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 congregation of groups of people.
Mach Martial Arts Inc. has put in place preventive measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, Mach Martial Arts Inc. cannot guarantee that you and/or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending Mach Martial Arts Inc. 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 Mach Martial Arts Inc. 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 and/or infected by COVID-19 at Mach Martial Arts Inc. may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and/or others, including, but not limited to, Mach Martial Arts Inc. employees, volunteers, 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 Mach Martial Arts Inc. or participation in Mach Martial Arts Inc. programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my child(ren), I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Mach Martial Arts Inc., 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 Mach Martial Arts Inc., its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any of its programs.
