THE UNDERSIGNED acknowledges that he/she desires to perform certain services (collectively, the "Services") for Last Hope Animal Rescue, an Iowa nonprofit corporation ("LHAR"). The Undersigned further understands and acknowledges that certain risks may be associated with performing the Services.

In consideration of being permitted to perform the Services for LHAR, the Undersigned, for himself/herself and his/her heirs and representatives voluntarily and knowingly executes this document and expressly waives any and all rights, claims or causes of action including, without limitation, those involving bodily injury or property damage to the Undersigned, or to the Undersigned's family or property while the Undersigned is engaged, directly or indirectly, in performing the Services, whether or not caused by the negligence of LHAR, its officers, directors, agents or employees.

In further consideration of being permitted to perform the Services for LHAR, the Undersigned hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold LHAR, its officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all liability, damage, loss, cost, and expense (including attorneys' fees), incurred as a result of any claim, demand, or cause of action, brought against LHAR, its officers, directors, agents or employees, jointly or individually, for bodily injury of property damage suffered as a result of the Undersigned's negligent, reckless or willful act or omission in the performance (or failure to perform) of the Services.

Due to the nature of the work, volunteers may encounter confidential information in the computer system, on printed documents, or in conversations between employees, volunteers and customers. Each LHAR employee and volunteer is required by law to protect the confidentiality of any person’s identity, address, phone number, and/or personal details from all who don’t have a legitimate reason and authorization for the information. In addition, LHAR seeks to protect the privacy of individuals that are customers, donors, adopters or potential adopters of LHAR.

Failure to protect such information is a violation of LHAR policy and could result in disciplinary action, including termination as a volunteer as well as criminal, civil and/or civil rights liability.

This Waiver of Liability and Agreement to Indemnify shall continue in full force and effect until terminated in writing and in the event of such termination shall remain applicable to all matters occurring or first arising on or before the date of such termination regardless of such termination.
