Assumption of Risk & Waiver of Liability Relating to the 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.
Keller Elite Martial Arts (RKJJ LLC Roberto Kaelin Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, referred to as the “academy”) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the academy cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending the academy could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
By agreeing to these terms, 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 the academy and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and/or death.
I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the academy may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, academy 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 own or my child(ren)’s attendance at the academy or participation in the academy’s programming (“Claims”).
On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, agree not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the academy, 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 to training at the academy.
I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the academy, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any academy program.
