SHOP DUTIES AND HAZARDS: I am aware that working in the workshop or mobile workshop environment can be a potentially hazardous activity. Those hazards include, but are not limited to, injuries from slips and falls; back injuries from lifting and standing; and cuts. I am participating in these activities with the knowledge of the danger involved and therefore agree to personally accept, and be responsible for, all risks of injury or death. I understand that although CCofCA carries medical insurance, it is considered secondary coverage and my own health insurance is primary coverage.

WAIVER: As consideration for being permitted by CCofCA to participate in these activities and the use of their facilities, I hereby agree that I, my assignees, heirs, spouses, guardians, and legal representatives will not make a claim against, sue, or attach the property of CCofCA or any of its agents, directors, employees, representatives, contractors, or volunteers from injury or damage resulting from the negligence or other acts, however caused, by any agent, director, employee, representative, contractor or volunteer of CCofCA as a result of my participation as a program participant. I hereby furthermore release CCofCA and its agents, directors, employees, representatives, contractors, and volunteers from all actions, claims, or demands that I, my assignees, heirs, spouses, guardians, and legal representatives now have or may hereafter have from injury of damage, whether currently known or unknown, resulting from my participation as a volunteer. This release of liability and assumption of risk, in addition to covering any past occurrences, is intended to discharge in advance their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all liability arising out of or connected in any way with my participation as a volunteer of CCofCA, even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons or entities above mentioned, or any other cause.

I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS CONTRACT AND FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS. I AM AWARE THAT THIS VOLUNTEER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND LIABILITY WAIVER IS A CONTRACT BETWEEN MYSELF AND COMMUNITY CYCLES OF CALIFORNIA, AND I SIGN IT OF MY OWN FREE WILL. By signing, I agree to abide by the conditions outlined above.
