Welcome to Spokane Aerial Performance Arts and congratulations on beginning your training program with us. We are delighted you chose us as a part of your commitment to health, fitness and the arts! With the help of your instructor and trainer, you will begin to accomplish your goals in an enjoyable, artistic and safe setting. The following information will provide you with important program policies. Please read and sign this form to acknowledge that you have read and understand the following information. COVID-19 In consideration of the services of Spokane Aerial Performance Arts, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Spokane Aerial”), myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows: I represent that I am in good health and have no known exposure to COVID-19 and no symptoms of Covid-19, including fever, sudden loss of taste or smell, vomiting or diarrhea, cough, shortness of breath or sore throat, for 14 days prior to attending the facility. I acknowledge that if I believe I have had any exposure to COVID-19, I will immediately cease attendance at the facility until I can again warrant that I have no known exposure for the 14-day period and alert the facility if I have been on the premises since my exposure. I acknowledge that my participation in aerial and other classes or activities at Spokane Aerials’ studio or elsewhere entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, transfer of illness, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. The risks include, among other things: slips and falls; falling from equipment; rope burns; pinches, scrapes, twists and jolts that could result in scratches, bruises, sprains, lacerations, fractures, concussions, or even more severe life threatening hazards; strains, cuts, bruises, muscle soreness and fractures; musculoskeletal injuries including head, neck, and back; injuries to internal organs; the negligence of other people; the negligence of other participants, or other persons who may be present; my own physical condition; and the risk of emotional and psychological insures or physical damage associated with this activity. Traveling to and from shows, meets and exhibitions raises the possibility of any manner of transportation accidents. I am aware that training during and after the COVID-19 pandemic involves certain inherent risks, dangers and hazards, which can result in serious infection, personal injury or death. I further acknowledge, understand, appreciate, and agree that my participation may result in possible exposure to and illness from COVID-19. While protocols and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury, illness and even death is not possible to fully mitigate. Furthermore, Spokane Aerial instructors and teaching assistants have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant’s fitness, abilities or potential communicable diseases. They might misjudge the weather or other environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction. Spokane Aerial is making its best efforts to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19. But the safety of the community is in the hands of every one of us. I expressly agree and promise to abide by the safety precautions displayed at the gym/studio, covered in pre-class safety briefings, displayed on the Spokane Aerial website, and communicated to me via email. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate despite the risks. I hereby freely agree, to assume and accept all known and unknown risks of exposure to COVID-19, even arising from the negligence as a general principle on law, when a person knows of the risk of an activity, of the releasees or others and assume full responsibility for my participation. I further recognize and acknowledge that the risks inherent in training can be greatly reduced by carefully following the safety precautions displayed at the gym/studio, covered in pre-class safety briefings, displayed on the Spokane Aerial website, and communicated to me via email. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Spokane Aerial from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of Spokane Aerial’s equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of Spokane Aerial. I have read this Agreement and I fully understand its terms. I understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue the facility and its staff for injuries resulting from the inherent risks of training during and after the COVID-10 pandemic, and the ordinary negligence of the facility and staff. I further acknowledge that I am signing this agreement freely and voluntarily, without inducement or assurance of any nature, and intend my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by the laws of the State of Washington.
