COVID-19 and Other Viruses COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus that can cause, among other conditions, severe respiratory illness, sometimes leading to death in individuals who contract it. Protecting your safety while using the Facility is extremely important to BI. With that priority in mind, BI is taking steps to reduce the potential for COVID-19 spread and spread of any other virus’ at the Facility. These steps include implementing enhanced Facility sanitization procedures and comprehensive guidelines to ensure that Facility team members remain in good health and practice recommended preventative measures. BI would ask that you also use antibacterial cleaning supplies both before and after use to maintain the Facility’s good hygiene, exclusive of climbing holds). We request that you use hand sanitizer or liquid chalk before each climb to ensure that the climbing holds remain COVID-19 and virus-free.
Even with BI’s precautions in place, BI simply cannot eliminate all risks associated with COVID-19 and other viruses. By choosing to make use of this Facility, you are assuming the risk that you may contract COVID-19 at the Facility, or another virus, despite BI’s best efforts to provide a clean and safe environment and to waive, hold harmless, and release Boca Ice for any claim that you believe you might have should you be diagnosed with coronavirus or another virus. I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT, AND I AM AWARE THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, I MAY BE WAIVING CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE.
