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.
Grosse Ile Youth Recreation Association (“GIYRA”) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, GIYRA cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending GIYRA activities 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 GIYRA activities 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 GIYRA activities may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, GIYRA, SEBA, and the Grosse Ile School District, 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 or participation in GIYRA activities. (“Claims”) on my behalf, and on the behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the GIYRA organization, SEBA, and the Grosse Ile School District, its employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, Claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of relating thereto. I understand and that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of GIYRA, SEBA, and the Grosse Ile School District, it employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any GIYRA program.
