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, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing.
All participants in recreational activities must comply with safety measures and social distancing must be practiced and face coverings worn at all times for recreational activities held indoors to reduce the risks of exposure to COVID- 19. Masks are not required for activities held outdoors. Because COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is spread mainly from person-to-person contact, the City has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Safety measures are subject to change or revision in accordance with state and local guidance. A public health officer may inspect a program at any time and act if measures to control infection is insufficient. Participants taking part in online activities offered by the City agree to abide by the City’s safety standards and any other requirements as deemed necessary by City staff.
Independent contractors offering online / in-person instruction also consent to the City’s use of names, photos, likenesses and written feedback in any and all publications, advertising and publicity, and grants permission to be filmed or taped by the City or the news media.
By signing this agreement, I represent that I will adhere to the aforementioned preventive measures according to Los Angeles County and the City of Calabasas. Further, on my behalf, by signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that each instructor may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participating in recreation activities/training and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. Further, on my behalf, I hereby release, waive, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the City of Calabasas, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from any such 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 City, its employees, agents, and representatives.
Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California provides as follows: “A General Release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the Release which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
I hereby represent that I have read and understand Civil Code Section 1542 and that I hereby waive all present and future rights and benefits under Section 1542 to the extent it would permit claims arising from my participation in recreation activities/training, including without limitation, any based on facts found to be different from the facts believed to be true at the time this Release and Waiver of Liability was executed.
To the extent that I, individually, or my heirs, guardians, legal representatives or assigns bring a claim of any kind whatsoever against the City of Calabasas, I agree that this Release and Waiver of Liability is to be construed under the laws of the State of California, and that if any portion hereof is held invalid, the balance hereof shall, not withstanding, continue in full legal force an d effect. Any claims or causes of action arising out of or related to participation in recreation activities/training, of which I am voluntarily participating, shall be tried exclusively in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County.
