(1)  Contracting and/or transmitting COVID-19 and any other communicable diseases; and
(2)  Potential exposure to conditions common in historic structures, including asbestos, lead based paint, dust, poor air circulation, and high temperatures.

Furthermore, Los Angeles County, as the owner of the premises, advises that with respect to Floors 13-15 of the premises:

(1)  N95 masks must be worn at all times;
(2)  Such portion of the premises is not fully accessible for wheelchairs or those with mobility limitations;
(3)  Because of the foregoing limitations, it is optional whether participants choose to participate in the tour with respect to such portion of the premises; and
(4)  This information is provided so participants can make an informed decision about their comfort and safety during the tour.

All participants AGREE TO RELEASE, DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, NOT SUE, AND HOLD HARMLESS the Los Angeles Conservancy, the County of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, the Los Angeles General Medical Center, and their principals, officers, employees, volunteers, sponsors, agents and other participants from any and all claims, damages (including medical expenses and attorneys’ fees), injuries and expenses arising out of, or resulting from your voluntary attendance/participation in Walking Tours, including any and all injury, illness, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property.
 
All participants expressly waive the benefits of California Civil Code 1542, which provides that: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
