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. Challenge Sonoma Adventure Ropes Course (CSARC) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, CSARC cannot guarantee that you or your children will not become infected with COVID-19. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my children and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending the ropes course 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 the course may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, CSARC employees 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 children or myself (including but not limited to personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability or expense of any kind, and that I or my children may experience or incur in connection with participation in CSARC programming. I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless CSARC, 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 CSARC, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any CSARC activity.
