Wellness Break/Special Event Liability Waiver

As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. Wellness activities provided by ACT vendors are not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis, or treatment. Involvement in these wellness activities may not be recommended under certain medical conditions. I affirm that I alone am responsible to decide whether to engage in any wellness activity. I hereby agree to irrevocably release and waive any claims that I have now or hereafter may have against any ACT and its vendors in relation to the ACT Virtual Annual Meeting.

By participating in the virtual ToxTrot I understand that the 5K is a physical activity and certify that I am physically fit. I understand my physical limitations and am sufficiently self-aware to stop physical activity before I become ill or injured. I am aware no water stations exist on the routes. I will obey all traffic laws and regulations. I understand that by participating in this virtual activity I am waiving my right to assert any claim or cause of action against ACT, the vendor Swift Fit Events and its employees in my exchange for taking part in the ToxTrot. I authorize the use of pictures uploaded using the hashtag #ACTOX2020 to be used for website, marketing, or press purposes.
