PEPC COVID-19 Waiver

I acknowledge the contagious nature of the Coronavirus/COVID-19, and that the CDC and many other public health authorities still recommend practicing social distancing. I further acknowledge that PEPC cannot guarantee that I will not become infected with the Coronavirus/Covid-19 while attending the event hosted by the PEPC. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to and/or infected by the Coronavirus/COVID-19 may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others. I voluntarily signed up for a program/event hosted by PEPC and acknowledge that by my attendance I am marginally increasing my risk to exposure to the Coronavirus/COVID-19. I agree to wear a face mask over my mouth and nose while not actively eating and/or drinking, speaking as a speaker, outdoors, or in a designated socially distanced area indoors.

I attest that I will not attend the program/event hosted by the PEPC:

• If I am experiencing any symptom of illness such as cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell.
• If I believe I have been exposed to someone with a suspected and/or confirmed case of the Coronavirus/COVID-19.
• If I am diagnosed with Coronavirus/Covid-19 and not yet cleared as non-contagious by state or local public health authorities.

I hereby release and agree to hold PEPC and Neff & Downing Management Services harmless from, and waive on behalf of myself, my heirs, and any personal representatives any and all causes of action, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses and compensation for illness, bodily injury or death that may result from or arise out of exposure to the Coronavirus/COVID-19, caused by any act, or failure to act, or that may otherwise arise in any way in connection with my voluntary attendance at the above-referenced event.

I understand that this release discharges PEPC and Neff & Downing Management Services from any liability or claim that I, my heirs, or any personal representatives may have with respect to any bodily injury, illness, death, medical treatment, or property damage that may arise from, or in connection with my voluntary attendance at a program/event hosted by PEPC.
