In consideration of my opportunity to attend AllyCon with the Colorectal Cancer Alliance (“Organization”), I agree to the following.

Image release: I hereby grant the Organization permission to use my likeness in a photograph, video, or other digital media (“Digital Content”) in any and all of its publications, including web-based publications, without payment or compensation. 

I understand and agree that all Digital Content will become the property of the Organization and will not be returned. I hereby irrevocably authorize the Organization to edit, alter, copy, exhibit, publish, or distribute these Digital Content for any lawful purpose. In addition, I waive any right to inspect or approve the finished product wherein my likeness appears. Additionally, I waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising or related to the use of the Digital Content.

Liability release: I acknowledge that I have voluntarily applied to the Organization’s volunteer program. I understand that the scope of my volunteer relationship with the Organization is limited to a volunteer position and that no compensation is expected in return for services provided by me; that the Organization will not provide any benefits traditionally associated with employment; and that I am responsible for my own insurance coverage in the event of illness or personal injury as a result of my services to the Organization.

I hereby release, discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold the Organization harmless from, and waive on behalf of myself and my heirs and personal representatives any and all causes of action, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses, and compensation for damage or loss to myself and/or property that may be caused by any act, or failure to act, of the Organization, or that may otherwise arise in any way in connection with any voluntary activities with, or for, the Organization. 

I understand that this release discharges the Organization from any liability or claim that I or my heirs, personal representatives, or minors I am responsible for may have against the Organization with respect to any bodily injury, illness, death, medical treatment, or property damage that may arise from or in connection with my volunteer activities. This liability waiver and release extends to the Organization together with all of its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, and agents.

I agree that this release will be governed by District of Columbia law and that the exclusive venue for any dispute arising from this release will be a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Washington, DC.

AllyCon pledge: I will treat everyone with respect, courtesy, and consideration. I will not discriminate or permit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or serious medical condition against any person. Through my words and deeds, I will create a safe, welcoming, harassment-free atmosphere at AllyCon. I come to AllyCon in the spirit of bonding, service, and being the best ally I can be—for our colorectal cancer community and for my local community.
