I agree to conduct myself in a safe and reasonable manner at all times, and to refrain from engaging in any conduct that could increase the risk of exposure to COVID-19 by me or any other person, including any other participant in FAIRFAX ADULT SOFTBALL or any member of my family or other third party; and
- I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS FAIRFAX ADULT SOFTBALL, their teams, officers, officials, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of the premises used to conduct the event (“Releasees”), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE.
