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, including individuals without disease symptoms. 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.

 

The DINAMITE VOLLEYBALL CLUB (hereafter referred to as the “DVC”) cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending sanctioned DVC activities could increase your risk or your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.

By accepting this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily agree to the participation terms described above and assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending the sanctioned activity and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death.

 

In addition to the foregoing, I also acknowledge that novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) infection have been confirmed throughout the United States, including cases in the State of California.

 

I hereby agree, represent, and warrant that I and/or my child(ren):

 

i) are not experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 as described by the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/symptoms.html), including, without limitation, fever, cough, or shortness of breath.

ii) do not have a suspected or diagnosed/confirmed case of COVID-19 and agree that should this change at any time; I will immediately notify DINAMITE VOLLEYBALL CLUB.

 

I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the DVC sanctioned activities may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, DVC 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 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 attendance at the Association’s sanctioned activities (“Claims”).

 

I further acknowledge and agree that due to the nature of volleyball played at the DVC’s sanctioned activities, social distancing of 6 feet per person may not be possible at all times. I fully understand and appreciate both the known and potential dangers of performing this activity, and acknowledge that, despite Dinamite Volleyball Club’s reasonable efforts to mitigate such dangers, this activity may result in exposure to COVID-19, which could result in quarantine requirements, serious illness, disability, and/or death. I agree that, by participating in this contracted engagement, and by accepting the consideration received, I am expressly assuming the risk of such participation for myself and/or my child(ren).

 

On my behalf, and on behalf of my child(ren), I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the DVC, 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 the DVC, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Association activity.
