By entering my full legal name below I acknowledge and agree that I will be participating in group walk sessions with friends and supporters of Sankara Healthcare Foundation (“SHF”). The walk sessions are NOT offered as an official program of Sankara Healthcare Foundation and I recognize that I voluntarily participate in them with full knowledge that there is a risk of personal injury, even serious or disabling.                                                                    I hold myself fully responsible for my participation and make sure that my place of practice is as safe as possible.                                                                         I understand that the walk is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment and that some walk exercises are not safe under certain medical conditions. I understand that the level of my participation in this exercise program and which exercises I perform must be determined by me, in consultation with my physician, and that SHF cannot monitor the extent of my participation.  I acknowledge that it is my responsibility if an injury occurs.                                                                                     I understand and acknowledge that if I choose to participate in any activity associated with SHF’s name or logo, it is of my own volition and free will, and with full knowledge of my medical condition and history.  If my medical condition should change, I understand that it is my responsibility to discontinue the exercise program and to immediately consult with my physician about continuing or resuming participation in this program.      Accordingly, I, the undersigned, and for my heirs, executors, representatives, and assigned, HEREBY WAIVE AND RELEASE, indemnify, holds harmless and forever discharge SHF and the instructor, and its members, agents, employees, officers, directors, contractors, affiliates, successors and assigns (the “releasees”), of and from any and all claims, demands, debts, prosecutions, expenses, causes of action, lawsuits, damages and liabilities, of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, in law or equity, that I ever had or may have, arising from or in any way related to participation in any of the events or activities conducted by, or for the benefit of, the Releasees (including injury and/or death), or any medical treatment, aid, or assistance rendered to me by the Releasees, provided that this waiver of liability does not apply to any acts of gross negligence, or intentional, willful or wanton misconduct; it is acknowledged that operation during the pandemic does not fall into these categories.                                                            I assume any and all risk associated with any activity and take full responsibility and waive any claims of personal injury, COVID-19 infection, death or damage to personal property associated with SHF. I have read, understand and fully agree to the terms of this Waiver and Release. I understand and confirm that by signing my full legal name below I have given up considerable future legal rights. I have signed this Agreement freely, voluntarily, under no duress or threat of duress, without inducement, promise or guarantee being communicated to me. My signature is proof of my intention to execute a complete and unconditional WAIVER AND RELEASE of all liability to the full extent of the law. I am 18 year of age or older and mentally competent to enter into this waiver.
