I recognize the infectious nature of COVID-19 and understand that the CDC and other public health authorities still recommend maintaining social distancing. Additionally, I acknowledge that URCC Inc cannot ensure that I will not contract COVID-19. I am aware that the risk of exposure to or infection by COVID-19 may arise from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others. By choosing to volunteer with Undiscovered Realm Comic Con, I accept that I am increasing my risk of exposure to COVID-19. I understand that I must follow all established procedures to help minimize the spread during the event.
In light of my intention to volunteer at Undiscovered Realm Comic Con, I willingly assume all responsibility for any risk of property damage or bodily injury that I might incur while participating in the event or any related activities, including the use of equipment. Furthermore, I, along with my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, release and discharge URCC Inc/Undiscovered Realm and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and volunteers from any and all claims, demands, and causes of action that I or my representatives may have in connection with my volunteer participation. If any part of this agreement is found to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in effect. I confirm that I have no known mental or physical conditions that would hinder my ability to participate fully as expected. Moreover, I have thoroughly read and understood this release and indemnification, and I sign this document of my own free will.
