Covid-19 Waiver to Participate

WAIVER, RELEASE, AND HOLD HARMLESS

Friendship Circle of Los Angeles (“FCLA”) cares deeply about the health and well being of all participants. In consideration of being allowed to participate in any and all FCLA programs, related events, and activities and the use of FCLA facilities or enter and access FCLA (“the Programs”) I, the undersigned participant and/or on behalf of the participant acknowledge, understand, and agree that:

I am fully aware there are several risks associated with me participating in the Programs or entering, accessing, or otherwise using FCLA during a time of pandemic due to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) that has been confirmed throughout the world, including COVID-19 cases in areas in which the Programs at FCLA may be located.

I understand that my potential exposure to COVID-19 through my participation in the programs, use of FCLA, or contact with other participants in the Programs or at FCLA. I also acknowledge that FCLA is not responsible for my safety against COVID-19 and makes no warranties, guarantees, or representations about the safety or condition of its facilities, employees, other participants, or third parties at FCLA.

I further acknowledge that, due to the nature of the activities associated with the Programs, social distancing of six or more feet between persons is not always possible and I may be placed in proximity to or come in contact with individuals, equipment, and/or surfaces that have been contaminated with or may transmit COVID-19 or other diseases. I fully understand and appreciate the known and potential dangers of participating in the Programs, including exposure to COVID-19, which could result in further transmission to others, quarantine, isolation, serious illness, disability, and/or death. I hereby agree my involvement and participation in the Programs is voluntary, and I knowingly, freely, unconditionally, and expressly assume any and all risks associated with the Programs and FCLA, including risks not known or reasonably foreseeable to me at this time.

I further acknowledge that wearing a mask or a face shield may be difficult for individuals with special needs and that there may be times when certain participants will remove the face coverings. This will actually serve as an opportunity for FCLA staff to teach life skills and the importance of wearing a face covering.

During my participation in the Programs, I agree I will conduct myself in a safe and reasonable manner, including by complying with all health and safety protocols and instructions provided to me in connection with the Programs and reporting and disclosing to FCLA any COVID-19 related symptoms (i.e. fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and loss of sense of taste or smell) I may experience. I agree, represent, and warrant I will not enter, access, or otherwise use the FCLA facility if I experience COVID-19 related symptoms or test positive for or am otherwise diagnosed with COVID-19 or am exposed to anyone with COVID-19.

I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, and any member of my family, hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless the Friendship Circle of Los Angeles and each of their officers, executives, officials, agents, employees, instructors, contractors, representatives and partners, as well as other participants, sponsors, advertisers, owners, and lessors of premises used for the Programs and related activities, from any and all claims, causes of action, demands or liability in any way relating to, or arising from the Programs and/or my use of the FCLA facility, including, without limitation, any personal or other injuries to third parties, property damage, or other adverse consequences or outcomes, whether foreseeable or not, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, including without limitation negligent decontamination or rescue operations. By signing this Release, I understand I may be giving up legal rights that I or others claiming through me may claim to have now or in the future and I am freely and voluntarily entering into this Release. In so doing, I hereby specifically waive the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that if known to him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

This Release shall be binding upon me, my heirs and successors, assignees, personal representatives, and executors. This Release shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of California, without regard to any conflicts of law principles. If any provision of this Release is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall not affect the enforceability of any other term or provision of this Release. Rather, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be modified so that it is valid, legal, and enforceable and to the fullest extent possible, reflect the intention of the parties.

I HAVE READ THIS WAIVER & RELEASE OF LIABILITY IN ITS ENTIRETY, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, INCLUDING THAT I AM GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS. I SIGN THIS DOCUMENT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT, ASSURANCE, OR GUARANTEE BEING MADE TO ME, AND INTEND BY MY SIGNATURE TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Commitment to Safety & Well-Being
Friendship Circle provides very special and unique opportunities for volunteers, special friends and their families to enrich the lives of each other. In doing so, participants might encounter new and sometimes challenging situations. Thus, it is imperative to set expectations at the beginning so that volunteers, special friends, and parents understand what they can expect. Therefore, volunteers, special friends, and their families must each certify and agree by signing below that they:
- Understand that participation in this activity is entirely voluntary and requires participants to abide by applicable rules and standards of conduct;
- Understand that participation in Friendship Circle activities involves a certain degree of risk and can be physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding. I have carefully considered the risk involved and have given consent for me and/or my child to participate in this activity;
- Acknowledge the risk of injury from the activities involved in the Friendship Circle events or program and knowingly and freely assume all such risks;
- Will not allow me/my child to participate in any activity that I believe me and/or my child cannot perform in accordance with the Friendship Circles activities’ instructions or in a safe manner;
- If I observe any significant hazard during my child's participation in any Event, I will stop participating in the event and inform the Friendship Circle of such hazard immediately;
- Release Friendship Circle, the directors, board, officers, activity coordinators, and all employees, volunteers, related parties, and other organizations associated with the activity from any and all claims or liability arising out of this participation provided that care was taken to ensure safety;
- In case of an emergency involving my child, I understand every effort will be made to contact me. In the event I cannot be reached, I hereby give my permission to the medical provider selected by the adult leader in charge to secure proper treatment, including hospitalization, anesthesia, surgery, or injections of medication for me/my child. Medical providers are authorized to disclose to the adult in charge examination findings, test results, and treatment provided for purposes of medical evaluation of the participant, follow-up and communication with the participant’s parents or guardian, and/or determination of the participant’s ability to continue in the program activities.
I give Friendship Circle permission to use my or my child's name, image, likeness or recording in connection with any promotional materials including, but not limited to, brochures, advertising and broadcasts. *

As a parent of a child who has special needs participating in the Friendship Circle:
- I understand that Friendship Circle will match my child with either a preteen/teenage or adult volunteer.

- If someone gets hurt or some other incident occurs during a Friendship Circle program, it is my responsibility to immediately report the occurrence to Friendship Circle staff.
As an express precondition of your child’s admission into the program, this parental consent form must be signed and returned to the Friendship Circle. Execution of this parental consent form serves as your acknowledgement: (1) of the critical importance Friendship Circle places on your agreement to at all times have at least one parent/guardian “on premises” during the entirety of each program related visitation; and (2) that the parent/guardian takes full responsibility for everything that transpires during the visit and exempts Friendship Circle from any responsibility or liability; and (3) the failure to abide by this requirement may, in the exercise of Friendship Circle’s sole and absolute discretion, result in the termination of all further program related visitations with your child.

I have carefully read and agree to abide and be bound by all additional rules and policies in the Friendship Circle Handbook and any additional rules pertinent to specific events.

I give my child permission to participate in Friendship Circle. I understand that participation in Friendship Circle activities involves a certain degree of risk and can be physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding.
