Pied Piper White Pond Community Arts Covid-19, Illness and Injury Waiver

Although every effort is made to create a safe environment, I acknowledge that there is risk involved in participating in group activities. I assume risks of participating in Pied Piper programming and waive, release and discharge The Pied Piper Players/ White Pond Arts and Cultural Association, Carolyn Nielsen, and any of her employees, independent contractors, third parties and any and all related parties from all liability for any damage, loss or injury arising out of my child’s participation in White Pond Community Arts programming.
                        
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 large groups of people.
                        
The Pied PIper Players White Pond Arts and Cultural Association, Carolyn Nielsen and her affiliates (collectively, “White Pond Community Arts”) have put in place preventative measures to hopefully reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, White Pond Community Arts can in no way guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending organized workshops could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
                        
By registering for this workshop, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending White Pond Community Arts programming 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 White Pond Community Arts may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, White Pond Community Arts, its board, independent contractors, 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 my child(ren)’s attendance at White Pond Community Arts. On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless White Pond Community Arts, its employees, independent contractors, affiliated agents, and representative, 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 White Pond Community Arts, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection or other injury or illness occurs before, during, or after participation in any White Pond Community Arts program.
                        
There are no refunds of any kind whatsoever. I have read and understand this waiver and release and I fully understand its contents.
