED THAT THE BALANCE SHALL, NOTWITHSTANDING, CONTINUE IN FULL LEGAL FORCE AND EFFECT.
6. AM EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OR OLDER. I HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM ASSUMING THE FULL RISK OF, AND RELEASING AND HOLDING HARMLESS THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM, ANY INJURY, DEATH OR DAMAGE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INJURY OR DEATH RESULTING FROM CONTRACTING COVID-19) CONNECTED IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITY. I FURTHER AGREE THAT NO ORAL REPRESENTATIONS, STATEMENTS OR INDUCEMENTS ON THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF APART FROM THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN MADE. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND A CONTRACT BETWEEN ME AND THE RELEASED PARTIES THAT GOVERNS OUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND I SIGN IT OF MY OWN FREE WILL.
7. This Release shall be deemed to be entered into in the State of New York and shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York without regard to that state's or country's choice of law provisions.
