(GBP) (DBA AS BGOLDN), A COLORADO NON PROFIT CORPORATION, AND ITS AFFILIATED PERSONS AND ENTITIES FROM ANY LIABILITY RESULTING FROM YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ANY VOLUNTEER CAPACITY, AND TO WAIVE ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES AGAINST GBP WHICH MAY ARISE FROM ANY VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES EVEN IF THEY RESULT FROM NEGLIGENCE.

I understand that the volunteer activities shall also include additional activities of any kind or nature, at any time and in any place, that are performed by me on behalf of GBP.

I agree that I will not carry any passengers in my vehicle while performing any volunteer activities.

I, the volunteer, exercising my own free choice to participate voluntarily in volunteer activities, and promise to take due care during such participation, hereby acknowledge that I have been informed of the nature of the volunteer activities and that I am aware of the hazards and risks which may be associated with my participation in the volunteer activities, including the risks of bodily injury, illness, death, or damage to property which may occur from known or unknown causes.

I understand, accept, and assume all such hazards and risks, and waive all claims against GBP and its affiliated persons.

I understand that I am solely responsible for any costs arising out of any bodily injury or property damage that I may sustain through my participation in normal or unusual acts associated with the above-named volunteer activities, regardless of whose fault may be the cause of my injuries or damages, EVEN IF CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS OR NEGLIGENCE, so long as the conduct which caused the injuries or damages was not grossly negligent, or willful and wanton.

Further, I hereby indemnify and hold harmless GBP and its members, officers, agents, and any other persons or entities acting on their behalf, and the successors and assigns for any and all of the aforementioned persons and entities, against any and all claims, demands, and causes of action whatsoever, whether presently known or unknown, of any person who suffers any injury, illness, disability, death, or other harm, to person or property or both, as a result of my participation in and/or presence at the above listed volunteer activities.

I understand that, as a volunteer, I will not receive wages, benefits, or any other form of compensation to perform any of the above-named volunteer activities. I understand that, except as otherwise agreed to by GBP in writing, GBP does not carry or maintain health, medical, disability, accident, liability (including without limitation motor vehicle liability), property loss or damage (including without limitation motor vehicle collision damage) insurance coverage for any volunteer, including me.

I expressly agree that this Release From Responsibility, Assumption of Risk, and Waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the state of Colorado, and that this Release From Responsibility, Assumption of Risk, and Waiver shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Colorado.

I agree that in the event that any clause or provision of this Release From Responsibility, Assumption of Risk, and Waiver shall be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such clause or provision shall not otherwise affect the remaining provisions of this Release From Responsibility, Assumption of Risk, and Waiver, which shall continue to be enforceable.
