ECC Coronavirus/COVID-19 Waiver
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 or limited the congregation of groups of people.
Glen Rock Jewish Center has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, GRJC cannot guarantee that you or anyone in your family will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending GRJC in-person activities could increase your risk and your family’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 family and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending GRJC-related 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 GRJC-related activities may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, GRJC employees, volunteers, and GRJC-related activity participants and their families.
I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my family 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 family may experience or incur in connection with my our attendance at GRJC or participation in GRJC-related activities (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children under the age of 18 years, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless GRJC, 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, omissions, or negligence of GRJC, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any GRJC-related activity.
I understand and agree that the law of the State of New Jersey will apply to this Waiver of Liability.
I HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND ALL PROVISIONS OF THIS WAIVER OF LIABILITY, AND FREELY AND KNOWINGLY ASSUME THE RISK AND WAIVE MY RIGHTS CONCERNING LIABILITY AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
