1. Release of Liability and Covenant Not to Sue: In return for being allowed to participate in Walk for Peace volunteer activities and all related activities, including any activities incidental to such participation (“Volunteer Activities”), the undersigned Volunteer (or Parent/Legal Guardian if Volunteer is under age 18; hereafter referred to as “I”, “me”, or “my”) hereby releases and agrees not to sue Walk for Peace or its officers, directors, employees, sub-contractors, sponsors, agents, and affiliates (collectively, the “Organization”) from all present and future claims that may be made by me, my family, estate, heirs, or assigns for property damage, personal injury, or wrongful death arising as a result of my participation in the Volunteer Activities, wherever, whenever, or however the same may occur.
2. Assumption of Risk: I understand and agree that Walk for Peace is not responsible for any injury or property damage arising out of the Volunteer Activities, even if caused by their ordinary negligence or otherwise. I understand that participation involves certain risks, including, but not limited to, serious injury and death. I am voluntarily participating with knowledge of the danger involved and agree to accept all risks of participation.
3. Indemnification and Scope: I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Walk for Peace for all claims arising out of my participation in the Volunteer Activities. I understand that this document is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the state in which the Volunteer Activities take place. If any portion of this Agreement is found invalid, the remainder will continue in full legal force and effect.
4. Insurance and Health: I acknowledge that Walk for Peace has not arranged and does not carry any insurance of any kind for my benefit. I represent that, to my knowledge, I am in good health and suffer no physical impairment that would or should prevent my participation in Volunteer Activities.
5. Volunteer Relationship and Expenses: I understand and agree that my service is provided strictly on a volunteer basis. I am not an employee, agent, or official representative of Walk for Peace, and I have no authority to enter into agreements or make representations on the organization’s behalf. I further acknowledge that any and all travel expenses—including but not limited to transportation, parking, fuel, and lodging—incurred in connection with my volunteer activities are my sole responsibility and will not be reimbursed by the Organization.
6. At-Will Participation: I acknowledge that this relationship is "at-will" for both parties. I may choose to end my volunteer service at any time, and Walk for Peace reserves the right to release me from my volunteer duties at any time, with or without cause or prior notice.
I DO HEREBY CERTIFY BY MY SIGNATURE THAT I HAVE READ, DO UNDERSTAND AND DO AGREE TO THE ABOVE-MENTIONED TERMS.
