I agree as a precondition to the Participant’s participation in the Program and in consideration of the
Partners allowing the Participant to do so, that I will strictly be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
Without limiting anything else in this Agreement, I acknowledge that the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, is
extremely contagious and dangerous and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. I am
aware and understand that the Participant’s participation in the Program may increase the likelihood of
contracting and spreading COVID-19, even if the Partners and the Agents implement safety protocols and
procedures in compliance with the recommendations or requirements of public health and occupational
health and safety authorities and the Participant follows those protocols and procedures.
The Participant agrees to strictly abide and comply with any policies put in place by the Partners and the
Agents from time to time that apply to the Participant, including all safety policies relating to COVID-19 and
that such policies may require the Participant to report exposure to or symptoms of COVID-19. The
Participant is under an obligation to notify the Partners if the Participant observes any individuals not strictly
abiding by the Partners policies.
I certify that the Participant is physically fit and has not been otherwise informed by any physician. I certify
that I know of no restrictions imposed on the Participant by any physician, or otherwise, that would in any
way prevent him/her from participating in the Program. I agree that the Partners and Agents shall not be
liable for any pre-existing medical conditions or other conditions or circumstances that arise during the
Program and/or any travel related thereto.
I understand and agree that the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Program at his/her own risk. I
acknowledge that there are inherent dangers, hazards, and risks (collectively, “Risks”) associated with this
program. I freely accept and fully assume all responsibility for the inherent Risks and for any personal injury, death, property damage, or any other loss or injury which might result, possibility of sickness, death, or
spread of COVID-19, either directly or indirectly, from the Participant’s participation in the Program, from
the acts of others, or from the unavailability of emergency medical care.
I acknowledge that I have considered and evaluated the nature, scope and extent of the Risks involved with
the Participant’s participation in the Program, and, notwithstanding these Risks, I hereby confirm and agree
that I voluntarily and freely choose to assume these Risks and the Participant’s participation in the Program.
In the event of any accident or illness affecting the Participant, I authorize the Partners and the Agents to
authorize, on my behalf, all procedures, including admission to hospital and any necessary treatment
therein deemed essential for the care and well-being of the Participant. Such action is only to be taken
when immediate authorization from the undersigned cannot be obtained. It is understood that the Partners
and the Agents are not responsible for any medical care costs.
I understand and fully accept that the Partners reserves the right, at any time, to refuse, without penalty or
any obligation to refund any amount paid, continued participation in the Program by any person who at the
sole discretion of Ocean Wise becomes a hazard to themselves, other Program participants, the Partners,
the Agents or animals.
I hereby waive any and all claims which I may have against the Partners and the Agents and release and
indemnify the Partners and the Agents from any and all liability for injury, sickness, death, property damage
or any other loss sustained by the Participant or the Participant’s next of kin as a result of participation in
the Program, due to any cause whatsoever, including, without limitation, negligence, breach of contract, or
breach of any statutory or other duty of care by the Partners or the Agents.
I acknowledge that if any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, all other
provisions shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable. This Agreement supersedes any oral or
written statements made by any of the Partners or Agents in connection with the Program. This Agreement
is governed by the laws in force in British Columbia (without regard to conflicts of laws) and operates to the
benefit of the Partners and Agents, as well as their administrators, successors and assigns, and is binding
on me and my heirs, administrators, successors, assigns, insurers and estate.
