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 groups from congregating.

We, Carly’s Way, have implemented reasonable preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, including requests that volunteers and other participants at its events use face masks and maintain social distancing 10 feet. However, Carly’s Way cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, by participating in Carly’s Way events and/or volunteering for Carly’s Way events, you could increase your risk of contracting COVID-19.

THE FOLLOWING AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU ARE ADVISED TO SEEK ADVICE FROM AN ATTORNEY BEFORE EXECUTING THE FOLLOWING WAIVER AND RELEASE.

By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending and/or participating in Carly’s Way events 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 may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, the Carly’s Way members, volunteers, clients, and their families and friends.

I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any possible injury to me and any member of my family (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my family members may experience or incur in connection with attending and/or participating in Carly’s Way events or activities (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children and family, if any, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Carly’s Way, its employees, agents, and representatives, 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 Carly’s Way, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after my participation in or attendance at Carly’s Way events and activities.
