Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19 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 and increased personal protection efforts. AHI Travel International (“AHI”) has put in place reasonable precautionary measures aimed at preventing or reducing the spread of COVID-19 among participants in AHI’s trips and events. However, given the nature of the virus, AHI cannot guarantee that you (or those with whom you come into close contact) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participating in AHI’s trips and events (including any necessary travel to and from such trips or events) could increase your risk of contracting COVID-19. By signing below: You acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume all risk that you may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 while participating in an AHI Travel trip and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death to you or to those with whom you come into close contact. You hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless AHI, its employees, agents, and representatives, and the sponsoring organization, of and from any Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating to COVID-19 exposure of infection, whether the exposure or infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any AHI trip or event. You agree to abide by all posted rules, warnings and instructions by AHI and any government authority with respect to social distancing, adherence to any dress code (including mandatory face coverings), sanitation guidelines and any other rules, warnings and instructions related to COVID-19 and which apply to the trip or event. You further agree not to attend the trip or event if you are currently diagnosed with, or suspect that you may have been infected by, COVID-19. Additionally, in the event you become ill or suspect you have been infected with COVID-19, you agree to immediately discontinue your participation in the trip or event and alert AHI via e-mail or telephone. Failure to agree to or abide by any of the foregoing may result in denial of entry or immediate expulsion from the trip or event, in AHI’s sole discretion, in addition to any and all remedies which may be available to AHI, in equity or at law. I HAVE READ THIS CONSENT FORM AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT. I HAVE SIGNED THIS AGREEMENT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT INDUCEMENT, ASSURANCE OR GUARANTEE BEING MADE TO ME. I INTEND MY SIGNATURE TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. Today's Date: November 20, 2024
