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 the congregation
of groups of people.
La Jolla Fencing Academy (“LJFA”) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the
spread of COVID-19; however, LJFA cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not
become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending LJFA could increase your risk and your
child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of Communicable Diseases,
including without limitation COVID-19, any related strain of COVID-19, and any and all other
Communicable Diseases ("Communicable Diseases") and voluntarily assume the risk that my
child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by Communicable Diseases, by attending LJFA
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 Communicable
Diseases at the LJFA may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others,
including, but not limited to, LJFA 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 the LJFA or
participation in LJFA programming (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I
hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the LJFA, its employees,
officers, directors, 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 LJFA, its employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives, whether a
Communicable Diseases infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any LJFA
activity.
