not limited to, set construction, costuming, ushering, acting, backstage work, lighting, and working on the fly rails. I also understand that as a volunteer I will receive
no compensation or remuneration for my services and will not be eligible for any employee benefits. I acknowledge that I am not an employee.
In exchange for being allowed to participate in the Activities as a volunteer and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which I
acknowledge, I hereby freely, voluntarily, and without duress execute this Release and agree to the following terms:
1. Assumption of Risk. I am aware and understand that the Activities may be inherently dangerous and may expose me to a variety of foreseen and unforeseen hazards

and risks. I acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in the Activities and have considered those risks. I hereby expressly and specifically assume such risks,
including any and all risk of injury, harm, or loss that I may incur as a result of my participation in the Activities.
The specific risks vary, but may involve minor injury, major injury, and serious injury, including permanent disability and death, and severe social and economic losses
which might result not only from my own actions, inactions, or negligence, but the actions, inactions, or negligence of others, the rules of play, or the condition of the
premises or of any equipment used. I understand and appreciate the risks that are inherent to the Activities.
I hereby assert and agree, on behalf of myself, my family, heirs, personal representative(s), and/or assigns, that my participation in the Activities is voluntary and that I
knowingly assume all such risks. I recognize the importance of following instructions regarding proper technique, training and other established safety rules, guide-
lines and regulations, but understand that I am ultimately responsible for my own safety, and I agree to abide by all rules and regulations governing the activity.
2. Medical Treatment. I hereby give consent and authority to the Organization to obtain medical treatment on my behalf if I am injured or require medical attention
during my participation in the Activities. I understand and agree that I am solely responsible for all costs related to such medical treatment, medical transportation,
and/or evacuation. I hereby release, forever discharge, and hold harmless the Organization from any claim whatsoever in connection with such treatment or other
medical services.
3. Release and Waiver. I hereby fully and forever release and discharge the Organization from, and expressly waive, any and all liability, claims, and demands of what-
ever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, that may arise from my participation in the Activities. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim or demand against
the Organization, and fully and forever release and discharge the Organization from liability under such claims or demands.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS RELEASE DISCHARGES THE ORGANIZATION FROM ANY LIABILITY OR CLAIM THAT I MAY HAVE
AGAINST THE ORGANIZATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY BODILY INJURY, PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH, PROPERTY DAM-
AGE, OR PROPERTY LOSS THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE ACTIVITIES, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE ORGANI-
ZATION OR OTHERWISE.
4. Insurance. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR OR OBLIGATION TO PRO-
VIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR OTHER ASSISTANCE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MEDICAL, HEALTH, OR DISABILITY
INSURANCE OF ANY NATURE IN THE EVENT OF MY INJURY, ILLNESS, OR DEATH, OR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF MY PROPERTY.
I also understand that workers’ compensation insurance is not available to volunteers and that the Organization does not provide workers’ compensation insurance
for volunteers. I expressly waive any claim for compensation or liability on the part of the Organization in the event of any injury or medical expense.
5. Indemnification. I hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Organization from any and all liability, losses, damages, judgments, or expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, that it may incur or sustain as a result of my negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct in connection with my participation in the
Activities, arising out of any third-party claim.
6. Photographic Release. I understand and agree that during the Activities, I may be photographed and/or videotaped by the Organization for internal and/or pro-
motional use. I hereby grant and convey to the Organization all right, title, and interest, including but not limited to, any royalties, proceeds, or other benefits, in any
and all such photographs or recordings, and consent to the Organization’s use of my name, image, likeness, and voice in perpetuity, in any medium or format, for any
publicity without further compensation or permission.

understandings, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, between us, with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any term or provision of this Release
shall be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, that term or provision shall be deemed modified so as to be valid and enforceable to the full extent
permitted. The invalidity of any such term or provision shall not otherwise affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions. This Release is
binding on and inures to the benefit of the Organization and me and our respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and permitted
assigns. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not define, modify, expand, or limit any of the terms of this Release.
8. Governing Law. I hereby agree that this Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted, and that this Release shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without reference to any choice of law doctrine.
BY SIGNING, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS RELEASE AND THAT I AM
VOLUNTARILY GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE THE ORGANIZATION.

I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor named above. I have the legal right to consent to and, by signing below, I hereby consent in all respects to the terms of
this Release. I authorize the Organization to obtain medical treatment for such minor and release it from liability in accordance with Sections 2 & 3 of this Release.

I hereby authorize VeriFYI and/or its Service Provider to request and receive any and all background information about or concerning me as it relates to any sexual
offender or sexual predator history.
I hereby authorize The Naples Players, Inc. to conduct a comprehensive background investigation in connection with my potential volunteerism/employment.
I understand and acknowledge that this may include, but may not be limited to, the following:

1. Obtain criminal history and arrest records;
2. Obtain records pertaining to civil actions in which I am or was previously a party;
3. Obtain driving history and records; and
4. Contact my previous employers regarding my character, ability and habits.

The sexual criminal history, as received from the reporting agencies, may include arrest and conviction data as well as plea bargains and deferred adjudications and
delinquent conduct as committed as a juvenile. I understand that this information will be used, in part, to determine my eligibility for an employment/volunteer
position with this organization. I also understand that as long as I remain an employee or volunteer here, the sexual criminal history check may be repeated at any time.
I understand that I will have an opportunity to review the sexual criminal history as received by client/agency and a procedure is available for clarification, if I dispute
the record as received. I also understand that the sexual criminal history could contain information presumed to be expunged.
I further release and discharge VeriFYI and their Service Provider and all of their Subsidiaries, Affiliates, Officers, Employees, Contract Personnel, or Associates,
from any and all claims and liability arising out of any request for information or records pursuant to this authorization, procurement of an investigative consumer
report and understand that it may contain information about my character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living, whichever are applicable.
This document shall act as an authorization for release of information by any party to The Naples Players, Inc. in connection with the background investigation de-
scribed herein; or in the alternative I agree to execute a separate authorization for release of information as may be required by a party in order to furnish information
in connection with the background investigation described herein. A copy of this Authorization may be presented in lieu of an original and shall have the same force
and effect.
I agree to hold The Naples Players, Inc. harmless with regard to its activities in conducting this background investigation. I further agree to hold all persons or entities
furnishing information to The Naples Players, Inc. in connection with this background investigation harmless with respect to any information which they give.
I understand that I have the right to make written request within a reasonable period of time to VeriFYI for additional information concerning the nature and scope
of the investigation. I acknowledge that I have voluntarily provided the above information for employment/volunteer purposes, and I have carefully read and under-
stand this authorization.
