10. Covid-19

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19 (including without limitation, any successor strains of novel coronavirus) (hereinafter referred to as “COVID-19”), has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization (“WHO”). COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. You represent and warrant that you have familiarized yourself with the most recent guidance and protocols issued by the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control Prevention (“CDC”) for slowing the transmission of COVID-19 and agree to comply therewith. You further represent and warrant that if you choose to attend the 2024 WAT, that by the time of the start of the 2024 WAT, you will not have: (i) traveled to a highly-impacted area subject to CDC Level 3 Travel Health Notice within the last fourteen (14) days, (ii) been exposed to any person returning from a highly impacted area subject to a CDC Level 3 Travel Health Notice within the last 14 days, or (iii) been exposed to any person who has a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19. Finally, you agree to abide by any and all rules and COVID-19 protocols set forth by CNI, Proske, Inc., or any other service providers for the 2024 WAT.

Notwithstanding any protocols put in place for the event, CNI and Proske, Inc. cannot guarantee that you, and/or any of your family members or other individuals with which you are in contact will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending this event could increase your risk and/or your family members’ risk of contracting COVID-19. By completing your registration, you acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that you and/or your family members with which you are in contact with may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending the event and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and/or death. You understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 while attending the event may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of yourself or others, including, but not limited to, CNI and Proske, Inc. employees and/or contractors. You voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to yourself and/or any of your family members (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and/or death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that you and/or any of your family members may experience or incur in connection with your attendance at the event (collectively, “Covid-19 Claims”). On behalf of yourself, and on behalf of your family members, you hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless CNI and Proske, Inc., their employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries, assigns, contractors and representatives, of and from any and all Covid-19 Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. You understand and agree that this release includes any Covid-19 Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of CNI and Proske, Inc., their employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries, assigns, contractors and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after the event.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify CNI and any of its officers, directors, and employees from and against any claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature, including but not limited to reasonable legal and accounting fees, brought by third parties as a result of:

• your breach of these Terms and Conditions;
• your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or your use of the Website.

12. Miscellaneous

The validity, interpretation, terms, enforcement and performance of these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, those laws of the State of Georgia. With respect to any action to enforce or interpret these Terms and Conditions, or otherwise arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions or the 2024 WAT, each party (i) consents and submits to personal jurisdiction and venue in the Superior Court of Lee County, State of Georgia (referred to as the “Court”); (ii) waives any and all objections to jurisdiction and venue in the Court; and (iii) waives any objection that the Court is an inconvenient forum. Each party further agrees that jurisdiction and venue concerning any legal or equitable action to enforce or interpret these Terms and Conditions, or otherwise arising out of these Terms and Conditions or the 2024 WAT, shall rest exclusively in the Superior Court of Lee County, State of Georgia, so that any such action shall be brought and defended in the Court.

If any part of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired. CNI’s failure or delay in enforcing any provision of these Terms and Conditions at any time does not waive CNI’s right to enforce the same or any other provision(s) hereof in the future.

These Terms and Conditions (and any other terms and conditions referenced herein) constitutes the entire agreement between you and CNI with respect to this Website and the 2024 WAT, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and CNI. A printed version of these Terms and Conditions and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial, arbitration or any other administrative proceedings to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
