I agree that I will only use the confidential information to perform my duties as a volunteer and for no other purpose. I will not at any time, without the express written consent of the Charity, disclose to any person or organization the confidential information. Such obligations shall be in addition to those more particularly set out in any role specific agreement that the Charity may request I sign.

I further undertake to hold and save harmless and agree to indemnify each of the Charity, its past, present and future directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, representatives, subcontractors, successors, assigns, licensees and related persons (collectively, the “releasees”) of and from all judgments, damages, liabilities, claims, demands, and actions of any kind whatsoever for which the releasees or any of them may, now or in the future, become liable for, in respect of any loss, damage, injury or death to any person or property, as the case may be, resulting from or by reason of any act which is in any way connected with my own conduct or my participation as a volunteer, including negligence, breach of contract, or breach of any statutory or other duty of care on the part of the releasees, and further including the failure on the part of the releasees to take reasonable steps to safeguard or protect me from the risks and hazards of volunteering at the Charity.
If I am sued as a result of my participation as a volunteer, this waiver precludes me from seeking contribution and indemnity from any releasee pursuant to any statute or at common law. I understand, acknowledge and agree that the Charity does not carry accident or injury insurance for my benefit and that there may be certain matters for which I could be held at fault personally in connection with my role as a volunteer.
