NYIABF ATTENDANCE WAIVER
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious, and people can be infected and show no symptoms and therefore spread the disease. It is known that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness, permanent disability, and even death.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any place where people gather. By attending the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair you and your guests and/or staff assume all risks, hazards, and dangers arising from or relating in any way to the risk of you and/or your child(ren), and/or guests contracting a communicable disease or illness—including, without limitation, exposure to COVID-19 or any other bacteria, virus, or other pathogen capable of causing a communicable disease or illness, whether that exposure occurs before, during, or after the event, and regardless of how caused or contracted—and you, your heirs, assignees, next of kin, and/or legally appointed or designated representatives hereby waive any and all claims and potential claims against Sanford L. Smith & Associates LTD, the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and The Seventh Regiment Armory Conservancy and against any companies or persons affiliated with Sanford L. Smith & Associates LTD, the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and The Seventh Regiment Armory Conservancy—relating to such risks, hazards, and dangers.

The laws of the State of New York apply to this waiver.
