Labdoo Volunteer Waiver

Depending on the region where you are, some Labdoo hubs like to distribute a waiver to the volunteers attending their sanitation workshops. Feel free to use this as a sample.

Volunteer, ___________________________, AKA (The Volunteer), email:_________________________ & Organization, Labdoo , AKA (The Organization), located at 92 Corporate Park, Ste. C303, Irvine, CA92606

I, the above listed Volunteer, desire to work as a volunteer for the Organization and I hereby voluntarily, execute this Volunteer Waiver under the following terms:

1. The volunteer performs the service of the volunteer’s own free will, without promise, expectation, or receipt of remuneration. The volunteer is not an employee or agent of the Organization for any purpose and the volunteer’s services are not controlled nor mandated by the Organization.
2. If the volunteer is under the age of 18, the volunteer may only participate in volunteer service with the express written consent of the volunteer’s parent or guardian.
3. The volunteer understands and agrees that it is possible that the volunteer may be injured or otherwise harmed during volunteer service due to accidents, acts of nature, the volunteer’s negligent or intentional acts, or the negligent or intentional acts of others; that while the Organization has taken some steps to reduce the chances of injuries or harm to the volunteer, that the Organization has no control over most risks, and, thus, cannot and does not guarantee nor take any responsibility for the safety of the volunteer or the volunteer’s property while the volunteer is engaged in volunteer service; and that the volunteer must take full responsibility for himself or herself and assume the risk of harm or damage while serving by taking all necessary and reasonable precautions and acting in a manner that will help protect himself or herself and his or her property.
4. The volunteer agrees to waive and release the Organization from any and all potential claims for injury, illness, damage, or death which the volunteer may have against the Organization that might arise out of the volunteer’s service and to hold the Organization harmless there from.
5. The volunteer agrees and understands that injuries or losses to others, such as co-workers or the person(s) being helped, may occur as a result of the volunteer’s negligent or intentional acts during volunteer service, and that to avoid such harm, the volunteer must exercise care and act responsibly in serving others.
6. If any injury or loss to another does occur due to the volunteer’s intentional actions or due to volunteer’s negligent actions arising outside of the scope of the volunteer’s activities, the volunteer must accept the liability for and repair, or make reparations for, the harm done.
7. The Organization is not providing the volunteer with insurance coverage for any injuries, conditions, or losses to the volunteer arising out of volunteer activities, except that the Organization does provide liability insurance coverage on all the Organization vehicles used during service projects.
8. The volunteer must maintain his or her own primary medical insurance and the volunteer’s own automobile liability insurance when driving a non-Organization vehicle to cover potential medical and other costs related to the volunteer service; and the volunteer is also encouraged to maintain property and life insurance coverage while serving as a volunteer.
9. All costs for injury or loss above the coverage provided by the volunteer’s insurance are the volunteer’s personal responsibility.
10. In projects where the volunteer will be transporting others in a non-Organization owned vehicle, the volunteer may be required to provide proof of automobile insurance in order to participate.
11. Since volunteers are not the Organization employees, the Organization does not provide worker’s compensation coverage for injuries or illnesses to the volunteer arising out of volunteer activities.
12.Volunteer grants unto the Organization all right, title, and interest in any and all photographic images and video or audio recordings that are made by the Organization during their work with the Organization, including, but not limited to, any royalties, proceeds, or other benefits that are derived from such photographs or recordings.

By signing below, the parties confirm that they have read, understand, and consent to the terms of this waiver agreement.
