Volunteer Liability Waiver and Agreement
This document explains the possible risks of volunteering and includes liability waivers, consents, and other legal agreements.
By agreeing in the application form, I, the volunteer (or the volunteer’s legal guardian), acknowledge that entry into
this agreement (“Agreement”) is in consideration of my participation as a volunteer and
confirm my understanding and agreement to the following:

Policies and Safety Rules
I will comply with the Client’s volunteer policies, safety rules, conduct expectations, and other
directions. I understand that the Client does not tolerate bullying, harassment, threatening
behaviour, or violence of any kind. I understand that noncompliance may result in the termination
of my volunteer status.

Volunteer, not an Employee
I understand that (a) I am not an employee of the Client, (b) I will not be paid for my participation,
and (c) I am not covered by or eligible for any Client insurance, health care, worker’s.
compensation, or other benefits. I understand that the Client may terminate my volunteer status at
any time, for any or no reason.

Risks Associated with Volunteering
Volunteering for Clients has risks. These risks may arise in a variety of ways. They include,
without limitation: My lifting heavy objects or otherwise exerting myself, handling glass and
other materials, using hot or sharp objects or other tools, being exposed to dust, loud noises,
and interacting with and being in the presence of other volunteers, visitors and
other people. I understand that these risks include risks of injury, illness, death, and property
damage or loss, and that they may arise from my own actions or from the actions of others at
or near the Client facilities or encountered when travelling for the Client activities offsite. I also
understand that even if the Client, I, and other persons present at the Client facilities follow all health and safety protocols, I may still be exposed to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases.

Awareness and Assumption of Risk
I understand the information above and confirm and acknowledge that these are risks
associated with volunteering. With such information and awareness, and with the recognition
that other factors may create additional such risks, I knowingly, freely, and voluntarily: (a) sign
up to volunteer for the Client; (b) engage in volunteer activities; and (c) assume and accept the
risks of all injury, death, property damage or loss, financial obligation, loss of privacy, loss of
reputation, and all other injuries and other consequences, whether known or unknown,
whether foreseen or unforeseeable, and whether incurred at the Client facilities or elsewhere, that
may result, directly or indirectly, from my presence at the Client facilities or participation as a
Client volunteer, regardless of the cause.

Waiver and Release of Claims
I waive and release the Client and its directors, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, and
affiliates (collectively, “Client Parties”) from any and all liability, claims, costs, and expenses of
any kind and of whatever nature which I or my heirs, next of kin, or legal representatives may
have or which may later accrue, caused by or arising directly or indirectly from my presence at
the Client facilities or participation in Client activities. This release and waiver includes, in each
such case, all claims in respect of the risks noted above, known, and unknown, foreseen and
unforeseeable, regardless of the cause or whether such claims arise from tort, contract, or
otherwise, and even if caused by negligence, whether passive or active. I will not sue any of
the Client Parties on the basis of these waived and released claims.

Disclosure of Medical Conditions
I understand that I am solely responsible for knowing my own physical condition and making
my own decision about volunteering. I have disclosed all medications and conditions relevant
to my participation to the Client, including chronic conditions such as asthma, allergies, seizures, or diabetes. I understand that the Client needs such information because some medication side effects or medical conditions could affect my safety or that of others. I consent to the Client sharing this information with health professionals or first responders should I become ill or injured while at the Client facilities.

Medical Care Consent and Waiver
I authorize the Client to provide me with first aid and to arrange medical assistance,
transportation, and emergency medical services for me if I get hurt while volunteering. I
understand that the Client is not obligated to provide this care. I also understand that I am solely
responsible for any costs related to my medical treatment and transport, and that the Client does
not provide health, medical, disability, or other insurance coverage for me.

Confidentiality
I may have access to the Client’s confidential information. At all times during and after my
participation, I agree to hold any such confidential information in confidence and not disclose
or use it except as Client expressly authorizes.

Assignment of Work Product
I grant full rights to the Client in any reports, brochures, website content, photos, images, videos,
or other materials or works I may create in the course of volunteer activities, and any
intellectual property rights in or derivatives of such materials.

Use by Client of My Name and Image
I understand that Client may take photos or videos of me. I consent to use by the Client of my
image, voice, name, and story, and of images of any works I may create as a volunteer
(collectively, “Materials”), in the Client’s digital and print promotional, fundraising, educational, and
other communications. The Client may use the Materials without obtaining my approval or paying
me for such use. I grant the Client all copyrights in and waive any legal claims relating to the
Materials, including those relating to copyright, rights of publicity or privacy, or defamation, or
arising from any distortion, blurring, or alteration that may occur in the making, editing, or use
of the Materials.

General Provisions
I understand that this Agreement will be binding for so long as I am a volunteer for the Client. This
Agreement will run in favour of, and may be enforced by, each of the Client Parties and will
bind my heirs, next of kin, and legal representatives. This Agreement will be binding to the
fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be
unenforceable, the other terms remain effective. This Agreement will be governed by
UK law.
