In the course of volunteering for the Copper Rock Championship (“Tournament”), I may be dealing with confidential information and I agree to keep such information in the strictest of confidence.
The relationship between the Tournament and volunteers may be discontinued at any time by either the volunteer or “Tournament.”
I am strictly a volunteer, not an employee of the Tournament; that I volunteer my services freely and without pressure or coercion, direct or implied, from the Tournament; and, that there has been no promise of nor do I have an expectation of receiving compensation.
I grant the FGTA, LPGA, Copper Rock Golf Course, and Tournament the unrestricted and assignable right throughout the universe in perpetuity to use my likeness, voice, and words in television, radio, pictures, videotapes, film or any other form now known or hereinafter devised to promote activities of the FGTA, LPGA, Copper Rock Golf Course and the Tournament without compensation or any other benefit.
I ASSUME ALL RISKS AND DANGER, KNOWN, UNKNOWN, OBVIOUS AND HIDDEN,
SURROUNDING AND ASSOCIATED WITH MY PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES AND
EVENTS ORGANIZED AND SPONSORED BY THE TOURNAMENT including, without
limitation, being struck by misdirected golf balls or carts, falls on and/or around the
Tournament golf course and surrounding areas, and actions of third parties, whether such risk or danger occurs prior to, during, or subsequent thereto. In consideration for allowing me to participate as a volunteer and all other benefits to me arising therefrom, I, my personal representatives and administrators, heirs, and next of kin hereby waive, release, covenant not to sue, and forever discharge the Tournament, the Ladies Professional Golf Association, FGTA, LLC d/b/a the Epson Tour, Epson Company, Copper Rock Championship, and Copper Rock Golf Course, and each of their affiliated, related or owned companies, and all other persons and entities, including but not limited to, sponsors, players, employees, agencies, media producers and distributors, insurance carriers, volunteers, providers of first aid and independent contractors liable or who might be claimed to be liable (collectively, “Releasees”) from and against any and all injuries, losses, damages, claims, actions and any liability of any kind (including, without limitation, personal injury, death, or loss or damage to personal, private or other property), whether caused by the negligence of Releasees or otherwise, as a result of or in connection with my volunteering and/or presence at the Tournament. I further agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Releasees for any liability, demand, judgment, claim 2 or suit, including reasonable costs and attorney fees, arising out of or in connection with my acts or omissions or allegations thereof as a volunteer for the Tournament and/or while I am on the Tournament property.
In the event that I am unable to do so on my own because of injury or illness, I consent to administration of first aid and/or medical treatment, and agree to indemnify, waive, release, covenant not to sue, and forever discharge Releasees from any and all liability or claims arising out of such treatment.
Utah laws shall govern any and all disputes involving Releasees. Any disputes involving the Releasees shall be resolved by arbitration in the State of Utah pursuant to the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in force. A judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The nature of the Tournament and the participating athletes make it necessary to have in place a screening process for all volunteers. My signature shall serve as authorization to perform a criminal history record information check in connection with my volunteer application for the Tournament, and I will provide any personal information necessary in connection therewith.
I, a volunteer for the Tournament, hereby attest that I have never been found guilty of, or entered a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere (i.e., no contest) to a crime determined to be a misdemeanor or felony. I further attest that I have never been judicially determined to have committed abuse or neglect against a person, child, or animal. Under penalty of perjury, I hereby declare that the attestations above are true to the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that I must present a valid U.S. state-issued driver’s license prior to serving as a Tournament volunteer.
I affirm that I have read this Volunteer Disclosure, Waiver, and Release Statement, understand it, and agree to sign it willingly and accept its terms and conditions. This form may be released to any third party in order that the volunteer may receive medical care in the event of illness or injury.
I, the undersigned, being of legal age or, if not, represented herein by my legal guardian, hereby agree to the terms and conditions outlined in this Volunteer Agreement.
