COVID-19 Waiver of Liability
COVID-19 WAIVER OF LIABILITY
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization ("WHO"). COVID-19 is reported to be extremely contagious. It is believed that the virus can spread from person-to-person contact, thought to be through respiratory droplets produced when a person infected with the virus coughs or sneezes. It was also reported that the virus can spread by contact with contaminated surfaces and/or through objects. People reportedly can be infected and show no symptoms and still spread the disease. The exact methods of spread and contraction are unknown, and currently, there is no known treatment, cure or vaccine for COVID-19. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and/or death.
FAST Fundamentals LLC (FAST) is providing services whereby children have the opportunity to partake in group athletic activities. FAST will be providing backyard classes in a manner consistent with CDC and State health and safety guidelines, which include, but are not limited to, providing enhanced disinfecting/sanitizing of equipment between classes and FAST coaches wearing face coverings. FAST cannot however prevent you [or your child(ren)] from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while utilizing FAST's services. It is not possible to prevent against the presence of the disease. If you choose to register your child in a FAST program, you may be exposing yourself and/or your child[ren] to COVID-19 and/or increasing your and/or your child[ren]'s risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19.
I represent that I and my participating child[ren], a) have not tested positive for COVID-19 and/or have not had a suspected or diagnosed case of COVID-19 within the past 30 days, and; b) am free of any symptoms which have been identified by the WHO and CDC as suggestive of having COVID-19.

The undersigned, on his/her behalf and on behalf of such participating children, further agree(s) to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from any loss, liability, damages or costs the Indemnified Parties may incur, whether caused by negligence, active or passive, or otherwise, in connection with the undersigned's and/or any participating child[ren]'s use of the Indemnified Parties' services.
CHOICE OF LAW: I understand and agree that the law of the State of New York will apply to this Waiver.
