THE CONVENTION AND THE CORONAVIRUS

PLEASE NOTE: This page will be updated as new information about the Coronavirus emerges. We strongly encourage you to check back often for updates. As new information emerges, updates will be posted at the bottom of this page.

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization and is extremely contagious. The state of medical knowledge is evolving, but the virus is believed to spread from person-to-person contact and/or contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, and through the air. The virus that causes COVID-19 is constantly changing and evolving, causing new variants to emerge. People can be infected and show no symptoms and therefore, spread the disease. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death.

As an attendee of Dice Tower East (DTE), the Dice Tower strongly encourages you to apply relevant guidance from the United States Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov) and comply with applicable Florida State (https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/) and Orange County, Florida governmental directives (www.orangecountyfl.net/EmergencySafety/Coronavirus.aspx).

By purchasing a ticket to DTE, you agree to the following:

• To self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (symptoms typically include, but are not limited to fever, cough, and shortness of breath);
• To notify Sharon Madden by email at sharon@dicetower.com if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 within 14 days of your anticipated arrival date and withdraw from participation in DTE;
• To immediately cease participation in all convention activities and self-isolate if you experience symptoms of COVID-19 while attending DTE. If you are staying at the Caribe Royale, you will remain in your hotel room until medical assistance can be obtained. If you are not staying at the Caribe Royale, you will self-isolate at home or wherever you are staying and get medical assistance on your own; and
• To notify Sharon Madden immediately by email at sharon@dicetower.com if you experience symptoms of COVID-19 during or within 14 days after departing DTE.

The Dice Tower and Dice Tower East cannot guarantee that Participants will not become infected with COVID-19. By purchasing a ticket to DTE, you acknowledge the risk of such exposure, whether it be from other participants at DTE, any others at the Caribe Royale (hotel) unrelated and not connected to DTE or otherwise outside of the convention and hotel.

Further, by purchasing a ticket to DTE, you waive for yourself and for your executors, administrators, assignees and heirs any and all rights and claims for damages, losses, demands and any other actions whatsoever, which you may have or which may arise against the Dice Tower, Dice Tower East LLC, Thomas J. Vasel, Laura Vasel, and their heirs, successors, employees, directors, officers, associates, volunteers and agents (“Released Parties”), including but not limited to claims for any and all injuries, damages or illnesses suffered by you and/or your property, which may in any way whatsoever arise out of, be related to or be connected with the Premises or your presence at DTE, including but not limited to claims arising out of physical illness or death resulting from any exposure to COVID-19.
