This Release and Waiver of Liability (this “Release”) is executed on behalf of the individual identified in the signature block (“I” “me” “myself” or the “attendee”), in favor of the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, a Washington nonprofit corporation, its directors, officers, employees, attendees, representatives, and agents (collectively, “WAISN”).  This Release is effective as of the date signed below.

I hereby give my consent to participate in all activities of WAISN. I understand that the scope of my relationship with WAISN is limited to an attendee position and that no compensation is expected in return for services provided by myself; and that WAISN will not provide to me any benefits traditionally associated with employment. I desire to engage in activities related to serving or participating in WAISN’s activities as a participant or attendee. I am responsible for my own insurance coverage in the event of personal injury or illness as a result of participation in WAISN’s activities.

1. Attendee Status. As a attendee, I understand that I control the dates and times when I participate in WAISN’s activities. I also understand that I will not be compensated for any time spent attending, nor am I entitled to benefits. 
2. Waiver and Release. I release and forever discharge and hold harmless WAISN and its successors and assigns from any and all liability, claims, and demands of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, which arise or may hereafter arise from the activities as an attendee with WAISN, including claims arising out of negligence. I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS RELEASE DISCHARGES WAISN FROM ANY LIABILITY OR CLAIM THAT I MAY HAVE AGAINST WAISN WITH RESPECT TO BODILY INJURY, PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE SERVICES I PROVIDE TO WAISN OR OCCURRING WHILE I AM AN ATTENDEE.
3. Insurance: I affirm that it is my responsibility covered by primary medical insurance and understand that I am responsible for my medical bills and expenses if an injury occurs. Further, I understand that WAISN does not assume any responsibility for or obligation to provide me with financial or other assistance, including but not limited to medical, health or disability benefits or insurance of any nature in the event of my injury, illness, death or damage to my property. I expressly waive any such claim for compensation or liability on the part of WAISN beyond what may be offered freely by WAISN in the event of such injury or medical expenses incurred by myself. 
4. Assumption of Risk. I hereby expressly assume the risk of injury or harm to me and/or vehicle from these activities and release WAISN from all liability for injury, illness, death, or property damage resulting from the services I provide as an attendee or occurring while I am participating in events including transportation to and from events. 
5. Policies. I shall abide by all WAISN policies and procedures, including but not limited to Anti-Harassment Policy.
6. Photographic Release. I, grant and convey to WAISN all right, title, and interests in any and all photographs, images, video or audio recordings of myself or my likeness or voice made by WAISN in connection with my participation in WAISN events, including but not limited to, any royalties, proceeds, or other benefits derived from such photographs or recordings. 
7. Medical Treatment. I, hereby release and forever discharge WAISN from any claim whatsoever which arises or may hereafter arise on account of first-aid treatment or other medical services rendered in connection with an emergency during my tenure as an attendee with WAISN. I give my consent for WAISN to provide, administer, or obtain medical treatment for me during my participation in the WAISN activities.
8. Indemnification. I hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WAISN from any and all liability, losses, damages, judgments, or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that it may incur or sustain as a result of my involvement in the Activities, arising out of any third-party claim.
9. No Insurance Coverage or Workers’ Compensation. I UNDERSTAND THAT WAISN DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR OR OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER ASSISTANCE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MEDICAL, HEALTH, DISABILITY INSURANCE OF ANY NATURE IN THE EVENT OF MY INJURY, ILLNESS, OR DEATH, OR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF MY PROPERTY. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF I AM INJURED IN THE COURSE OF THE ACTIVITIES, I AM NOT COVERED BY WAISN’S WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAM.
