In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in the Armenian Youth Federation ("AYF") program, related events and activities, the undersigned acknowledges, appreciates, and agrees that:

The risk of injury from the activities or events involved in this program is significant, including the potential for permanent paralysis and death, and while particular rules, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and,

The risks associated with exposure to and infection by COVID-19 or any other communicable disease is significant, and participation in the activities or events will increase the risk that I may be exposed to, contract, or spread COVID-19 or some other communicable disease. I acknowledge that COVID-19 is extremely contagious and can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death; and,

I acknowledge and knowingly and freely assume all such risks of injury, infection, or loss associated with the activities or events, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct of the releasees or others, and assume full responsibility for my participation; and,

I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the nearest official immediately; and,

I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, hereby release and hold harmless the Armenian Youth Federation ("AYF"), their officers, officials, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event ("Releasees"), with respect to all and any injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

I expressly agree that this waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by applicable laws, and that if any portion of this waiver is found to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT, fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, and sign it freely and voluntarily without any inducement.

For Parents/Guardians of participants of minority age (under 18 at time of registration) - if applicable

This is to certify that I, as parent/guardian with legal responsibility for this participant, do consent and agree to his/her release, as provided above, of all the Releasees, and, for myself, heirs, assigns, and next of kin, I release and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all liabilities incident to my minor child's involvement or participation in these programs as provided above, even if arising from their negligence, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
