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, provincial, and local governments and federal and provincial health agencies recommend social distancing.
Vitality Equine has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, Vitality Equine cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participating in a Vitality Equine Performance Massage Therapy Session, a Vitality Equine Assessment Session or an interaction with Vitality Equine Staff could increase your risk of contracting COVID-19.
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 during a Vitality Equine Performance Massage Therapy Session, a Vitality Equine Assessment Session or an interaction with Vitality Equine Staff 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 from a Vitality Equine Performance Massage Therapy Session, a Vitality Equine Assessment Session or interaction with Vitality Equine Staff may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Vitality Equine employees, and barn 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 my participation at a Vitality Equine Performance Massage Therapy Session, a Vitality Equine Assessment Session or an interaction with Vitality Equine Staff (“Claims”). On my behalf, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Vitality Equine, 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 Vitality Equine, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Vitality Equine Performance Massage Therapy Session, Vitality Equine Assessment Session or interaction with Vitality Equine Staff.
