​

The Volunteer desires to provide volunteer services for WBHSFCF and engage in activities related to serving as a volunteer. Volunteer understands that the scope of Volunteer’s relationship is limited to a volunteer position and that no compensation is expected in return for services provided by Volunteer; that WBHSFCF will not provide any benefits traditionally associated with employment to Volunteer; and that Volunteer is responsible for his/her own insurance coverage in the event of personal injury or illness as a result of Volunteer’s services to WBHSFCF.

 

1. Waiver and Release: I, the Volunteer, release and forever discharge and hold harmless WBHSFCF and its successors and assigns from any and all liability, claims, and demands of whatever kind of nature, either in law or in equity, which arise or may hereafter arise from the services I provide to WBHSFCF. I understand and acknowledge that this Release discharges WBHSFCF from any liability or claim that I may have against WBHSFCF with respect to bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, or property damage that may result from the services I provide to WBHSFCF or occurring while I am providing volunteer services.

​

2. Insurance: Further I understand that WBHSFCF does not assume any responsibility for or obligation to provide me with financial or other assistance, including but not limited to medical, health, or disability benefits or insurance. I expressly waive any such claim for compensation or liability on the part of WBHSFCF beyond what may be offered freely by WBHSFCF in the event of injury or medical expenses incurred by me.

​

3. Medical Treatment: I hereby Release and forever discharge WBHSFCF from any claim whatsoever which arises or may hereafter arise on account of any first-aid treatment or other medical services rendered in connection with an emergency during my tenure as a volunteer with WBHSFCF.

​

4. Assumption of Risk: I understand that the services I provide to WBHSFCF may include activities that may be hazardous to me including, but not limited to construction activities, loading and unloading of heavy equipment and materials, and local transportation to and from work sites, involving inherently dangerous activities. As a volunteer, I hereby expressly assume risk of injury or harm from these activities and Release WBHSFCF from all liability.

​

5. Photographic Release: I grant and convey to WBHSFCF all right, title, and interests in any and all photographs, images, video, or audio recordings of me or my likeness or voice made by WBHSFCF in connection with my providing volunteer services to WBHSFCF.

​

6. Other: As a volunteer, I expressly agree that this Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of California and that this Release shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. I agree that in the event that any clause or provision of this Release is deemed invalid, the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Release shall not be affected.

​

By signing below, I, the undersigned volunteer, or parent/legal guardian of the volunteer if the volunteer is under age 18, express my understanding and intent to enter into this Release and Waiver of Liability willingly and voluntarily.
