I hereby execute this this Volunteer Assumption of Risk, Liability Release and Hold Harmless Agreement (“Agreement”) in connection with my desire to volunteer from time to time in various projects of the Compass Christian Church of Chandler Arizona (“Compass Christian”). I am aware that certain projects may involve strenuous labor, heavy lifting, operating and working around hand and mechanized tools and/or equipment, electrical power, vehicular traffic and various other activities that may be hazardous. I am voluntarily participating in these activities as an individual or part of a larger volunteer group. I am knowledgeable of the risks involved in this volunteer work and understand that it entails known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, permanent paralysis, death or damage to me, to property, or to third parties, and while particular skills, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist. I agree to exercise good judgment and acknowledge that I am in good health and know no reason why I should not participate in these activities. I currently have no known physical or mental condition that would impair my capability for full participation as intended or expected in these activities.

I hereby knowingly and freely personally assume all risks associated with my voluntary participation in these projects, including any harm, injury or damage that may befall me as a result of my participation, including all activities connected therewith, whether foreseen or unforeseen. I further indemnify, release and discharge Compass Christian, its agents, employees, volunteers, and other representatives, individually, corporately and collectively (“Indemnified Parties”), from any and all actions, claims, or demands of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that I, or my family, estate, heirs, devisees, distributees, guardians, legal representatives, or assigns now have or may hereafter have for injury, disability, death or loss or damage to persons or property resulting from my participation as a volunteer in the above activities, whether arising from the negligence of Compass Christian or otherwise and whether I perform such tasks for compensation or on a purely volunteer basis.

I agree that this Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Arizona, and that if any portion of this agreement is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.

Should Compass Christian or anyone acting on its behalf, be required to incur attorneys’ fees and costs to enforce this Volunteer Assumption of Risk, Liability Release and Hold Harmless Agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.

In the event that I file a lawsuit against Compass Christian and/or its officers, Directors, managers, members, operators, employees, independent contractors, associates, insurers and agents or any other Indemnified Parties, I agree to do so solely in Maricopa County of the State of Arizona, and I further agree that the substantive law of the State of Arizona shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law of that state.

I FURTHER STATE THAT (i) I AM OF LAWFUL AGE AND LEGALLY COMPETENT TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT, (ii) I HAVE READ THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPHS AND KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE CONTENT THEREOF; (iii) I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TERMS HEREIN ARE CONTRACTUAL AND NOT A MERE RECITAL; (iv) I KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT AND (v) I HAVE VOLUNTARILY SIGNED THIS DOCUMENT OF MY OWN FREE WILL WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.
