Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19

The Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit ("JCC") has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the JCC cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participation could increase your risk of contracting COVID-19.

By agreeing to this waiver, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participation; and that such exposure or infection may result in a personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the JCC may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself, others, including, but not limited to, the JCC's 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 myself (including but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I may experience or incur in connection with COVID-19 and with my participation at the JCC. On my behalf, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless JCC, 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 the JCC, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation at the JCC.

By agreeing to this waiver, I agree that if I am exposed or infected by COVID-19 during my participation in this activity, then I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against the parties being released on the basis of any claim for negligence or otherwise.

I have read and understood this document and I agree to be bound by its terms. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

I agree that I will practice safe social distancing and clean hygiene during my participation at the JCC.
