In consideration of my desire to serve as a volunteer for Humble Dwellings, an Iowa Non Profit Corporation, I hereby assume all responsibility for any and all risk of property damage, bodily injury, illness or death that that may result by my participation in any voluntary effort, or any other activity of any nature. I understand my volunteer efforts may include, but are not limited to, obtaining donations for gently used home furnishings, collecting and storing such furnishings, transporting and moving furnishings to client dwellings, as well as hanging curtains, art work, pictures and mirrors. Such activities may be hazardous to me, and I hereby expressly and specifically assume the risk of injury or harm in these activities.
I agree to abide by all rules, regulations and directives from Humble Dwellings Board members and leaders concerning safety of moving and transporting furnishings, as well as the safety and the use of all facilities, organization owned vehicles and equipment. If I fail to do so, I understand the organization can
immediately terminate my volunteer activities.
Further, I, for myself and my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, hereby release, waive, discharge and hold harmless Humble Dwellings and its officers, directors, agents, affiliated organizations, and volunteers of and from any and all claims which I or my heirs, administrators and assigns ever may have against any of the above for, on account of, by reason of, or arising in connection with such volunteer efforts or my participation therein, and hereby waive all such claims, demands and causes of action.
I understand Humble Dwellings does not assume any responsibility or obligation to provide financial or other assistance, including but not limited to medical, health or disability insurance, in the event of injury, illness, death or property damage. I UNDERSTAND I AM ENCOURAGED AND EXPECTED TO CARRY PERSONAL LIABILITY OR HEALTH INSURANCE PRIOR TO VOLUNTEERING.
Further, I expressly agree that this Liability Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Iowa, and that this Liability Release shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa. Jurisdiction and venue for any action with respect to this Liability Release shall only be in Scott County, State of Iowa. I agree that in the event any portion of this Liability Release is held invalid, the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full force and effect.
I hereby warrant that I have every right to contract in my own name in the above regard. Further, I have personally and carefully read the foregoing release and understand the contents thereof and sign this release as my own free act. I understand I am giving up substantial rights, including, but not limited to, my right to sue.
