Liability Waiver and Hold Harmless Agreement
I,{name} hereby acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions in connection with my voluntary services provided to Resilience Relief & Recovery Reach, Inc. (“R4”):
Volunteer Status. I understand and agree that I am providing services to R4 on a voluntary basis. I am not an employee, agent, or key personnel of any R4 affiliate.
Non-Representative Capacity. I acknowledge that none of my actions or statements shall be construed as a representative of R4. I do not have the authority to act on behalf of R4 in any capacity.
Limitation of Liability. I understand and agree that R4 shall not be liable for any actions, claims, damages, or liabilities arising out of or in connection with voluntary services, including but not limited to any negligent acts or omissions on my part.
Independence of Actions. I affirm that all actions I take while volunteering for R4 are undertaken voluntarily and under my own volition. I am solely responsible for my actions and decisions.
Third-Party Disclaimer. I acknowledge that any third party engaged and/or otherwise associated with R4 is not liable for any of my actions or statements while I volunteer for R4.
Assumption of the Risk. Physical activity, by its very nature, carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the effort to avoid injuries. The specific risks vary from one activity to another, but the risks range from minor injuries such as bruises and sprains to major injuries such as an eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, heart attacks and concussions, to catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death. I have read the previous paragraphs and I know, understand, and appreciate these and other risks. I hereby assert that my participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks.
Hold Harmless Clause. I hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless R4 and any third party engaged and/or otherwise associated with R4, their officers, directors, employees, agents, and assigns, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), or any other legal actions or proceedings resulting from my actions, omissions, or conduct in the course of my volunteer work.
Severability. I agree that the foregoing waiver, assumption of risk and indemnification provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as it is permitted by the laws of the state I am volunteering in and that if any portion is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it is agreed that the remaining portions shall continue in full force and effect.
By signing this waiver, I release R4 and any third party engaged and/or otherwise associated with R4 from any liability, claims, or demands arising from my volunteer activities and agree to hold them harmless from any future claims.
