Please read and sign the waiver of liability below before registering for minyanim.
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 have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. KCT has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, KCT cannot guarantee that you or your family will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending KCT could increase your risk and your family’s risk of contracting COVID-19. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my family and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending KCT, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at KCT may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, KCT employees, directors, volunteers, and program participants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my family or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my family may experience or incur in connection with my attendance at KCT prayer services or participation in any KCT programming ("Claims"). On my behalf, and on behalf of my entire family, including my children and my spouse, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless and agree to indemnify KCT, its employees, agents, directors, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of KCT, its employees, agents, directors, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after my participation in any of KCT's prayer services or any other programs. In the event that I or someone in my family tests positive for Covid-19, I hereby also agree to waive any and all rights that I or my family have related to HIPAA medical privacy and confidentiality in terms of notifying the KCT membership of a positive test.
By signing below, I acknowledge and represent that I have read the foregoing Waiver of Liability, understand it, and sign it voluntarily as my own free act and deed, including without limitation the Release of Liability and Indemnification requirements contained in this document; I am sufficiently informed about the risks involved in attending KCT to decide whether to sign this document; no oral representations, statements, or inducements, apart from the foregoing written agreement, have been made; I am at least eighteen (18) years of age and fully competent; and I execute this document for full, adequate, and complete consideration fully intending to be bound by the same. I agree that this Wavier of Liability shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Illinois law, and that if any of the provisions hereof are found to be unenforceable, the remainder shall be enforced as fully as possible and the unenforceable provision(s) shall be deemed modified to the limited extent required to permit enforcement of the Wavier of Liability as a whole.
