Soles4Souls Volunteer Liability Waiver and Agreement


Colorado

By signing below, I, the volunteer (or 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 Soles4Souls’ volunteer policies, safety rules, conduct expectations, and other directions. I understand that Soles4Souls does not tolerate bullying, harassment, threatening behavior, or violence of any kind. I understand that noncompliance may result in termination of my volunteer status.

Volunteer Not an Employee
I understand that (a) I am not an employee of Soles4Souls, (b) I will not be paid for my participation, and (c) I am not covered by or eligible for any Soles4Souls insurance, health care, worker’s compensation, or other benefits. I understand that Soles4Souls may terminate my volunteer status at any time, for any or no reason.

Risks Associated with Volunteering

Volunteering for Soles4Souls 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 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 Soles4Souls facilities or encountered when traveling for Soles4Souls activities offsite. I also understand that even if Soles4Souls, I, and other persons present at Soles4Souls 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 Soles4Souls; (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 Soles4Souls facilities or elsewhere, that may result, directly or indirectly, from my presence at Soles4Souls facilities or participation as a Soles4Souls volunteer, regardless of the cause.

Waiver and Release of Claims

I waive and release Soles4Souls and its directors, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, and affiliates (collectively, “Soles4Souls 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 Soles4Souls facilities or participation in Soles4Souls 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 Soles4Souls Parties on the basis of these waived and released claims. I understand and expressly waive and release any and all claims, including claims that are unknown to me or that may arise in the future, whether foreseen or unforeseen, which may arise from my participation as a volunteer.

 
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 my supervisor or other staff at Soles4Souls, including chronic conditions such as asthma, allergies, seizures, or diabetes. I understand that Soles4Souls needs such information because some medication side effects or medical conditions could affect my safety or that of others at Soles4Souls. I consent to Soles4Souls sharing this information with health professionals or first responders should I become ill or injured while at Soles4Souls facilities.

Medical Care Consent and Waiver
I authorize Soles4Souls 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 Soles4Souls 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 Soles4Souls does not provide health, medical, disability, or other insurance coverage for me.

Confidentiality
I may have access to Soles4Souls’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 Soles4Souls expressly authorizes.

Assignment of Work Product
I grant full rights to Soles4Souls 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 Soles4Souls of My Name and Image
I understand that Soles4Souls may take photos or videos of me. I consent to use by Soles4Souls of my image, voice, name, and story, and of images of any works I may create as a volunteer (collectively, “Materials”), in Soles4Souls’s digital and print promotional, fundraising, educational, and other communications. Soles4Souls may use the Materials without obtaining my approval or paying me for such use. I grant Soles4Souls 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. My checking this box means that I do not wish to agree to this consent:
General Provisions
I understand that this Agreement will be binding for so long as I am a volunteer at Soles4Souls. This Agreement will run in favor of, and may be enforced by, each of the Soles4Souls 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 Colorado law.
