I, in consideration for permission by the Chinese Community Center (“CCC”) to participate in any or all programs or activities, use of CCC facilities or equipment (“Activity”) offered by or available at CCC agree and consent to the following:
VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION: I am voluntarily participating in the Activity. I recognize that the Activity requires physical exertion that may be strenuous at times and may cause serious illness, physical injury, disability, death and/or property damage and I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved.

RISK OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE: I am also aware of the contagious nature of fungal, bacterial and viral diseases (“Infectious Disease”), and the risk that I may be exposed to or contract the Disease by engaging in the Activity, which may result in serious illness, personal injury, disability, death, and/or property damage. I acknowledge that these risks may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of CCC employees or others, including negligent emergency response or other operations of CCC. I understand that while CCC has implemented measures to reduce the risk of injury from the Activity and the spread of Disease, CCC cannot guarantee that I will not be injured or become infected with Disease or other infectious diseases due to my participation in the Activity and that engaging in the Activity may increase my risk of contracting Disease.

I will comply with all federal, state, and local laws, orders, directives, and guidelines related to the Activity and Disease while participating in the Activity, including, without limitation, requirements related to hand sanitation, social distancing, and use of face coverings and safety equipment. I will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and cautions of CCC at all times during the Activity. If at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe, that I am no longer in proper physical condition to participate in the Activity, or I begin experiencing symptoms of Disease, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK: I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED. I HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ARISING FROM THE ACTIVITY, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF CCC OR OTHERWISE. Such injuries may include, but are not limited to, heart attacks, muscle strains, muscle pulls, muscle tears, broken bones, shin splints, heat prostration, injuries to knees, injuries to back, injuries to foot, or any other illness or soreness, including death or contracting Disease.
