In consideration of my opportunity to volunteer with the Colorectal Cancer Alliance (“Organization”), I agree to the following:
I acknowledge that I have voluntarily applied to the Organization’s volunteer program. I understand that the scope of my volunteer relationship with the Organization is limited to a volunteer position and that:
No compensation is expected in return for services provided by me;
The Organization will not provide any benefits traditionally associated with employment, and I am responsible for my own insurance coverage in the event of illness or personal injury resulting from my services to the Organization.
I hereby release, discharge and agree to indemnify and hold the Organization harmless from, and waive on behalf of myself and my heirs and personal representatives any causes of action, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses and compensation for damage or loss to myself and/or property that any act may cause, or failure to act, of the Organization, or that may otherwise arise in any way in connection with any voluntary activities with, or for the Organization.
This release discharges the Organization from any liability or claim that I or my heirs, personal representatives, or minors I am responsible for may have concerning any bodily injury, illness, death, medical treatment, or property damage that may arise from or in connection with my volunteer activities. This liability waiver and release extends to the
Organization with its officers, directors, affiliates, employees and agents.
I agree that this release will be governed by District of Columbia law and that the exclusive venue for any dispute arising from this release will be a court of competent jurisdiction in Washington, DC.
