Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19
This Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19 is an amendment to the Waiver of Liability between TAEKWONDOJANG and Buyer and Student(s) listed below. It is not meant to supplant the Waiver of Liability. All terms and conditions of the Waiver of Liability remain in full force.
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.
Taekwondojang has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, Taekwondojang cannot guarantee that Buyer or their Student(s) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending Taekwondojang could increase Buyer's risk and Student(s)’ risk of contracting COVID-19.
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that Buyer and Student(s) may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending Taekwondojang 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 Taekwondojang may result from the actions or omissions, of myself (the Buyer), the Student(s), and others, including, but not limited to, Taekwondojang 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 Student(s) or myself (Buyer), including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death, illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind (including attorney’s fees, court costs, and disbursements), that Buyer or Student(s) may experience or incur in connection with Student(s)’ attendance at Taekwondojang or participation in Taekwondojang programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of Student(s), I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Taekwondojang, 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 or omissions of Taekwondojang, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Taekwondojang program. The provisions of this section will continue in full force and effect even after termination of the Membership Agreement.
If the Student(s) is a/are minor(s), the undersigned certifies that he or she is the parent or guardian with legal responsibility for the Student(s), and further consents and agrees to all provisions regarding the Student(s) below, on behalf of the Student(s) and for all Student(s)' parents or guardians.
