I agree to the acknowledgments, authorizations, releases, and agreements set forth in this Release and Waiver of Liability Agreement. In entering into this Agreement, I acknowledge that some of the Activities may involve hazardous activities that have inherent risks that could result in injuries or death. I have knowingly and voluntarily chosen to participate in the Activities despite these associated risks and freely assume all such risks, including any risks not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time and risks arising from the negligent acts or omissions of others.

I, for myself and on behalf of my assigns, representatives, heirs, executors, and administrators, hereby agree as follows:

1.     Authority to Seek Medical Care and Transport for Medical Care. I authorize and grant to MAKARIOS the authority, in the event that I am incapacitated and unable to make medical decisions for myself, to seek medical care for me, including, but not limited to, such medical and surgical treatment or procedures as the treating physician chosen by appropriate MAKARIOS personnel may, in such physician's sole determination, deem necessary or advisable. I further authorize and grant to MAKARIOS and the appropriate personnel authority to transport me at their discretion to such medical facilities as they may deem necessary or advisable. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or illness I may suffer during the Activities and agree to bear all costs related to such injury or illness, including all medical and surgical costs incurred by MAKARIOS for me upon the advice of the treating physician.

2.     RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION. I RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS MAKARIOS, ITS STAFF, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, MEMBERS, AND AUTHORIZED VOLUNTEERS (the “Releasees”) FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, LOSS, DAMAGE, OR EXPENSE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) AND ANY CLAIM OR DEMANDS FOR THE SAME ON ACCOUNT OF INJURY OR DEATH TO ME OR DAMAGE TO MY PROPERTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO MY PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITIES; THIS RELEASE, WAIVER, DISCHARGE, INDEMNIFICATION, AND HOLD-HARMLESS APPLIES EVEN IN THE EVENT OF NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT BY THE RELEASEES.

3.     Indemnification from Claims by Third Parties. I agree that, if despite this Release and Waiver of Liability Agreement, I or anyone acting on my behalf makes a claim against any of the Releasees, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless each of the Releasees from any litigation expenses, attorney’s fees, loss, liability, damage, or cost they may incur as a result of such claim.

4.     Complete, General & Unconditional Release. I acknowledge that it is my intention with this instrument to make a complete, general, and unconditional release of any and all claims whatsoever against the Releasees as set forth above. Furthermore, I acknowledge that neither MAKARIOS nor any of the Releasees has made any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the Activities or the materials or services provided.

5.     Media Release. I agree to let the Releasees use my name, picture, portrait, photograph, likeness, and demographic information free of charge in all forms and media or other manner for advertising, publication, or other lawful purpose, and I waive any right to inspect or approve the finished product, including written copy, which may be created in connection with such use. I agree that any such recording may be distributed through any means, including but not limited to fundraisers, DVDs, or the Internet. I release all claims against MAKARIOS with respect to the copyright, publication, or use of these video and audio recordings, photographs, or other visual and audio representations.

I am signing this document on my own behalf and on behalf of my assigns, representatives, heirs, executors, and administrators and I agree to be specifically bound to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. I have read this agreement, fully understand that I am giving up substantial rights by signing it, am aware of its legal consequences, have signed this Agreement freely and voluntarily, and knowingly accept all the terms and conditions as set forth above. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT MY SIGNATURE BELOW CONSTITUTES A RELEASE OF LIABILITY OF MAKARIOS AND THE RELEASEES. This agreement is intended to be governed by the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (Tex. Bus. Com. Code, Section 43.001 et seq.) and applicable federal law governing the enforceability of electronic signatures. Your signature on this agreement conveyed electronically is intended to be fully binding for all purposes, and your conveyance of your signature on this agreement to MAKARIOS by any electronic means is your acceptance of these terms.

6. I understand that as I am raising funds, I am doing so voluntarily for the organization. As a volunteer, I am offering my services willingly and I understand that I am in no way an employee of the company, nor am I being led to believe that a paid position will be offered in the future.

As a volunteer, Makarios will provide you with reimbursements for for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that you incur when performing authorized tasks associated with with your role. We do this to ensure that you are not financially disadvantaged as a result of your volunteers position with us. These payments are not remunerated of wages. You might need prior approval and will always need to produce receipts.

We may sometimes provide you with other benefits as part of your volunteer role (examples include training, food, accommodation, event entry, clothing, or equipment). Where this occurs, it is on a gratuitous basis at the discretion of Makarios and is not payment in lieu of salary. Makarios will do their best as an organization to train and prepare you for your role, and you will reciprocate my services and timeliness.
