In Spring 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) a worldwide pandemic. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) issued several preventative measures to combat the virus, such as frequent hand washing, wearing a mask or face covering and keeping at least 6 feet away from others. If contracted, this virus has the ability to cause the traveler serious and severe illness. For more information on the COVID-19 virus, please visit the CDC webpage at www.cdc.gov. I understand and agree to the following: 

1. COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus that can be spread via person to person contact; 

2. After reasonable inquiry, Travel By Design provided me with the best available information regarding the pandemic-protective policies and practices of the vendors and suppliers in my travel itinerary. 

3. Supplier(s) of Travel By Design may have policies in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Travel By Design is not the drafter or holder of those policies and I understand that these policies can change at any time; 

4. I understand that the supplier(s) may not apply those policies as diligently as the policies suggest and even if the supplier makes a good faith effort to enforce its good practices, some travelers may simply refuse to cooperate; 

5. I understand that each state/country institutes their own pandemic protective policies and regulations. I further understand that I am responsible for knowing, understanding and abiding by the pandemic protective policies and procedures regarding COVID-19 of all state(s)/ country(ies) listed in my travel itinerary, including any policy updates. I also understand that I may be denied entry into the country for reasons within or outside of my control;

 6. I understand that by traveling, I can be subject to voluntary or involuntary quarantine either at home or in the traveled location(s); 

7. I am responsible for knowing, understanding and abiding by the pandemic protective policies and procedures regarding COVID-19 of all vendors used in my travel itinerary, including any policy updates; 

8. With full awareness and appreciation of the risks involved, I, for myself, and on behalf of my traveling companions, including, but not limited to, my family, spouse, estate, heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and personal representatives, assume all risks of travel and hereby forever hold harmless, waive, discharge, and release Travel By Design its officers, agents, independent contractors, affiliates, employees, successors, and assigns (collectively the “Released Parties”) from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action, directly or indirectly arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may be sustained by me related to COVID-19 whether caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or any third-party vendor or supplier partnering with Travel By Design. 

9. I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all costs, expenses, damages, claims, lawsuits, judgments, losses, and/or liabilities (including attorney fees) arising either directly or indirectly from or related to any and all claims made by or against any of the Released Parties due to bodily injury or harm, death, loss of use, monetary loss, or any other injury from or related to my use of Travel By Design services, or the services of travel Travel By Design suppliers or vendors, specifically related to COVID-19
