Note – ‘the Studio’ refers to any and all venues hired for the delivery of in-person services by Namakind.
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organisation. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.
Namakind has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the studio cannot guarantee your safety from COVID-19 within any of the studio’s premises that we hire to conduct our activites. As such, the studio will require an undertaking of risk and waiver of liability from all customers before we can allow them to attend and/or participate in any class, course, workshop or event.
