Hold Harmless, Release and Waiver of Liability Related to COVID-19
The Homer Youth String Orchestra Club (HYSOC) plans to allow in person group practice to take place. In consideration for being permitted to participate in HYSOC, I , on behalf of myself and my minor children, agree and consent to the following:
1. I affirm that neither I, nor any person residing in my household, including the actual participant(s) in the HYSOC, has been diagnosed with, demonstrated any symptoms of, or have in any way knowingly been exposed to any communicable diseases, including the Novel Coronavirus Disease known as COVID-19 within the past thirty (30) calendar days;
2. I acknowledge that I am aware that by entering the premises where HYSOC is being held that there is a risk to me and my minor children of being exposed to COVID-19, and/or any mutation or variation thereof. I am also aware that such an exposure can occur either directly or indirectly whether or not a mask and-or gloves are worn and that HYSOC cannot guarantee that by entering the practice spaces during rehearsals that there will be no exposure to COVID-19;
3. I understand that while certain individuals are more susceptible to becoming seriously ill if they contract COVID-19 (such as people over 65, people with serious underlying health conditions, and those with compromised immune systems), anyone, including a healthy person, is susceptible to contracting COVID-19. By signing this Waiver of Liability, I fully and knowingly agree to ASSUME ALL RISKS associated with attendance and potential exposure which may include potential exposure to the COVID-19 virus for myself and any minor children whom I consent to attend HYSOC;
4. I hereby voluntarily agree to RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE and COVENANT NOT TO SUE HYSOC and/or its officers, Board members, employees, contractors and-or volunteers; including participants, owners of the premises. By signing this document, HYSOC WILL BE RELEASED FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY .
BY SIGNING BELOW, I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE; THAT I AM THE PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF THE MINOR CHILD(REN) WHOM I ACCOMPANY OR ALLOW TO PARTICIPATE IN HYSOC; AND THAT I KNOWINGLY AGREE TO RELEASE AND WAIVE ANY CLAIM OR LEGAL CAUSE OF ACTION THAT I OR MY CHILDREN MAY HAVE AGAINST HYSOC.
