Waiver and Release of Liability
Acceptance of Risk; Release; Indemnification
I am fully aware that there are a number of risks associated with entering California Baking School by The Bakery Café (“The Bakery School”, “California Baking School”, or “CBS”) property and/or using CBS facilities or equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic, including by way of example only and not limited to: (a) contracting COVID-19 or other diseases such as the flu or legionnaires disease which could result in a serious medical condition requiring medical treatment in a hospital or could possibly lead to death; (b) normal risks associated with using the CBS facilities such as physical injuries (or even death) or loss or damage to personal property, including without limitation, from slips or falls, physical or verbal altercations with other guests/students or other violence, theft or vandalism, fires, or other disasters affecting CBS; and (c) any risks that may arise from negligence or carelessness on the part of the CBS, from dangerous or defective equipment, or property owned, maintained, or controlled by them, or because of their possible liability without fault.
On behalf of myself and my heirs, successors and assigns, in exchange for being permitted to enter CBS property and/or in exchange for being permitted to use CBS facilities or equipment, I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, relating to my use of CBS facilities or equipment, and I hereby forever release, waive, relinquish, and discharge CBS, along with its officers, directors, managers, officials, trustees, agents, employees, or other representatives, and its successors and assigns (collectively included in the definition of “CBS”), from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, rights, damages, expenses, and causes of action of whatever kind or nature, and other losses of any kind, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen (collectively, “Damages”), as a result of me being permitted to enter CBS property and/or in exchange for being permitted to use CBS facilities or equipment, including but not limited to those related to the above described risks from disease, personal injury, death, or property loss, or any other loss, and including but not limited to claims based on the alleged negligence of CBS or any other person affiliated with or representing CBS.
I further promise not to sue CBS, and agree to indemnify and hold them harmless from any and all Damages resulting from, arising from, or alleged to be occurring as a result of my being permitted to enter CBS property and/or being permitted to use CBS facilities or equipment to the fullest extent permitted by law, including but not limited to any alleged liabilities or claims made as a result of participation in CBS activities, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.
This Waiver and Release of Liability Form shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under California law.
