COVID-19 Safety Acknowledgment – Liability Waiver and Release of Claims

In consideration of the opportunity provided by Databricks, Inc. and any of its affiliated entities (“Databricks”) to participate in an event held, organized, or sponsored by Databricks (“Event”), I (“Attendee”) hereby voluntarily state, represent, and agree as follows:
  1. Individuals Who Should Not Attend the Event. I certify that I do not fall into any of the following categories of individuals who should not attend the Event in light of the ongoing spread of COVID-19, and will not attend the Event if I fall into any such category, regardless of my registration status for the Event:
    1. Individuals who at the time of attendance or within the fourteen (14) days prior to the Event have experienced any symptoms associated with COVID-19, which include fever, cough, and shortness of breath, among others;
    2. Individuals who have traveled at any point in the fourteen (14) days prior to the Event either internationally or to a community in the U.S. that has experienced or is experiencing sustained community spread of COVID-19; or
    3. Individuals who believe that they may have been exposed to a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 or have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and are not yet cleared as non-contagious by state or local public health authorities or the health care team responsible for their treatment.
  2. Duty to Self-Monitor. I agree to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (symptoms typically include fever, cough, and shortness of breath) and to contact Databricks at [email protected] if I experience symptoms of COVID-19 within 14 days after participating in the Event.
    1. If Databricks is notified that an Attendee has tested positive for COVID-19 within fourteen (14) days after participating in the Event, the Databricks People Team will promptly notify Attendees of any potential exposure.
  3. Assumption of Risk. COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus and I acknowledge the inherent risk of exposure in any public venue. While Databricks has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, subject to applicable law, I recognize that Databricks cannot guarantee that Event participants, volunteers, partners, or others in attendance will not become infected with COVID-19, or any other infectious diseases. Accordingly, I hereby voluntarily assume the risk of exposure or infection by attending the Event, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, disability, and/or death.
  4. Release & Waiver. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the Event may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of others who may attend the event or their families, colleagues, or others with whom they may have contact. Therefore, I understand and agree that this release includes any claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of Databricks and its affiliated partners and sponsors, including in each case, without limitation, their directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (the “Released Parties”), whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in the Event.

    I HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, AND DEMANDS OF WHATEVER KIND OR NATURE AGAINST THE RELEASED PARTIES, EITHER IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES OR LOSSES CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR CONDUCT OF ANY KIND ON THE PART OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DEATH, BODILY INJURY, ILLNESS, ECONOMIC LOSS OR OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES, OR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, WHICH I, MY HEIRS, ASSIGNEES, NEXT OF KIN AND/OR LEGALLY APPOINTED OR DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVES, MAY HAVE OR WHICH MAY HEREINAFTER ACCRUE ON MY BEHALF, WHICH ARISE OR MAY HEREAFTER ARISE FROM MY PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENT.

  5. Compliance with Safety Measures. I agree to comply with all COVID-related procedures that may be implemented by Databricks and any of Databricks’ partners involved in holding the Event, including, but not limited to:
    1. Mask-wearing in designated spaces;
    2. Social distancing and restrictions on certain activities that carry higher COVID-related risk; and
