Corona Virus Waiver of Liability
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.
Apple Valley Gymnastics ("AVG") has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, AVG cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending AVG 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 AVG 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 AVG may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, AVG employees, 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 AVG or participation in AVG programs ("Claims"). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless AVG, 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 AVG, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any AVG program.
Because of restrictions placed upon AVG by the Washington State Department of Health and AVG's commitment to safety, I agree to follow the COVID-19 protocols as stated in the Apple Valley Gymnastics COVID-19 Exposure Control, Mitigation, and Recovery Plan.
