Acceptance of Terms and Conditions/Electronic Signature

*PLEASE READ CAREFULLY*

By registering for a recreation program with the Acadia Athletics Complex (“AAC”), you agree you understand the risks associated with using University Facilities (facilities owned or operated by the University, including but not limited to the AAC) and/or participating in University Activities and that you are aware that by using University Facilities and/or participating in University Activities you will be exposed to the risks identified below.

In agreeing to participate in University Activities or use University Facilities, I understand that the University will not be liable for any loss, injury or death resulting from the risks outlined herein. I agree to waive my right to sue the University for any loss, injury, or death resulting from the risks outlined within this Agreement.

Acadia University (the University) has put in place measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, however I understand that any individual attending the University Campus, using the University’s Facilities, or participating in activities organized by the University, whether on-campus or off-campus (collectively, the University Activities) may become infected with COVID-19. Attending the University Campus and/or participating in the University Activities, could increase my risk of contracting COVID-19.

The University is attempting to limit the risk of exposure to COVID-19 by using reasonable efforts to follow the health and safety guidelines recommended by the provincial and federal health authorities. Nevertheless, I understand that there remains a risk that I could

contract COVID-19 by attending the University Campus, using University Facilities or participating in University Activities. I therefore acknowledge and agree as follows:

1. I acknowledge that COVID-19 is easily spread by contact with droplets produced by people who have the virus and I voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 while using University Facilities or participating in University Activities and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death to me or members of my household(s).

2. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to ensure I learn and follow all health, safety and other rules established by the University. I understand that any behaviour on my part that the University determines, at its sole discretion, could place others at risk could result in immediate termination of my right to use University Facilities or participate in University Activities.

In consideration of the University permitting me to use University Facilities or participate in University Activities, I agree as follows:

1. To waive any and all claims that I may have in the future against the University, its members, officers, employees, students, agents and volunteers. (collectively referred to as the Releasees).

2. To release the Releasees from any and all liability for any loss, damage, injury, illness, death or expense that I may, or that members of my household(s) may suffer, including the contraction of COVID-19, as a result of my attending the University Campus, using University Facilities or participating in University Activities, including such loss, damage, injury, illness, death or expense that is caused by the negligence, breach of contract, or breach of any statutory or other duty of care (including any duty owed under the Occupier's Liability Act, S.N.S. 1996, c. 27, as amended) on the part of the Releasees.

3. To hold harmless and indemnify the Releasees from any and all liability, causes of action, claims, judgments, costs and expenses (including legal fees) that I, a member of my household(s), or any third party may suffer as a result of my attending the University Campus, using University Facilities or participating in University Activities, including due to any act, omission, or negligence of the Releasees.

4. This Agreement shall be effective and binding on my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators, assigns, and representatives in the event of my death or incapacity.

I acknowledge that my registration in AAC recreation programming is subject to applicable policies, which includes policies on cancellation, refunds, and inclusion support. There are NO REFUNDS for facility memberships or programs offered at the Acadia Athletics Complex unless the program is cancelled.

I agree that clicking the checkbox I have read, understood and that I have authority to enter into this Agreement and that the terms contained herein are legally binding.
