Covid-19 Waiver
The 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. Études de Ballet has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, Études de Ballet cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending Études de Ballet in-person classes/ rehearsals could increase your risk and your child(ren)'s risk of contracting 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 Études de Ballet in-person classes/ rehearsals, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. Although Études de Ballet has taken the above-referenced measures to keep all children and parents safe, I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at Études de Ballet may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Études de Ballet, representatives, volunteers, students 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 illness, death, damages, 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 Études de Ballet. On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Études de Ballet, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of Études de Ballet, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during or after participation at Études de Ballet. Should your health status change at any point in time, you are obligated to notify the studio.
