As a volunteer, I agree that I am donating my service to Chalk It Up to Sacramento ("Chalk It Up"). I'm neither entitled to nor expect any present or future salary, wages, or other benefits for these voluntary services.
I understand the information above and confirm and acknowledge the risks associated with volunteering. With such information and awareness, and with the recognition that other factors may create additional such risks, I knowingly, freely, and voluntarily: (a) sign up to volunteer for Chalk It Up and/or (b) engage in volunteer activities; and (c) assume and accept the risks of all injury, death, property damage or loss, financial obligation, loss of privacy, loss of reputation, and all other injuries and other consequences, whether known or unknown, whether foreseen or unforeseeable regardless of the cause.
I waive and release the Chalk It Up and its directors, trustees, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, and affiliates from all liability, claims, costs, and expenses of any kind and of whatever nature which my heirs, next of kin, or legal representatives or I may have or which may later accrue, caused by or arising directly or indirectly from my presence at Chalk It Up events. This release and waiver include, in each such case, all claims in respect of the risks noted above, known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseeable, regardless of the cause or whether such claims arise from tort, contract, or otherwise, and even if caused by negligence, whether passive or active. I will not sue any parties based on these waived and released claims. I waive the protections of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
