Participant (referred to as “I” or “me“) desires to participate in the EMBARC conference and related activities, including without limitation, a boat cruise (collectively, the “Activity“) located at the Pasea Hotel & Spa (“Hotel”) in Huntington Beach, California or elsewhere off Hotel premises, as the case may be, and as provided by CareerArc Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company“) located at 3400 W. Olive Ave., Ste. 220, Burbank, CA 91505.

1. I am aware and understand that the Activity is a potentially dangerous activity and involves the risk of serious injury, disability, death, and/or property damage. I am also aware of the highly contagious nature of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)(the “Disease“) and the risk that I may be exposed to or contract the Disease by engaging in the Activity at the Hotel or of the premises, which may result in serious illness, personal injury, disability, and/or death. I acknowledge that these risks may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of Company employees or others, including negligent emergency response or rescue operations of the Company. I understand that while the Company, the Hotel and authorized vendors have implemented measures to reduce the risk of injury from the Activity and the spread of the Disease, the Company cannot guarantee that I will not be injured, or become infected with the Disease, due to my participation in the Activity and that engaging in the Activity may increase my risk of injury or contracting the Disease. NOTWITHSTANDING THESE RISKS, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE DANGERS INVOLVED. I HEREBY AGREE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM MY ENGAGING IN THE ACTIVITY, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE COMPANY OR OTHERWISE.

2. I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims, now known or hereafter known, against the Company, and its officers, directors, manager(s), employees, agents, affiliates, shareholders/members, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Releasees“), on account of injury, illness, disability, death, or property damage arising out of or attributable to my participation in the Activity, whether arising out of the ordinary negligence of the Company or any Releasees or otherwise. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Company or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Company and all other Releasees from liability under such claims. This waiver and release does not extend to claims for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any other liabilities that California law does not permit to be released by agreement.

3. I confirm that I am in good health, in proper physical condition, and do not have any medical or other conditions that would impair my ability to participate in the Activity.I will comply with all federal, state, and local laws, orders, directives, and guidelines related to the Activity and the Disease while participating in the Activity, including, without limitation, requirements related to hand sanitation, social distancing, and use of face coverings and safety equipment. I will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and guidance of the Hotel and Company at all times during the Activity. If at any time: I believe conditions to be unsafe; I am no longer in proper physical condition to participate in the Activity; I begin experiencing symptoms of the Disease, such as cough, shortness of breath, fever or the absence of taste/small; or I have a confirmed or suspected case of the Disease, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity.

4. I shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company 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 reasonable attorney fees, fees, the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification under this Release, and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, incurred by/awarded against the Company or any other Releasees, arising out or resulting from any claim of a third party related to my participation in the Activity, including any claim related to my own negligence.

5. I hereby consent to receive medical treatment deemed necessary if I am injured or require medical attention during my participation in the Activity. I understand and agree that I am solely responsible for all costs related to such medical treatment and any related medical transportation and/or evacuation. I hereby release, forever discharge, and hold harmless the Company from any claim based on such treatment or other medical services.

BEING AWARE OF THIS CODE SECTION, YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE THEREUNDER, AS WELL AS UNDER ANY OTHER STATUTES OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF SIMILAR EFFECT.
