Agreements *
1. This Waiver and Release of Liability and Hold Harmless Agreement is executed by the “Volunteer” in favor of Claim Our Space Now (“COSN”) and its directors, officers, members, employees, agents, advisors, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”).
2. I am 18 years of age or older and I desire to work as a volunteer for COSN. In exchange for COSN’s permission and agreement to allow me to perform certain undertakings on behalf of COSN, I hereby agree, (i) to be an unpaid volunteer for COSN in connection with [describe relevant event (i.e., a non-partisan voter registration drive)] (the “Event”) and (ii) to execute this Waiver and Release. I hereby acknowledge that as a volunteer I am not an employee of any of the Released Parties and I or COSN may terminate my volunteer position at any time for any reason. I recognize that participation in the Event is a potentially hazardous activity and I willingly assume the risks associated with such participation, including, but not limited to, falls; contact with other volunteers, employees or others, or vehicular or other traffic; exposure to animals; the effects of the weather, including heat, slippery surfaces and falling overhead objects; and the crowded nature and other conditions of the Event, all such being known and appreciated by me. I acknowledge that I have been provided with a copy of COSN’s Volunteer Code of Conduct and that I have read, understand, and agree to comply with the Code of Conduct. I further agree to comply with any other written or oral policies (including unlisted policies) of COSN that are communicated to me.
3. I hereby understand and agree to the following: I and my spouse, heirs, executors, personal representatives, and assignees (the “Releasors”) hereby forever agree and covenant not to sue or prosecute COSN or the other Released Parties, and agree to forever WAIVE and RELEASE and HOLD HARMLESS, to the fullest extent permitted by law COSN and the Released Parties from, all present and future claims, actions, causes of action, suits, promises, warranties, damages and consequential damages, demands, agreements, controversies, variances, judgments, executions, costs, expenses and liabilities of any kind, known or unknown, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether arising at law or in equity, based in whole or in part on facts, whether or not now known, that relate to, arise out of or otherwise my participation in the Event, and against or related to COSN. I acknowledge that this Waiver and Release shall survive the termination of the Event and my volunteering with COSN.
4. By accepting a volunteer position at COSN, I understand that all content developed by any COSN volunteer is the property of COSN and I hereby grant COSN rights to all photographic images, video and audio recordings I make during the course of my assignment.
5. I agree to submit any dispute arising from participation in the Event to binding arbitration. Submission will be unlimited. For such disputes there will be a three-member arbitration panel, consisting of two party-appointed arbitrators (one arbitrator to be appointed by each party) and one neutral arbitrator (collectively, the “Panel”), to be chosen by the party-appointed arbitrators. Each party will pay its own costs, including the costs associated with the party-appointed arbitrators, and the parties will share equally the costs associated with the neutral arbitrator. In the event that any clause or provision of this Waiver and Release shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by the Panel, the invalidity of such clause or provision shall not otherwise affect the remaining provisions of this Waiver and Release.
6. Any signature (including any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, this Waiver and Release and adopted by a party hereto with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record) hereto or to any other agreement or document related to this Waiver and Release, shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and the parties hereby waive any objection to the contrary.
7. I acknowledge and agree that I have carefully read this Waiver and Release, that I fully understand the Agreement, and that I freely and voluntarily execute the same. I understand that I may seek independent advice prior to signing this Waiver and Release. The terms of this Waiver and Release are contractual and not mere recitals and that the Waiver and Release cannot be amended without the consent of COSN. I agree that this Waiver and Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of New York and that this Waiver and Release will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. In the event any clause or provision of this Waiver and Release will be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such clause or provision will not otherwise affect the remaining clauses or provisions of this Waiver and Release, which will continue to be enforceable. Further, a waiver of a right under this Waiver and Release by the Volunteer or COSN does not prevent the exercise of any other right that may be available to COSN.
