In consideration of being allowed access to Baltimore Yearly Meeting’s (BYM) Youth Programs In-Person programming, the undersigned acknowledges, appreciates, and agrees that: The coronavirus (COVID-19) has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and can spread from person-to-person and from contact with infected surfaces. Any interaction with others includes possible exposure to and illness from communicable diseases including, but not limited to, influenza and COVID-19. While particular rules and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of contagion, serious illness, injury, disability, and death does exist in any interaction with others. I acknowledge and understand this risk, and I participate in BYM’s programming voluntarily, assuming full responsibility for engaging in the activities that have brought me to BYM’s programming. BYM has implemented the health and safety precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), including requiring visitors, vendors and employees to use face coverings in public areas. I willingly agree to comply with these health and safety requirements, and to take all reasonable and necessary additional precautions to protect against communicable diseases while participating in BYM’s events, not only for my benefit but for the benefit of others with whom I come in contact. If I observe any objects, practices or procedures I believe to be hazardous while I am at a BYM event related to COVID-19 infection or exposure, I will remove myself from the location of such hazard, and will bring it to the attention of BYM immediately. On behalf of myself and my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, to the fullest extent permitted by law, I hereby fully and forever release and hold harmless BYM, its owners, officers, directors, representatives, officials, agents, employees, successors, assigns from and against any and all claims, demands, rights of action, suits, judgments, losses or expenses of any nature (including without limitation attorney’s fees, costs and disbursements), arising out of, or relating directly or indirectly to, exposure to contagious illnesses (including influenza and COVID19) at BYM’s events. This includes claims that arise from my own and others’ actions and omission, excepting only those which arise from the gross negligence, recklessness or intentional torts of the BYM Releasees. I will defend and indemnify BYM Releasees with respect to any released claim. By signing this waiver and release, I acknowledge and agree that I understand the contagious nature of COVID19, and I voluntarily assume the risk that I, my children, or anyone for whose health I may be responsible may become infected, exposed, or otherwise contract COVID19 while at BYM events. I acknowledge that I have joined BYM events for my personal benefit and satisfaction.
