The Parties to the Agreement and Effective Date: This Agreement is made between PEBBLE BEACH COMPANY (PBC), the STILLWATER YACHT CLUB (SYC), and PARTICIPANT, and is to remain in effect for the duration of the PARTICIPANT’S participation in SYC watersports and social activities programs. Reference to PBC includes "The Beach and Tennis Club". All references to PBC or SYC also include their holdings, individual companies and properties, affiliates, insurers, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, owners and parent companies, partnerships, subsidiaries, and assigns. The term "PARTICIPANT" as used in this Agreement describes the person who will be participating in the activities described below. If the PARTICIPANT is a minor child under the age of 18, the term “PARTICIPANT” also includes the parent or legal guardian of the minor child PARTICIPANT indicated below. By signing this Agreement on behalf of the PARTICIPANT minor child the parent or legal guardian indicated below agrees and understands that this Agreement is fully enforceable against the parent or legal guardian and the parent or legal guardian’s minor child PARTICIPANT. Whether PARTICIPANT describes me, or my minor child, I intend that it also describe and include non-custodial parents, insurers, heirs, and assigns. The Activities Covered by the Agreement: PARTICIPANT desires to participate in recreational water sport and social activities as part of the SYC seasonal watersports and other social activities, which may entail the use of boats, kayaks paddleboards and other water related equipment belonging to or operated by SYC, and/or its individual members, during the summer Watersports Program season, as well as undertake and receive instruction regarding sailing, boating, kayaking and paddle boarding from SYC, or to participate in any SYC social activities (the “Activities”). In addition, and in consideration for the agreement by PARTICIPANT, PBC and SYC agree to allow PARTICIPANT access to their property and facilities for the recreational purpose of participation in the Activities described herein, including other incidental recreational activities which shall also be governed by this Agreement. PBC and SYC are willing to allow such recreational use and access to their facilities, property, and equipment, as well as provide said instruction, but only in consideration for the PARTICIPANT's agreement to the terms herein, in addition to any other conditions which may be imposed by PBC and/or SYC. PARTICIPANT’s Agreement to Assume the Risks Associated with the Activities: I understand that there are risks associated with the activities described in this Agreement. Specifically, with regard to boating, kayaking paddle boarding and other water related activities, I understand that there are risks of bodily injury, property damage, and even death, from drowning, hypothermia, and other dangers that are both foreseeable and unforeseeable. I understand that participation in the Activities also includes possible exposure to and illness from infectious diseases, including, but not limited, to MRSA, influenza, and COVID-19. PBC and SYC have implemented preventative measures to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. These include, but are not limited to, screening individuals before they are permitted to enter PBC or SYC facilities, implementing social distancing measures, wellness monitoring, increased sterilization of equipment and premises, and required hand-washing. However, given the contagious nature of these infectious diseases, including COVID-19, the PBC and SYC cannot guarantee that PARTICIPANTS or their family members will not become infected with infectious diseases like COVID-19. Further, because PARTICIPANTS and PARTICIPANT’s parents/guardians will be in or near groups of other people, attending the PBC and SYC Activities creates an inherent and unavoidable risk that they will contract infectious diseases like COVID-19. I am familiar with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) guidelines regarding COVID-19. I acknowledge and understand that the circumstances regarding COVID-19 are changing from day to day and that, accordingly, the CDC guidelines are regularly modified and updated, and I accept full responsibility for familiarizing myself with the most recent updates and following the recommended guidelines to minimize the risk of exposure to and transmission of infectious diseases including COVID-19. I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation, including as these terms and conditions specifically apply to protection against infectious diseases. If, however, I observe any unusual or significant hazard during my presence or participation in the Activities, I will remove myself from participation in the Activities and report the actual or suspected hazard to the nearest SYC official immediately. Moreover, I agree to participate in all Activities described above and VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISK KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, OF ILLNESS, INJURY, DISABILITY, OR DEATH CAUSED BY infectious diseases like COVID-19, EVEN IF CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE ACTION, INACTION, OR NEGLIGENCE OF PBC, SYC, or either of their employees, independent contractors, volunteers, or PARTICIPANTS. I assume full responsibility for any risk of contracting infectious diseases like COVID-19 at PBC and SYC. With regard to other recreational activities in which I may participate while on PBC property, I also understand that those activities present risks of injury, property damage, or death. PARTICIPANT SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BOATING, SAILING, KAYAKING, PADDLE BOARDING INVOLVES THESE RISKS OF BODILY INJURY, ILLNESS, DISEASE AND DEATH, AND PARTICIPANT IS WILLING TO, AND HEREBY DOES, EXPRESSLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT OTHER RECREATIONAL OR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES INCIDENTAL TO AND ARISING OUT OF THE RECREATIONAL VISIT TO SYC AND PBC PROPERTY MAY ALSO INVOLVE RISK OF BODILY INJURY, ILLNESS, DISEASE, DISABILITY AND/OR DEATH WHICH PARTICIPANT IS ALSO WILLING TO, AND HEREBY DOES, EXPRESSLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME. My Intention to Release and Discharge, in Advance, PBC and SYC from Any Claims Arising Out of those Risks, Even if They Arise Due to PBC and/or SYC's Negligence: PARTICIPANT, in advance, hereby voluntarily releases, discharges, and agrees to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify PBC and/or SYC from any and all claims, actions, charges, expenses, attorney fees, or causes of action for personal injury, property damage, or death occurring to PARTICIPANT arising from the activities described herein, or incidental to those activities, regardless of whether the same shall arise by the negligence of PBC and/or SYC. PARTICIPANT acknowledges that PBC and/or SYC would not agree or allow participation in the activities, or use and access to its property and facilities, without this agreement. IT IS THE INTENTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO EXEMPT AND RELIEVE PBC AND SYC FROM LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, INFECTIOUS DISEASE (SUCH AS COVID-19), DISABILITY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR WRONGFUL DEATH TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, EVEN IF CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF PBC, SYC, or either of their employees, independent contractors, volunteers, or PARTICIPANTS. For example, if I contract Covid-19 at PBC or SYC or injure myself while participating in an Activity at PBC or SYC, I will not be able to sue PBC or SYC, and PBC and SYC will not be responsible at all, unless I contract COVID-19 or otherwise injure myself because PBC’s or SYC’s fraud, willful or intentional misconduct, violation of the law, or gross negligence. I voluntarily agree to assume known and unknown risks associated with the Activities. My Agreement that I or My Minor Child Will Wear a Coast Guard-Approved Personal Flotation Device at All Times: PARTICIPANT agrees to wear a Coast Guard approved lifejacket at all times while using any boat, kayak, paddleboard or other flotation device in Stillwater Cove or otherwise participating in water sport activities.
