Please re-review the Covid Addendum to the Participant Agreement
COVID-19 ADDENDUM TO PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND WAIVER OF CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS. Please read this COVID-19 Addendum to Participant Agreement (hereafter “Addendum”) carefully before signing. This Addendum must be signed by all participants, and a parent or legal guardian if the participant is a minor. This Addendum is intended to supplement and not replace the Participant Agreement. In consideration for participant being permitted to participate in the services offered by ActionQuest LLC, individually and d/b/a Global Expeditions Group, GoBeyond Student Travel, and Sea|mester, and their owners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and volunteers (collectively “GXG”), I (participant and/or parent of a minor participant) acknowledge and agree as follows: • COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus that could cause various severe symptoms including, but not limited to, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, repeated shaking, muscle pain, headache, new loss of taste or smell, persistent chest pain or pressure, confusion, and even death; • COVID-19 could be transmitted by people who may not be experiencing any symptoms of the virus and it is possible that someone may be positive for the virus without knowing it; • GXG has implemented numerous policies and procedures to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic including those that have been provided to me and those available on its websites. These include but are not limited to policies and procedures surrounding testing, social distancing, quarantines, and personal protective equipment such as masks. Consistent with these policies, I agree, upon completion of the Program, and once I arrive home, to have no contact with anyone I understand to be medically vulnerable under United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines until I have received a negative test for COVID-19 or quarantined for a minimum of 14 days. • I understand that these policies and procedures are frequently evolving and being updated to comply with the latest requirements and recommendations of governing authorities and health departments, not only in the United States but in countries to which I will be traveling. I agree to comply with, and be bound by, all GXG policies and procedures in effect at the time of my Program. I also understand that my failure to comply with any of these policies and procedures could result in my immediate dismissal from the Program at my sole expense. • Due to the nature of COVID-19 and a GXG Program, among the inherent risks of my participation in the Program is that I may become afflicted with COVID-19 and/or transmit it to other individuals despite GXG’s compliance with its policies and procedures, and regardless of whether I comply with these policies and procedures; • GXG staff members are, and have been, available if I have further questions about GXG’s COVID-19 policies and procedures or the associated risks of participating in a GXG Program during this pandemic. Parent/s give permission for their minor child to participate in a GXG Program despite these risks and agree to discuss these risks with their child; and • All terms of the Participant Agreement shall apply to COVID-19 and the contents of this Addendum. Therefore, I understand and acknowledge that the Liability Release and Indemnity Agreement contained in the Participant Agreement shall apply in its entirety to any and all claims, liabilities, suits or expenses in any way related to, or arising out of, COVID-19.
