ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND INFORMED CONSENT AGREEMENT

I hereby acknowledge that I am aware and agree to comply with the RTC CODE OF CONDUCT and the COVID-19 PROTOCOLS and public and provincial health authorities’ recommendations.

1. I understand that the ability to play tennis, or be present on RTC property may be revoked, suspended temporarily or permanently in the event that my conduct is not in-line with RTC protocols and/or abiding by Ottawa Public Health requirements.
2. I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may spread COVID-19, be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participation; and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, infection, illness, permanent disability, and death. I further understand that the risk of spreading COVID-19, becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 during participation at RTC, may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, the active or passive negligence (such as the failure to adequately clean and disinfect surfaces, adequately screen participants).
3. I agree and accept responsibility to adhere to Ottawa Public Health’s (OPH) recommendations including, but not limited to staying home when showing signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (or COVID-19 like symptoms), self-isolating when required, limiting the number of people I come in contact with and practicing physical distancing by maintaining six (6) feet physical distancing between myself and others and wearing a mask.
4. I further understand that RTC will collect health and other personal information from me with the intent to fulfill the provincial requirement for screening all participants. I agree with the RTC practice of keeping my personal information confidential and subject only to legal requirements to disclose or legal exceptions (emergency). I understand that RTC will not disclose, divulge or otherwise communicate to any person or business any such confidential information without my written consent to do so.
