Acknowledgement of Risk, Release of Liability, and Video/Photo Consent
I affirm that I am freely and willingly participating in the volunteer programming and activities offered by the Arboretum at The Pennsylvania State University (“Program”).
In consideration of my participation in the Program, I agree, on behalf of myself and my executors, heirs, assigns, and any other person claiming by, under, or through me, as follows:
1. I am 18 years of age (or older).
2. I understand and acknowledge that participating in the Program activities involves certain risks (some of which I may not fully appreciate) and that injuries, death, property damage or other harm could occur to me or others. I recognize that I have the option to not participate in these activities instead of encountering these inherent risks. I knowingly and voluntarily accept, incur and assume all risks of any injuries, damages, or harm which arise during or result from my participation in the Program, even if arising from the negligence of the program or others.
3. I consent to The Pennsylvania State University (“Penn State”), its trustees, affiliates, officers, employees, agents (collectively, “Penn State Representatives”), to photograph, video record, or audio record me engaging in activities at the Program (the “Materials”). Without expectation of compensation or other remuneration, now or in the future, I hereby grant Penn State, the irrevocable right and license to use, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, display or otherwise exploit the Materials for promotional or educational purposes.
4. I hereby release and forever discharge Penn State, Penn State Representatives and their insurers of any responsibility or liability of any nature to me for any personal injuries, death, property damage, other harm that I may suffer or incur either directly or indirectly as a result of my participation in the Program or use of the Materials.
