The information in this application is true and complete and I have not knowingly withheld any information. I understand that misrepresentations or omissions may be cause for my immediate rejection as a volunteer applicant. I am aware that the Garden has the right to release me from service at any time, just as I have the right to withdraw from volunteer service at any time.

 

As consideration for the Garden's decision to allow me to serve as a volunteer for the Garden, I hereby fully and forever release and discharge the Garden, its affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the "Releasees") from any and all liability for claims of injury, death, economic damage, property damage, costs, liabilities, expenses, losses, fines, and obligations of any nature (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that are caused by negligence or fault on the part of any of the Releasees in connection with my volunteering with the Garden or as a result of or during any of the Releasees' administering of first aid or seeking of medical care for me. Furthermore, I agree that this Form shall be governed in every respect by the laws of the State of Missouri. This release of liability does not purport to release the Releasees from liability for intentional torts, gross negligence, or activities involving the public interest.

                                                                                                                      

 

As a volunteer of the Missouri Botanical Garden, I agree to follow the following Garden guidelines and policies.
