IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE VOLUNTEERING. BY SUBMITTING A VOLUNTEER APPLICATION OR PARTICIPATING IN ANY VOLUNTEER ACTIVITY, YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
These Terms and Conditions for Volunteers (“Volunteer Agreement”) constitute a legally binding agreement between Relief Alliance, Inc. (“Relief Alliance,” “Organization,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Florida nonprofit corporation (EIN: 99-5000564), and the individual agreeing to volunteer (“Volunteer,” “you,” or “your”). This Volunteer Agreement governs all volunteer activities performed on behalf of or in connection with Relief Alliance, including but not limited to community outreach, program support, administrative assistance, event staffing, mentorship, coaching, tutoring, and any other service provided without compensation.
Volunteers are not employees, agents, contractors, or representatives of Relief Alliance. No volunteer activity creates an employment relationship, entitlement to compensation, benefits, workers’ compensation coverage (unless separately provided by applicable law), or any other employment right. Relief Alliance reserves the right to accept, reject, reassign, suspend, or terminate any volunteer at its sole and absolute discretion, with or without cause and without prior notice.
Relief Alliance reserves the right to require, as a condition of volunteering, the successful completion of a criminal background check, reference verification, identity verification, and any other screening process deemed appropriate by Relief Alliance in its sole discretion. Volunteers who will work directly with Minors (individuals under the age of 18) are required to complete a comprehensive background screening prior to any such contact, and must comply with all applicable federal and Florida state laws governing interactions with Minors, including but not limited to mandatory reporting obligations under Florida Statute Section 39.201.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age, or if between the ages of 14 and 17, must have written parental or guardian consent and must be supervised at all times by a designated adult volunteer or Relief Alliance staff member. Volunteers under the age of 14 are not permitted.
VOLUNTEER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES MAY INVOLVE INHERENT RISKS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: PHYSICAL INJURY; EXPOSURE TO COMMUNICABLE DISEASES; CONTACT WITH INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, MENTAL ILLNESS, OR SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS; EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS; AND OTHER RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH COMMUNITY SERVICE WORK. VOLUNTEER VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY ASSUMES ALL SUCH RISKS.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VOLUNTEER HEREBY RELEASES, WAIVES, DISCHARGES, AND COVENANTS NOT TO SUE RELIEF ALLIANCE, INC., ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, PARTNERS, SPONSORS, AND SUCCESSORS (COLLECTIVELY, “RELEASED PARTIES”) FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH THAT MAY BE SUSTAINED BY VOLUNTEER WHILE PARTICIPATING IN VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE.
Volunteer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Volunteer’s participation in volunteer activities; (b) Volunteer’s breach of this Volunteer Agreement; (c) Volunteer’s violation of any applicable law or regulation; (d) Volunteer’s negligent or intentional misconduct; or (e) any claim by a third party arising from Volunteer’s actions or omissions during volunteer activities.
Volunteers must at all times: conduct themselves in a professional, respectful, and compassionate manner; comply with all Relief Alliance policies, procedures, and directives; maintain strict confidentiality regarding program participants, donors, and organizational information; refrain from any form of harassment, discrimination, abuse, or exploitation of any person, particularly Minors and vulnerable adults; not engage in any activity that could create a conflict of interest or that could harm the reputation of Relief Alliance; not make representations or commitments on behalf of Relief Alliance without express written authorization; and report any suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of program participants to Relief Alliance leadership and to appropriate authorities as required by law.
All information obtained by Volunteer in the course of volunteer activities, including information about program participants, donors, organizational strategies, financial information, and operational methods, is strictly confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of Relief Alliance. Any work product, creative content, photographs, videos, or other materials created by Volunteer in connection with volunteer activities shall be the sole and exclusive property of Relief Alliance, and Volunteer hereby assigns all intellectual property rights therein to Relief Alliance.
Relief Alliance may, upon request, provide documentation of volunteer hours for purposes of community service verification. Such documentation is provided as a courtesy only. Relief Alliance makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that volunteer hours or certificates of participation will be accepted by any school, court, organization, employer, or other entity for any particular purpose. The acceptance of volunteer hour documentation is solely at the discretion of the receiving organization, and Relief Alliance expressly disclaims any liability arising from the non-acceptance of such documentation.
By participating in volunteer activities, Volunteer grants Relief Alliance a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use Volunteer’s name, likeness, image, voice, and biographical information in connection with Relief Alliance’s promotional, educational, and fundraising materials, including but not limited to website content, social media, print publications, and broadcast media, without further compensation or approval.
This Volunteer Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, with proceedings to be conducted in Orange County, Florida. Volunteer waives any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against Relief Alliance.
If any provision of this Volunteer Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to volunteer activities and supersedes all prior understandings, representations, and agreements.
