This Agreement is the entire agreement between PYC and me with respect to the subject matter in this agreement
and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, reputations or warranties, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this agreement. If any term or provision of this Agreement is
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable the terms of this agreement in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement is binding on and benefits both me and PYC and our

- Otherwise comply with all other directions and guidelines provided by provincial and federal health authorities.
I understand and acknowledge that while the above measures may mitigate the spread of infectious diseases, they cannot prevent it. I assume all risk and liability for the spread of infectious diseases and I agree to indemnify and save harmless the Releasees for any cause of action or suit related to the spread of infectious diseases, including but not limited to COVID-19, howsoever caused, whether arising by reason of the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise.
