I acknowledge that by booking a room at the The Local – St. Augustine I agree to this RELEASE OF LIABILITY, I will be giving up certain legal rights on behalf of myself, my invited guests and my successors in interest.

This release specifically includes, but is not limited to, any and all losses, claims or damages arising out of or related to THE GUEST contracting COVID-19, which THE GUEST acknowledges is an inherent risk associated with entering public and private areas, including the Property, and over which the Releasees have no control.

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH 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 DRAFT 2 MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
