WAIVER
The undersigned intends to participate in a Greensboro Home Educators (“GHE”) event or activity. In consideration of, and as a condition to, being permitted to do so, the undersigned agrees and understands as follows:
1. I understand that participating in GHE-related events and activities is a personal decision, is completely voluntary, and is not required for continued GHE membership in any way.
2. I understand that viruses such as COVID-19 and/or any variations thereof (referred to as “communicable diseases”) are contagious and are usually transmitted from person to person. I understand that attending GHE events and activities with other people could increase the risk of contracting such communicable diseases to myself and any minors identified below, even if we follow all guidelines. I am fully aware of the hazards associated with such communicable diseases.
3. I, on behalf of myself and any minors for whom I have signed below, knowingly and fully assume responsibility for any and all risk of personal injury, illness, or other loss that we may sustain related to participation in GHE events and activities.
4. I agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and release GHE and its agents, officers, Board, volunteers, other participants, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises upon which GHE events and activities take place, from and against any claims, demands, causes of action, damages, expenses, or losses of any kind whatsoever, whether tangible or intangible, whether arising out of negligence or otherwise, and whether suffered by myself, the minors identified below, or others, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
I specifically understand that I am releasing and waiving rights and claims, on behalf of myself and others related to GHE in any respect, and it is my express intention to do so.
5. I agree to further indemnify GHE (and those persons or entities listed in paragraph 4) from and against any losses, costs, charges, expenses, damages, or attorneys’ fees incurred by GHE (or those persons or entities listed in paragraph 4) with respect to any matter, lawsuit, or action brought related to the participation of myself or the minors identified below in any GHE events or activities.
6. I agree that this Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State of North Carolina, and if any portion hereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the remainder shall continue in full legal force and effect.
I HAVE CAREFULLY READ, UNDERSTAND AND VOLUNTARILY EXECUTE THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS DOCUMENT RELEASES AND WAIVES RIGHTS.
