RELEASE AND WAIVER OF RESPONSIBILITY Liability Release and Waiver I have volunteered to assist GOSHALA BJ ANIMAL CARE, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation GBJAC). I have volunteered my time and services because of my support for the GBJAC and my desire to participate actively in the furtherance of its work. For good and valuable consideration and in consideration of my participation in activities that can be dangerous, including, but not limited to vehicular, plane and other travel related to my volunteer duties and activities, and other work related to performing duties in an office or field setting, including for times I may visit GOSHALA BJ and its partner FACILITIES(Alma Bonita Animal rescue & more), I release GOSHALA BJ ANIMAL CARE, its present and former members, agents, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, parent corporations, subsidiaries, representatives, attorneys, successors in interest, predecessors in interest, and assigns (collectively,GBJAC” or the “Releases'') of any and all claims for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death arising out of or relating to any of myactivities. Because the assertion of claims against the GBJAC for personal injury occurring during my volunteer service would be antithetical to my support of the GBJAC and its goals and would reduce the ability of GBJAC to accomplish its charitable purposes, I grant this release. This Release and Waiver of Responsibility (“Release”) applies to any and all manner of actions and causes of actions, suits, debts, obligations, actions, contracts, covenants, warranties, claims, sums of money, judgments, demands, damages, and rights whatsoever in law or in equity, which have or may accrue in favor of myself against any one or more of the Releases, by reason of any facts or circumstances, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, or which may hereafter arise as a result of the discovery of new and/or additional facts, including, without limitation, those arising out of, on account of, based upon, or in any way relating to my activities. I expressly waive any and all benefits that would otherwise be available under any statute, legal decision, or common law principle with respect to unknown or suspected claims. I shall defend, indemnify, and hold Releases harmless from any and all claims of any person or entity to the extent that such claims arise from or relate to my activities. Media Release and Waiver I understand that during the course of my volunteer activity at GBJAC, I may encounter activities which are videos recorded, audio recorded, and/or photographed for the purpose of being used and distributed in various formats by GBJAC for educational, public awareness, and/or humanitarian objectives, including, but not limited to, classroom, television, the Internet (including webcasts, content postings, and podcasts), and any other communication medium currently existing or later created. I give my permission and authorize GBJAC to videotape, audiotape, photograph, record, edit, or otherwise reproduce my image in connection with my volunteer activities at the GBJAC and to use it in the formats and for the purposes stated above. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the GBJAC, its employees, and representatives against any and all claims arising out of my volunteer services, including, but not limited to, claims of intellectual property infringement, defamation, and misrepresentation. I warrant and represent that I have carefully read this Release and any instructions provided by GBJAC concerning volunteer activities. Volunteers will not divulge any confidential information to anyone, within or outside the GBJAC, not authorized to receive such information. Confidential information is knowledge, records, or data, in any form (written, electronic, or oral) which GBJAC has a legitimate interest in protecting from unauthorized disclosure.
