I agree to follow all recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and all local officials in regards to precautions and guidelines for COVID-19.
I hereby certify that I am over the age of eighteen (18) and make this agreement of my own free will, individually, in order to participate in the Compassion Through Action Program. If I am participating in Compassion Through Action as a volunteer and will be utilizing my vehicle for the program, I certify that I have a valid driver’s license, my vehicle is registered, and I carry the minimum insurance required by law.
I hereby acknowledge that my participation in the Compassion Through Action Program creates certain risks and liabilities that are outside the control of RASHID FOR CONGRESS. I understand that RASHID FOR CONGRESS is utilizing volunteers and working to assist those in need. As a result, RASHID FOR CONGRESS cannot control the actions of the volunteers or those who are seeking assistance. RASHID FOR CONGRESS is not responsible for the behavior or actions of the volunteers or those seeking assistance. The volunteers and those seeking assistance are not agents of RASHID FOR CONGRESS. I realize that liability may arise from negligence, gross negligence, recklessness, or carelessness of the volunteers or those seeking assistance.
I further acknowledge that it is my responsibility to consult a medical physician prior to participating in the Compassion Through Action program to determine if my participation is a risk to my health. If my participation in Compassion Through Action were to cause physical health issues at any time, I acknowledge that it is my duty to discontinue participation immediately and consult a physician.
In consideration for my participation in the Compassion Through Action Program, I hereby waive, release and discharge RASHID FOR CONGRESS and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, members, representatives, managers, and agents, in addition to all successors, and assigns of the above from any and all liability for any damages that may result from my participation in the Compassion Through Action Program, including, but not limited to actions of any kind which may hereafter accrue to myself as a result of my participation in Compassion Through Action. I hereby indemnify and hold harmless the entities or persons mentioned in this paragraph from any and all liabilities or claims made by other individuals or entities as a result of my participation in Compassion Through Action.
I assume all risks of injury, loss and damage to myself and my personal and real property during my participation in Compassion Through Action, fully realizing that RASHID FOR CONGRESS and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, members, representatives, managers, and agents, in addition to all successors, and assigns are held harmless from all liabilities, claims, demands, costs, losses, expenses or compensation of whatever nature for loss, damage or injuries to persons and property sustained by me; and the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of myself, from any damage or injury, to body or property, resulting from or in any way connected with my participation in Compassion Through Action.
I further agree to reimburse RASHID FOR CONGRESS and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, members, representatives, managers, and agents, in addition to all successors, and assigns for all court costs and attorney fees in defending an action.
The Waiver, Release of Liability, and Assumption of Risk shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law. I hereby certify that I have read this document and I understand its contents.
I agree and acknowledge that I am under no pressure or duress to sign this Agreement and that I have been given a reasonable opportunity to review these before signing. I further agree and acknowledge that I am free to have my own legal counsel review these terms if I so desire.
