This document explains possible risks of volunteering and includes liability waivers, consents, and other legal agreements.

Disclosure of Medical Conditions and Medical Care Consent and Waiver: I understand that I am solely responsible for knowing my own physical condition and making my own decision about volunteering. I have disclosed all medications and conditions relevant to my participation to my supervisor or other staff at Texas Air Missions, including chronic conditions such as asthma, allergies, seizures, or diabetes. I understand that Texas Air Missions needs such information because some medication side effects or medical conditions could affect my safety or that of others at Texas Air Missions. I consent to Texas Air Missions sharing this information with health professionals or first responders should I become ill or injured while at Client facilities. I authorize Texas Air Missions to provide me with first aid and to arrange medical assistance, transportation, and emergency medical services for me if I get hurt while volunteering. I understand that Texas Air Missions is not obligated to provide this care. I also understand that I am solely responsible for any costs related to my medical treatment and transport, and that Texas Air Missions does not provide health, medical, disability, or other insurance coverage for me.

Risks Associated with Volunteering: Volunteering for Texas Air Missions has risks. These risks may arise in a variety of ways. They include, without limitation: my lifting heavy objects or otherwise exerting myself, handling glass and other hazardous materials, using hot or sharp objects or other tools, being exposed to dust, loud noises, chemicals, and interacting with and being in the presence of other volunteers, visitors and other people. I understand that these risks include risks of injury, illness, death, and property damage or loss, and that they may arise from my own actions or from the actions of others at or near Texas Air Missions facilities or encountered when traveling for activities off-site. I also understand that even if Texas Air Missions, I, and other persons present follow all health and safety protocols, I may still be exposed to infectious diseases.

Awareness and Assumption of Risk: I understand the information above, and confirm and acknowledge that these are 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 Texas Air Missions; (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, and whether incurred at Texas Air Missions facilities or elsewhere, that may result, directly or indirectly, from my presence at Texas Air Missions facilities or participation as a Texas Air Missions volunteer, regardless of the cause.

Waiver and Release of Claims: I waive and release Texas Air Missions and its directors, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, and affiliates (collectively, “Client Parties”) from any and all liability, claims, costs, and expenses of any kind and of whatever nature which I or my heirs, next of kin, or legal representatives may have or which may later accrue, caused by or arising directly or indirectly from my presence at Texas Air Missions facilities or participation in activities. This release and waiver includes, 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 of the Client Parties on the basis of these waived and released claims. I waive the protections of all state civil codes.

General Provisions: I understand that this Agreement will be binding for so long as I am a volunteer at Client. This Agreement will run in favor of, and may be enforced by, each of the Client Parties, and will bind my heirs, next of kin, and legal representatives. This Agreement will be binding to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the other terms remain effective. This Agreement will be governed by Texas law.

Use by Client of My Name and Image and Work Products: I understand that Texas Air Missions may take photos or videos of me. I consent to use by Texas Air Missions of my image, voice, name, and story, and of images of any works I may create as a volunteer (collectively, “Materials”), in Texas Air Missions' digital and print promotional, fundraising, educational, and other communications. Texas Air Missions may use the Materials without obtaining my approval or paying me for such use. I grant Texas Air Missions all copyrights in and waive any legal claims relating to the Materials, including those relating to copyright, rights of publicity or privacy, or defamation, or arising from any distortion, blurring, or alteration that may occur in the making, editing, or use of the Materials. I grant full rights to Texas Air Missions in any reports, brochures, website content, photos, images, videos, or other materials or works I may create in the course of volunteer activities, and any intellectual property rights in or derivatives of such materials.
