Release and Waiver.  Volunteer and Guardians do hereby release and forever discharge and hold harmless Habitat and Partners and their successors and assigns from any and all liability, claims, and demands of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, which arise or may hereafter arise from Volunteer’s Activities with Habitat and Partners.

Volunteer and Guardians understand that this Release discharges Habitat and Partners from any liability or claim that the Volunteer or Guardians may have against Habitat and Partners with respect to any bodily injury, personal injury, illness, death, or property damage that may result from Volunteer’s Activities with Habitat and Partners, whether caused by the negligence of Habitat and Partners or their officers, directors, employees, or agents or otherwise.  Volunteer and Guardians also understand that Habitat and Partners do 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.

Medical Treatment.  Volunteer and Guardians do hereby release and forever discharge Habitat and Partners from any claim whatsoever which arises or may hereafter arise on account of any first aid, treatment, or service rendered in connection with the Volunteer’s Activities with Habitat and Partners or with the decision by any representative or agent of Habitat and Partners to exercise the power to consent to medical or dental treatment as such power may be granted and authorized in a Parental Authorization for Treatment of a Minor Child.

Assumption of the Risk.  The Volunteer and Guardians understand that the Activities may include work that may be hazardous to the Volunteer, including, but not limited to, construction, loading and unloading, and transportation to and from the work sites. 

Volunteer and Guardians hereby expressly and specifically assume the risk of injury or harm in the Activities and release Habitat and Partners from all liability for injury, illness, death, or property damage resulting from the Activities.

Other.  Volunteer and Guardians expressly agree that this Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of North Carolina, and that this Release shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina.  Volunteer agrees that in the event that any clause or provision of this Release shall be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such clause or provision shall not otherwise affect the remaining provisions of this Release which shall continue to be enforceable.
