In consideration of being permitted to be present at, attend, observe, and participate in Activities at the facilities of, or provided by, THE KNOT CLIMBING GYM, LLC, of __ Gainesville, FL __("The Knot”), I, for myself and for my dependent(s) (collectively referred to herein as “me” “I” or “my”), personal representatives, assigns and heirs:

  7. The laws of the State of Florida shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement and the interpretation, construction, and enforceability thereof.  I agree that any lawsuit brought against The Knot shall be brought solely in the Circuit Court for Alachua County, Florida.  I VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY RIGHT I MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION INVOLVING ANY RELEASEES.

COVID-19 Addendum

I agree that by signing this COVID-19 Addendum, I am adding and including this to the RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK,  INDEMNITY, AND PHOTO RELEASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), which I have signed with THE KNOT CLIMBING GYM, LLC, and that all of the terms of the Agreement apply to this COVID-19 Addendum. 


I acknowledge the contagious nature of the COVID-19 virus, and respect that the facility adheres to the CDC, OSHA, Florida DOH, and Alachua County Emergency Order No. 2020-50 recommendations of practicing social distancing and wearing face coverings.  I further acknowledge that The Knot has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus, to the best of their abilities.  I further acknowledge that no guarantee exists regarding whether or not I may contract COVID-19.  I acknowledge that indoor and outdoor climbing and fitness gym usage is a close contact sport that heightens the risk of exposure to COVID-19.  I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to and/or infected by the COVID-19 virus may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, staff and other clients.  I acknowledge that I increase my risk of exposure to COVID-19 by participating in Activities.  I acknowledge that I must comply with all set procedures to reduce the spread while in attendance and that The Knot may ask anyone to leave the premise at any time if they are found in violation of The Knot’s procedures.


For each time that I enter facilities of or provided by The Knot,I attest that:

  • I am not experiencing any symptom of illness such as cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell.
  • I have not traveled internationally within the last 14 days.
  • I have not traveled to a highly impacted area within the United States in the last 14 days.
  • I do not believe I have been exposed to someone with a suspected and/or confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
  • I am complying with all local, state, and CDC recommended guidelines as much as possible, including limiting any purposeful exposure to COVID-19.

I Agree
