VOLUNTEER AGREEMENT AND RELEASE
I understand that volunteering at Phnom Penh Animal Welfare Society (PPAWS) may require me to come in contact with animals, and that there are risks associated with my volunteer activities, including but not limited to dog or cat bites and/or scratches. I assume the risks and accept personal liability for any damages that might occur as a result of my volunteer activities with PPAWS.
I release PPAWS, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and volunteers (Released Parties), from any and all claims I may have, or which may hereafter accrue to me, against Released Parties for personal injury, including death, as well as all property damage or loss, arising out of my volunteer activity with PPAWS.
I hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PPAWS, their officers, directors, employees, agents, and volunteers, from and against all claims and demands whatsoever that may arise out of my volunteer activities.
I hereby agree that the photographs and/or video images taken of me and my pet (or shelter animal) may be used in perpetuity by PPAWS for the purposes of publicity, education, fundraising, or otherwise promoting the mission and activities of PPAWS. I understand that I will receive no name recognition or monetary compensation for the use of said photograph(s) and/or video footage, to be used either in print or on the PPAWS website and that this agreement will remain binding and have legal effect regardless of whether my association with PPAWS continues.
Further, I specifically agree as follows:
- That all shelter animals are the property of PPAWS and shall not be sold, given away, or adopted out without prior approval of authorized personnel.
- To keep all PPAWS information in strict confidence at all times.
- To report to PPAWS staff, any conditions which I feel are unsafe
- To report to PPAWS staff, any injury that occurs during volunteer service
I understand that this Volunteer Agreement and Release is binding on my heirs, assigns and legal representatives.
This Volunteer Agreement and Release form is executed by me voluntarily and without reliance upon any representation by any person.
