RELEASE OF LIABILITY Special Angels Foundation is a nonprofit organization with the purpose of improving the lives of children with special needs. Through the Mini Grant Program, Special Angels Foundation provides financial assistance for Equipment, Therapies and other supplies to grant recipients. By signing this document, I agree as follows:
1. Condition “As Is”: Special Angels Foundation is not making any representations, warranties, or guarantees about the Item(s) or therapy including any implied warranties of merchantability. In response to my application for a Mini-Grant, Special Angels Foundation is donating to me an item or therapy. I am accepting the donated Item(s) “as-is.” I understand that Special Angels Foundation will not provide any instructions or follow-up services, replacement parts, or repairs.
2. Assumption of Risk: I understand that there are certain risks of injury that may arise from the possession, use or misuse of the donated Item(s) or therapies, including the risk of injury, disability, or death of my child or other persons, or damage to property. I assume full responsibility for all risks arising directly or indirectly from my possession, use or misuse of the donated Item(s) or therapies, both known and unknown, regardless of the cause.
3. Waiver and Release: I waive and release any and all claims against Special Angels Foundation, its officers, agents and employees (collectively, "Client Parties") with respect to any and all injury, disability, death, loss or damage to property resulting from possession, use or misuse of the donated items or therapies, regardless of the cause and even if caused by negligence, whether passive or active. I agree not to sue any of the Client Parties on the basis of these waived and released claims. I waive the protections of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides that a general release does not extend to certain claims not known to me at the time I signed this document. Special Angels Foundation may use your child's photo or video for advertisement purposes.
4. Indemnity: I will defend, indemnify and hold Special Angels Foundation harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, damages, claims and attorney’s fees that may be suffered by me and/or my grant recipient resulting directly or indirectly from the possession, use or misuse of the donated items or therapies by me or any other person, except and only to the extent the liability is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Client Party.
5. I have read and understand the terms of this agreement. I understand that this agreement covers each and every item I am receiving. I sign it freely and voluntarily.
6. By signing this application, you give Special Angels Foundation permission to contact your child's physician, if deemed necessary, to assist in processing your application.
