In consideration of the opportunity afforded to me to participate as a volunteer for Sovereign Commons, I do hereby knowingly, freely and voluntarily release, waive, and forever discharge and hold harmless Sovereign Commons, its officers, members, agents, and volunteers from any and all liability, losses, expenses, damages, claims, demands, causes of action, or judgments, actions, suits of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, including without limitation attorneys' fees and court costs, which may be sustained by me and/or my family directly or indirectly in connection with or arising out of my participation as a volunteer, whether caused in whole or in part by the negligence of Sovereign Commons, its officers, members, agents, volunteers, or otherwise. I further agree not to represent myself as an officer, agent, or employee of Sovereign Commons and acknowledge that I am participating as a volunteer for the organization, on my own time and behalf. I have read this Release and Waiver of liability form and fully understand its terms. I further understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing this form and have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of any and all liability to the greatest extent permitted by law, and agree that if any portion of this Release and Waiver is held to be invalid, the balance notwithstanding, shall continue in full legal force and effect.
