RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY/ASSUMPTION OF RISK: I understand given the services MHM provides, there is risk associated with volunteering. I agree to hold harmless Miracle Hill Ministries, Inc. from any claims or expenses as a result of damage to personal property or personal injury which may result. This release of liability and assumption of risk, including all past occurrences, is intended to release and discharge in advance MHM, board members, officers, agents or employees, and their successors and assignees from and against liability arising out of or connected in any way with my participation.

INSURANCE: I understand that MHM does not assume any responsibility for or obligation to provide me with financial or other assistance including but not limited to medical, health or disability benefits or insurance in the event of my injury, illness, death or damage to property. If I voluntarily transport a MHM program participant in my personal vehicle, I agree to assume all risk and liability of doing so. I understand that if I am involved in a motor vehicle accident while driving for MHM my liability insurance will be used first and that the MHM liability policy will be responsible beginning at $100,000 per person, $300,000 per accident and $100,000 for property damage. If there is a gap in coverage between my liability policy and MHM’s liability policy, I understand that I will be responsible for the financial difference related to that. MHM does not cover, nor are they responsible for, comprehensive and collision coverage to my vehicle.

PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEOGRAPHY RELEASE: I give MHM permission to use my likeness in a photograph, video or other digital media in its publications, including web-based publications, without payment or other consideration. I understand and agree that all images will become the property of MHM and waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising or related to the use of the image. I hereby irrevocably authorize MHM to edit, alter, copy, exhibit, publish or distribute these images for any lawful purpose and waive any right to inspect or approve the finished product wherein my likeness appears.

PII is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact or locate a guest/client. This may include name, address, email address, date of birth, birthplace, etc. If there is a concern for safety of the guest/client or others as a result of the behavior of the guest/client, I will immediately communicate this information to a MHM staff. I will do this even if the guest/client asks me not to. Gratuities/Influence: No volunteer affiliated with MHM will accept gifts of material value, favors or remuneration for personal gain from any individual, agency or organization that does business with MHM.

Services will be granted using the necessary screening tools to ensure beneficial outcomes.External Relationships: For Adult Ministries, MHM prohibits any intimate or romantic relationships between volunteers and guests for one (1) year following the departure of the guest/client from the care of MHM, unless the relationship existed prior to the intake of the guest/client.
