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. The Eastern Iowa Horse & Pony Camp has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the Eastern Iowa Horse & Pony Camp cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participation could increase your risk of contracting COVID-19.
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my camper may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participation; 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 the Eastern Iowa Horse & Pony Camp of the current year of this registration may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of my mentor/camper and others, including, but not limited to, Eastern Iowa Horse & Pony Camp employees, volunteers, directors, and program participants and their families.
By signing this agreement, I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my mentor/camper (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that they may experience or incur in connection with their participation at The Eastern Iowa Horse & Pony Camp of the current registration year. On my behalf, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Eastern Iowa Horse & Pony Camp, its employees, agents, volunteers, directors, 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 the Eastern Iowa Horse & Pony Camp, its employees, agents, volunteers, directors, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation at The Eastern Iowa Horse & Pony Camp of the current registration year.
By signing this agreement, I represent that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or illness my mentor/camper may suffer or cause while participating in this activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or illness myself. I further represent that my camper has no medical or physical condition which could interfere with their safety in this activity, or else I am willing to assume and bear the costs of all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.
By signing this document, I agree that if my camper is exposed or infected by COVID-19 during their participation in this activity, then I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against the parties being released on the basis of any claim for negligence.
By signing this document, I have had sufficient time to read this entire document and, should I choose to do so, consult with legal counsel prior to signing. Also, I understand that this activity might not be made available to my mentor/camper or that the cost to engage in this activity would be significantly greater if I were to choose not to sign this release, and agree that the opportunity to participate at the stated cost in return for the execution of this release is a reasonable bargain. I have read and understood this document and I agree to be bound by its terms.
By signing this document, if I have signed a separate general waiver of liability connected to my mentor/camper participation at the Eastern Iowa Horse Pony Camp of the current year that is being registered, I agree that the terms of that waiver are wholly incorporated into this document and that the terms of this document are incorporated into the separate general waiver.
By signing this document, in consideration of myself and/or minor being permitted to participate in this activity, I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless releases from any claims alleging negligence which are brought by or on behalf of minor or are in any way connected with such participation by minor. By signing this document, I acknowledge that I have read and understand the Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19 waiver.
