WAIVER
As an organization that deals with animals, the AniMeals non-profit does not have a medical or behavioral history of the animals that fosters may come into contact with. A certain amount of risk is always involved, especially with unpredictable animals.
FOSTER AGREEMENT
In consideration of this opportunity to foster with AniMeals, I agree to the following terms and conditions, intending to be legally bound by them:
1. I will abide with the mission, rules, regulations, policies and programs of AniMeals.
2. If I stop being a fosterer, or upon request by AniMeals, I will promptly return all AniMeals supplies, equipment, records and other items in good, clean condition.
3. Considering that fostering positions at AniMeals require dealing with animals, I certify that I am able to perform the essential functions of the position.
4. I assume the risk of being bitten, scratched or injured in connection with my fostering work. AniMeals is not liable to me for any injuries, illness, damages, liabilities, losses, judgments, costs or expenses whatsoever, which I might suffer or sustain in connection with fostering activities, unless they are the result of the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of AniMeals. I will indemnify, defend and hold the AniMeals organization harmless from and against any claims, lawsuits, injuries, damages, losses, costs or expenses whatsoever, sustained by any animal or person in connection with my intentional misconduct or grossly negligent performance of my fostering activities, or my breach of AniMeals rules, regulations, policies and programs.
5. I understand that because I will be in contact with animals, it is important to discuss the tetanus vaccine with my physician. I release AniMeals from all responsibility that may occur because of my not pursuing this matter further and I understand whatever decision I make is at my own risk. I have read, understand and agree to the above tetanus information.
6. I acknowledge and understand that as a fosterer of AniMeals, I am not covered by AniMeal’s workers compensation or any other insurance policy for any damages or injuries I may sustain during fostering activities.
7. If such an incident does occur, I understand that I am to immediately notify an AniMeals employee.
8. I understand that AniMeals may refuse fostering applications or discontinue fostering positions for any reason.
9. I have accurately and truthfully completed this Foster Application and Agreement.
10. I will immediately contact AniMeals if any health issues arise with my foster cats or kittens. If AniMeals is not contacted in an emergency situation I understand I will be denied from foster for AniMeals and will return all cats and their supplies.
11. Any modification to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. This Agreement is binding upon AniMeals, me and my respective heirs, successors, assigns, executors, and personal representatives.
