DISCLAIMER AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY
I, the undersigned, hereby elect to accept the invitation to participate in the VUMI^® Convention 2025 from July 13-18, 2025 to be held aboard a cruise around the Greek and Turkish Islands, under the sponsorship of VIP Universal Medical Insurance Group, Ltd., VUMI Group I.I. and its affiliate companies (hereafter “VUMI^®”).

I understand such travel, as any other, may be hazardous. I am fully aware of the risks involved and hazards connected to this activity, including but not limited to travel risks, the risk of injury, airborne sickness, infection, and possibly death, as well as damage to property, when traveling to and from, and/or within this international destination. I understand I may need to travel in areas where there is risk of virus outbreak, violence from crime, terrorism, political unrest and other dangers, and may be exposed to food, water and airborne diseases, and to disease from other carriers or while traveling internationally. I understand some diseases may not produce symptoms during the actual trip, but may occur after the trip. I understand also medical facilities abroad may not be of the quality of medical facilities in the continental United States or where I live.

I understand that VUMI^® strongly recommends purchasing travel insurance to cover any incident that may occur during the trip, especially coverage in case of infection with any virus, as well as coverage for medical care, exams and stay in designated hotels, in case the health authorities order me to comply with a quarantine period during the journey of my trip to or from my country of residence, or in Greece or Turkey. I understand that taking care of my health is a personal responsibility and that I assume all the consequences of my actions from the beginning of the trip until my return to my country of residence.

I understand there may be delays and sudden changes of schedules and/or cancellations of schedules. While reasonable care will be taken in selecting transportation, I understand breakdowns and delays may occur. I understand circumstances may arise such that I might be asked not to go on this trip or to return early, and in this case, no money will be refunded to me. I acknowledge I am in good health and good physical condition. I understand also the journey may involve strenuous physical activity, including, but not limited to, long walks and hiking in hills and or/ mountainous areas, or any other activities planned for the event. I also understand my participation in any event organized by VUMI^® is strictly voluntary.

I understand and acknowledge that while VUMI’s providers may take reasonable steps to ensure my safety during travel and while participating in the VUMI^® Convention 2025 activities while abroad, these precautions are merely made in good faith and do not warrant acceptance of liability, nor guarantee that actions undertaken will demonstrate and/or constitute non-negligent performance therein by the organization, its agents or assignees. I am aware that I should review my personal insurance portfolio, especially the travel, accident and medical coverage.

I voluntarily and personally assume the risk of any and all consequences of my travel with VUMI^® and for services received from their third-party providers, like hotel accommodations, sightseeing tours, activities, transfers, luggage handling, entertainment, transportation (ground and air), tour operators, etc., selected by VUMI^® to provide travel and entertainment during the days of the event.

It is my express intent that this Waiver of Liability and Hold Harmless Agreement shall bind the members of my family and spouse, if I am alive, and my heirs, assigns and personal representative, if I am deceased, and shall be deemed as a RELEASE, WAIVER, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE VUMI^®, its officers, personnel or volunteers, hereafter the “RELEASEES”, resulting from any cause whatsoever, including but not limited to sickness, including but not limited to the inherent risk of exposure to any virus that exists in any public place where people are present, personal injury, property damage, delay, change of schedule, wrongful death, theft or loss of property. I further hereby AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS the RELEASEES from any loss, liability, damage or costs, including court costs and attorney fees, that they may incur due to my participation in this activity, WHETHER CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE OF RELEASEES or otherwise.

I hereby further agree this Waiver of Liability and Hold Harmless Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, County of Miami Dade, United States of America. In the event any term or provision of this WAIVER OF LIABILITY is found to be unenforceable or void, in whole or in part, then the offending term shall be construed as valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the balance with this WAIVER OF LIABILITY shall remain in full force and effect.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
