Volunteer Waiver and Release Agreement

On behalf of myself, my children, spouse, heirs, family, successors and assigns, I voluntarily assume any and all risks arising out of or connected with my participation as a volunteer in the above-referenced event.

I forever release, waive and hold harmless the City of Lincoln, its elected officials, employees, agents, and insureds (the “City”) from any and all claims, injuries, losses, costs, damages, attorney’s fees and causes of actions that may result from my participation in the event.

I understand there may be large and unpredictable crowds, animals, fireworks and situations may occur that may result in injury to me, including physical and emotional injuries, exposure to communicable disease and illness up to and including permanent disability or death.

I knowingly waive the provisions of California Civil Code § 1542 which reads:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

I understand the significance of my waiver of Section 1542. I acknowledge that if I or my property is injured, damaged, or becomes ill or worse, neither I, my legal representatives, children, spouse, heirs, assigns nor estate will be able to make claims against the City for those damages and injuries.

I agree and understand this agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of California, and if any portion of this agreement is invalid, it is agreed the remainder of this agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

I have carefully read this agreement, fully understand its contents, and agree to each statement set forth herein. I am aware that this is a release of liability and a contract to hold harmless the City from all liability, losses and damages I may suffer.

BY SIGNING THIS RELEASE, WAIVER AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT - I AGREE.
