WHEREAS, the community spread of COVID-19 is difficult to detect and control; and

Attendeee also agrees to hold harmless and promises not to sue the Institute and its officers, directors, members, employees, independent contractors, successors, and assigns from and against any and all causes of action, obligations, losses, liabilities, penalties, claims, damages, actions, suits, proceedings, settlements, judgments, and costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of, or in connection with, Attendee being diagnosed with COVID-19 and any subsequent complications from the disease, including death, except for gross negligence or as otherwise prohibited by law.
2. This Agreement is meant to supplement, but not supersede any other agreement between the Parties, except where they might conflict in which case this Agreement shall control.
3. This Agreement shall survive the termination of the Institute services to Attendee.
4. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to choice of law principles.
ATTENDEE REPRESENTS THAT HE OR SHE HAS FULLY INFORMED HIMSELF OR HERSELF OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT NOT TO SUE BY READING IT BEFORE HE OR SHE SIGNED IT, THAT HE OR SHE UNDERSTANDS ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ENTERS INTO THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY.
SAFETY:
We will be following local safety guidelines as well as national CDC guidelines. Please be aware that this is likely to include wearing masks, social distancing and limitations on LARGE group gatherings. We will know more as we get closer to June. We also expect to ask for either a negative COVID19 test prior to arrival or proof of vaccination.
If you or any family member does not agree with this policy you are welcome to a refund until April 15th. After April 15th you are welcome to a full credit toward a future Institute.
If any registrant or attendee refuses to follow the safety policies while at the Institute in June, they will not be allowed to attend any classes or functions and are NOT entitled to a refund or credit.
REFUNDS:
1) If you or your child test positive for COVID19 prior to attending, we will offer a refund with proof of the positive COVID19 test.
2) Full refund up until April 15th for any reason.
3) Full credit after April 15th if you personally feel it is unsafe for your family to attend.
4) Full refund or credit (whichever you prefer) if we need to cancel because Colorado moves into red or purple on their COVID19 dial prior to the date of arrival.
