I understand, agree and hereby consent that my failure or disregard to follow all protocols in effect and required by WACUBO, CDC and the venue provider during my attendance at WACUBO is hereby sufficient grounds to be excluded from attending the event by WACUBO or an event authority, and I hereby consent in advance to leave and exit the event, without protest or refund, upon request by WACUBO or an event authority due to my refusal to follow said protocols.

As a condition of my participation at this WACUBO event, I, do hereby expressly waive any rights against and release and hold harmless WACUBO and any of its officers, employees, affiliates, contractors, agents, heirs, legal successors, and assigns (collectively “WACUBO”) from and against any and all claims, suits, demands, losses, damages, expenses, or liability of whatever kind or nature (collectively “liability”), under any theory of law or equity, that may arise during or as a result of my presence at the premises, including but not limited to any such liability related to or arising out of illness, injury, or death associated with infection of COVID-19 or complications, symptoms, or other effects resulting from contracting COVID-19. I shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WACUBO and all other Releasees against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including attorney fees, fees and the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification under this Agreement, and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, arising out or resulting from any claim of a third party related to the Activities. 

I understand, and it is my express intent, that this release and waiver of liability releases WACUBO from such liability even if such liability results from or is caused by the sole or contributory or active or passive negligence, strict liability, or other legal fault of WACUBO or any third party. I also understand and agree that WACUBO does not assume any responsibility or obligation to provide financial or other assistance, including but not limited to medical, health, or disability assistance in the event of injury or illness. In the event that I or my family member is injured, becomes ill, or suffers complications due to COVID-19, allegedly as a result of my participation in a WACUBO event, I agree to release and hold harmless WACUBO in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth above.
