Acknowledgement and Release of Liability

Members and Guests of COSAP understand that they may choose to participate in programs, events and activities which will take place at numerous locations. Should they suffer any injury of any sort during the course of such activities, they acknowledge that they may not hold COSAP or any persons connected with COSAP responsible for such injury and agree to release all parties of any liability in connection therewith. 

If any member or guest of COSAP has any condition which may make an activity (including any meals or food which may be offered or provided) any more hazardous for them than for the average person, they undertake to bring this to the attention of COSAP at admin@cosap.ca, the trainer, instructor or activity leader and accept his or her judgment as to the advisability of their participation. 

Anyone who fails to mention such condition or decides to continue with the program, event or activity whether or not being advised not to must understand that he or she does so entirely at her or his own risk, relying on his or her own judgment for this purpose. 

Members and guests should also note that, if any member or guest, while on an activity, event or program of COSAP, should cause damage to person or property, they are NOT relieved of liability even if the insurance of COSAP or any other person may also provide coverage.

Copyright Rules for COSAP Courses

Under the Fair Dealing Guidelines, trainers, instructors and artists may communicate and reproduce, in paper or electronic form, short excerpts from a copyright-protected work for the

purposes of research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire

or parody copying or communicating short excerpts from a copyright-protected work

under this Fair Dealing Guideline for the purpose of news reporting, criticism or review

must mention the source and, if given in the source, the name of the author or creator of

the work.

A copy of a short excerpt from a copyright-protected work may be provided or

communicated to each COSAP member or guest enrolled in a class or course:

(a) as a class handout.

(b) as a posting to a learning or course management system that is password

protected or otherwise restricted to students of the university.

(c) as part of a course pack.

A short excerpt means:

• up to 10% of a copyright-protected work (including a literary work, musical score, sound recording, and an audiovisual work).
• one chapter from a book.
• a single article from a periodical.
• an entire artistic work (including a painting, print, photograph, diagram, drawing, map, chart, and plan) from a copyright-protected work containing other artistic works.
• an entire newspaper article or page.
• an entire single poem or musical score from a copyright-protected work containing other poems or musical scores.
• an entire entry from an encyclopedia, annotated bibliography, dictionary or similar reference work provided that in each case, no more of the work is copied than is required in order to achieve the allowable purpose.

Important Considerations

It is definitely preferable to include a link to a newspaper article or other online source

than to try to reproduce the document.

Trainers, instructors and artists are responsible for citing the source for any excerpts or graphics that are reproduced for hand out to members or guests.

Copying or communicating multiple short excerpts from the same copyright-protected

work, with the intention of copying or communicating substantially the entire work, is

prohibited.
