FUNDAMENTALS FIRST ACADEMY CORONA VIRUS WAIVER AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

In addition 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.
Fundamentals First Academy has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, Fundamentals First Academy cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participating in any camps/clinic 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) or I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participating 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 may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including but not limited to, employees, agents, coaches, counselors, 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 or my child(ren)’s attendance or participation. On my behalf, and on behalf of my child(ren) I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Fundamentals First Academy, its employees, agents, volunteers, coaches, counselors, and representatives of and from any 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 Fundamentals First Academy, its employees, agents, coaches, counselors, volunteers and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during or after participation in any camp/clinic.
