Release and Waiver of Liability for Volunteers

In connection with my volunteer activities related to The Green Chair Project (the "Project"), organized by The Green Chair Project, Inc. (the "Company") for myself, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin, I hereby:

1. ACKNOWLEDGE, agree, and represent that I understand the nature of the Project's activities and my responsibilities therein and that I am qualified and able to serve as a volunteer for the Project. I further acknowledge that I will comply with any and all policies and procedures of the Company at all times. I further agree and represent by my signature below that, to my knowledge, I have not been the subject of any investigation, complaint or legal action involving a reported instance of sexual abuse, and I have never been refused, resigned from, or been asked to resign from a position for reasons related to such sexual abuse;

2. RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE the Company, its administrators, directors, agents, officers, members, volunteers, employees, sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of the premises on which the activities of the Project take place (the "Releasees") from all liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise; and I further agree that if, despite this release and waiver of liability, I, or anyone 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 fees, loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as the result of such claim. I assume all risk of personal injury while on or around the Company's premises. Any personal items I bring onto the Company's premises will be at my own risk and the Company will not be liable for lost, damaged or stolen items. I also understand that the Company does not assume any responsibility for or obligation to provide financial assistance or other assistance, including but not limited to medical, health, or disability insurance in the event of injury or illness. I do hereby release and forever discharge the Company from any claim whatsoever which arises or may hereafter arise on account of any services rendered in connection with my volunteer activities in connection with the Project;

3. ACKNOWLEDGE that (i) as a part of my volunteer activities for the Company, I may provide my image, likeness, voice, or other characteristics; and (ii) the Company may use my image, likeness, voice or other characteristics. I expressly release the Company, its administrators, directors, agents, officers, members, volunteers, and employees from and against any and all claims which I have or may hereafter have for invasion of privacy, right of privacy, defamation, copyright infringement or any other causes of action arising out of the use, adaptation, reproduction, distribution, broadcast or exhibition of such characteristics; and

4. ACKNOWLEDGE that, as a volunteer for the Company, I may receive personal, privileged, and/or confidential information concerning clients, clients' family members, and other individuals and organizations with whom the Company is associated. I agree and represent by my signature below that I will use my best efforts to ensure that such personal, privileged, and/or confidential information remains confidential and is not disclosed, regardless of whether I am actively engaged in volunteer activities or whether my volunteer involvement with the Company has ended for any reason.

5. I UNDERSTAND THAT NOTHING IN THIS RELEASE OR IN THE SERVICES PERFORMED BY ME SHALL BE CONSIDERED TO CREATE THE RELATIONSHIP OF EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND ME.

I HAVE READ THE RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY FOR VOLUNTEERS, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. I expressly agree that the foregoing release, waiver and indemnity is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of North Carolina and that if any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect. I further authorize and allow the Company to perform any background check on me, in accordance with state and federal law.
