Volunteers and parents of volunteers agreeing to participate in volunteer activities must recognize and appreciate that there are always inherent risks of injury associated with any volunteer activities. Such risks will vary depending upon the nature of the particular volunteer activity and the physical condition of the volunteer. Please recognize that Veterans Collaborative, Inc., including its programs, projects and affiliates, does not carry medical/accident insurance for injuries sustained in its volunteer programs. It should be further recognized that the absence of medical/accident insurance does not make Veterans Collaborative, Inc. responsible for the payment or reimbursement of medical expenses. Therefore, each person participating in volunteer activities, and/or their parents, does so at their own risk and is solely responsible for any injuries or medical costs incurred as a result of volunteer activities. WAIVER & RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS: Please read this form carefully and be aware that agreeing to your participation in volunteer activities or the participation of a family member, you will be waiving and releasing any and all claims for damages or injuries that you or your minor child/ward might sustain arising out of or in connection with the volunteer activities. As a participant or parent/guardian of the participant in the volunteer activities, I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury, and I agree to assume the full risk of any injuries, damages, or loss which I or my minor child/ward may sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with or associated with the volunteer activities. I agree to waive and relinquish any and all claims that I or my minor child/ward may have against Veterans Collaborative, their officers, officials, landlords, volunteers, agents and employees as a result of and in connection with participating in the volunteer activities. I do hereby fully release and discharge Veterans Collaborative, their officers, officials, landlords, volunteers, agents and employees from any and all claims from injuries, damage, or loss which I or my minor child/ward may have or which may assure to me or my minor child/ward on account of participation in the volunteer activities. I further agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Veterans Collaborative, their officers, officials, landlords, volunteers, agents and employees from any and all claims resulting from injuries, damages, and losses sustained by me or my minor child/ward, or arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with the activities of the volunteer activities. In the event of any emergency, I authorize Veterans Collaborative to secure from any licensed hospital, physician, or medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary for me or my child’s/ward’s immediate care and agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services rendered. I understand that there is no direct medical health coverage afforded to me during my relationship with Veterans Collaborative. PHOTOGRAPHIC RELEASE: I understand and agree that during the volunteer activities, I may be photographed and/or videotaped by the Veterans Collaborative for internal and/or promotional use. I hereby grant and convey to the Organization all right, title, and interest, including but not limited to, any royalties, proceeds, or other benefits, in any and all such photographs or recordings, and consent to Veterans Collaborative’s use of my name, image, likeness, and voice in perpetuity, in any medium or format, including but not limited to, in and on brochures and other print publications, electronic, magnetic, and optical media, display, point-of-sale, and other advertising and promotional materials, press releases, the internet and other digital transmission or delivery methods, mobile applications, on any platform and for any purpose, including but not limited to advertising, public relations, publicity, packaging, and promotion of Veterans Collaborative and its affiliates and its businesses, products, and services, without further compensation or permission. I hereby voluntarily, execute this Volunteer Waiver under the following terms: I, the Volunteer, release and hold harmless the Organization and its successors and assigns from any and all liability, claims, and demands of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, which arise or may hereafter arise from my volunteer work with the Organization. I understand that this Waiver discharges the Organization from any liability or claim that I, the Volunteer, may have against the Organization with respect to bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, or property damage that may result from my participation in the Organization’s activities. I also fully understand that the Organization does not assume any responsibility for or obligation to provide financial assistance or other assistance, including but not limited to medical, health or disability insurance, in the event of injury, illness, death or property damage. I, the Volunteer, understand that I expressly waive any such claim for compensation or liability on the part of the Organization beyond what may be offered freely by the representative of the Organization in the event of such injury or medical expense. I hereby release the Organization from any claim whatsoever which arises or may arise in the future on account of any first aid treatment or other medical services that are conducted in connection with an emergency during my time with the Organization. I understand that my time with the Organization may include various activities that may be hazardous to me and I hereby expressly and specifically assume the risk of injury or harm in these activities and release the Organization from all liability for injury, illness, death, or property damage resulting from the activities of my time with the Organization. I grant unto the Organization all right, title, and interest in any and all photographic images and video or audio recordings that are made by the Organization during my work with the Organization, including, but not limited to, any royalties, proceeds, or other benefits that are derived from such photographs or recordings. I expressly agree that this Waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the United States, and that this Waiver shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the United States. I agree that in the event that any clause or provision of this Waiver shall be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such clause or provision shall not otherwise affect the remaining provisions of this Release which shall continue to be enforceable.
