Release and Waiver

 

This Release and Waiver of Liability release The Epworth Foundation, a non-profit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Colorado and each of its directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents (hereinafter collectively referred to as "The Epworth Foundation." The Volunteer desires to provide services on a pure volunteer basis for The Epworth Foundation and engage in various endeavors and activities while serving as a volunteer.

1. Waiver and Release: I, the Volunteer, release and forever discharge and hold harmless The Epworth Foundation and its successors and assigns from any and all liability, claims, and demands, either in law or in equity, of every kind and nature, which arise out of or in any way, relate to the services I provide to or on behalf of The Epworth Foundation. I understand and acknowledge that this Waiver and Release fully and completely discharges The Epworth Foundation from any and all liability, demands, or claims that I may now or in the future have against The Epworth Foundation concerning bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, property damage and any torts of any kind or nature that may result from the services provided by me to or on behalf of The Epworth Foundation, occurring while I am providing volunteer services. 

 

2. Insurance: Further, I understand that The Epworth Foundation does not assume any responsibility for nor does it have any obligation to provide me with financial or other assistance, including but not limited to medical, health, accident, or disability benefits or insurance. I expressly waive any such claim for compensation or liability on the part of The Epworth Foundation beyond what may, from time to time, be offered freely by The Epworth Foundation in the event of injury or medical expenses incurred by me. 

 

3. Medical Treatment: I hereby Release and forever discharge The Epworth Foundation from any claim whatsoever that 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 The Epworth Foundation. 

 

4. Regarding the COVID-19 Virus, I attest that I am not experiencing any illness symptoms such as a fever, cough, or shortness of breath; and I have not been in contact with anyone with the COVID-19 Virus within the last two weeks. If I develop or experience any of these symptoms, I agree to cancel my shift before arriving at The Epworth Foundation. I am also aware that I must follow the safety and hygiene protocols implemented by the CDC, local health officials, and The Epworth Foundation.

 

 

I attest that:

• To the best of my knowledge, information, and belief, I have not been exposed to a person with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19
• I have not been diagnosed with COVID-19 and not yet cleared as noncontagious by state or local public health authorities
• I agree to be tested for COVID-19 when I arrive to Volunteer

 

5. Assumption of Risk: I understand that the services I provide to The Epworth Foundation may include activities that may be hazardous to me, including, but not limited to, driving, lifting heavyweight, interacting with people who may have COVID-19, and involving inherently dangerous activities. As a volunteer, I hereby expressly assume the risk of injury or harm from these activities and Release The Epworth Foundation from all liability. 
6.

I also understand that as a volunteer driver, my personal auto insurance will be activated for any accidents or incidents that involve my vehicle, including those that occur while I am serving as a volunteer driver for The Epworth Foundation. I understand that driving is a privilege, not a right, and therefore, I agree to:
   1. Provide evidence of my current status as a licensed driver 
   2. Provide proof of insurance
   3. Comply with all the foundation's policies and procedures and any directions provided by my supervisor/captain
   4. Comply with all laws and regulations concerning driving, including laws on the use of seat belts, child safety seats, cell phone use, and speed limits

   6. Notify my supervisor of any traffic citations I receive—even if given while driving on my time
   7. Deliver all baskets and return undelivered gift cards to the foundation – if gift cards are not returned, I will assume the balance and personally pay the foundation.

This Release shall be governed by and interpreted per the laws of the State of Colorado.
