WITH RESPECT TO COVID-19: THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS, COVID-19, HAS BEEN DECLARED A WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC. COVID-19 IS REPORTED TO BE EXTREMELY CONTAGIOUS. THE EXACT METHODS OF SPREAD AND CONTRACTION ARE UNKNOWN, BUT THE VIRUS IS BELIEVED TO SPREAD FROM PERSON-TO-PERSON, BY CONTACT WITH CONTAMINATED OBJECTS, AND IN THE AIR. PEOPLE REPORTEDLY CAN BE INFECTED AND SHOW NO SYMPTOMS YET STILL SPREAD THE DISEASE. COVID-19 IS REPORTED TO CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS AND DEATH. NEITHER CIADA NOR THE CIADA PARTIES CAN PREVENT YOU FROM BECOMING EXPOSED TO, CONTRACTING, OR SPREADING COVID-19 WHILE ON THEIR PREMISES, AT A CIADA EVENT OR ACTIVITY, OR PERFORMING ANY ACTION FOR OR ON BEHALF OF CIADA OR THE CIADA PARTIES. ANY IN-PERSON INTERACTION WITH, AT, OR FOR CIADA OR THE CIADA PARTIES MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF CONTRACTING OR SPREADING COVID-19. I AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THESE SPECIFIC RISKS AND NONETHELESS ACCEPT THEM IN ORDER TO UTILIZE CIADA’S SERVICES AND TO ATTEND AN EVENT OR ACTIVITY. THESE SERVICES ARE OF SUCH VALUE TO ME THAT I ACCEPT THE RISK OF BEING EXPOSED TO, CONTRACTING, AND/OR SPREADING COVID-19 IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN PERSON RATHER THAN ARRANGING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF PARTICIPATING OR NOT PARTICIPATING AT ALL. I FURTHER HEREBY FOREVER RELEASE AND WAIVE ALL CLAIMS AND RIGHTS AGAINST CIADA AND THE CIADA PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH EXPOSURE, INFECTION, AND/OR SPREAD OF COVID-19 RELATED TO UTILIZING THEIR SERVICES OR PREMISES OR INTERACTING WITH THEIR MEMBERS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER MEANS I GIVE UP MY RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIMS INCLUDING FOR PERSONAL INJURIES, DEATH, DISEASE, PROPERTY LOSSES, OR ANY OTHER LOSS THAT MAY BE RELEASED AND WAIVED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS OF NEGLIGENCE, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER PREVENTS ME FROM SEEKING DAMAGES IN ANY WAY AGAINST CIADA OR THE CIADA PARTIES, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN, OR THAT OCCUR NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
