Volunteer Waiver

  1. I understand OK will be conducting a background check on volunteer candidates to meet state and federal standards ensuring senior client protection and safety.

  2. I agree to work with Our Kupuna (OK) as a volunteer from today until I notify OK (in writing,
    such as text or email) that I no longer wish to volunteer.

  3. As a volunteer, I understand that I choose my own hours within the scheduled volunteer
    opportunity. I also understand that I will not be compensated for any time volunteering,
    nor am I entitled to benefits, including, but not limited to unemployment insurance benefits
    upon the termination of this agreement or as a result of this service.

  4. I am aware that participation as a volunteer may require periods of sitting, standing, lifting,
    and carrying and will require the exercise of reasonable care to avoid injury. I am
    voluntarily participating in this activity with knowledge of the hazards and potential
    dangers involved, and I agree to accept any and all risks of personal injury and property
    damage. I understand that if I am injured in the course of the project, I am not covered by
    OK’s Worker’s Compensation Program. I authorize OK to seek emergency medical
    treatment on my behalf in case of injury, accident, or illness from my involvement as a
    volunteer. I understand that I will be responsible for medical costs incurred by such an
    accident, illness, or injury.

  5. As a volunteer, I hereby agree that I, my assignees, heirs, guardians, and legal
    representatives will not make a claim against OK or its employees, agents or contractors
    for injury or damage resulting from negligence, whether active or passive, or other acts,
    however caused, by any of its officers, employees, agents, or contractors from all actions,
    claims, or demands that I, my heirs, guardians, and legal representatives, now have, or
    may have in the future, for any injury or damage from my volunteering. This may include
    any exposure or illness related to the COVID-19 coronavirus. This may also include any
    damage incurred during my engagement with associates I met through OK, even outside
    of volunteer activities.

  6. I understand that the material and tools provided by OK are to remain the property of OK,
    and I agree to return these tools and any materials to OK at the end of my volunteer
    service.

  7. I will maintain confidentiality of information regarding the agency.  In the course of my volunteer service with OK, I may have access to or receive information that is confidential.  I will use confidential information only as necessary in connection with my service with OK. I will not disclose confidential information to any third party without obtaining OK’s written consent and will prevent disclosure of confidential information by any other person.  If any confidential information is improperly disclosed, I will immediately notify OK and will cooperate fully in taking any actions that OK may require because of disclosure.

  8. When I am performing services on behalf of Our Kūpuna, I may conceive of, discover, invent or produce photographs, inventions, improvements, new contributions, literary property, material, ideas and discoveries. I acknowledge that all of the foregoing materials shall be owned by and belong exclusively to OK.

  9. I acknowledge that I provided my email address and phone number in my volunteer
    application, and I consent to be contacted by Our Kupuna by phone, text or email until I
    unsubscribe or otherwise request to be removed from OK’s communication.

  10. I give OK, its licensees, affiliates, successors, and assigns the right and permission to use, re-use, publish, re-publish, display, exhibit, distribute, transmit, and broadcast my name, information provided by me about me, and photograph, video, other film images and/or other likenesses taken of me .  OK may use my name, the information and the images in whole or in part, individually or in conjunction with other names, information and/or images, in any medium now known or hereafter to become known, for any valid purpose of OK, including without limitation, illustration, promotion, advertising, and trade, and including making modifications.  I hereby release and discharge OK from any and all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with the use of, or failure to use, my name, the information, and/or the images consistent, including without limitation, claims for copyright infringement, defamation, invasion of right to privacy, publicity, or personality or any similar matter.  I agree in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawai‘i, and will be binding upon my successors, heirs, agents, attorneys, assigns, and legal representatives.

  11. I have received a copy of the Our Kupuna (OK) Volunteer Procedures and have read,
    understand and been trained on these procedures. I agree to follow them to the best of
    my ability and raise any questions I have about the procedures and forms prior to my
    volunteer activity and periodically as they may arise.
