participation waiver

We host conversations about race, racism, and systems of oppression. Your participation in the conversation is voluntary and may involve emotions in a manner that might subject you to emotional distress. In participating, you are accepting all risks and assume all responsibility for the emotional distress you experience along with any and all correlating effects, including mental, physical, and spiritual. By attending, you agree to assume total responsibility for your safety and well-being, including protecting your personal property.

In legal terms:

I release from all liability and hold harmless Better Neighbor Lab, and its agents, including, but not limited to, owners, independent contractors, panelists, and volunteers, from any and all legal responsibility for any emotional distress, injury, illness, accident, loss, or other misfortune that may occur in connection with my participation in, or attendance at any cohort, event, or visit facilitated by Better Neighbor Lab.

I also understand that I am releasing and relinquishing legal rights I might otherwise hold. I intend this waiver and release to apply to myself as well as to any person making a claim on my behalf. This waiver and release is part of the consideration I give in order to participate.
