VOLUNTEER

​

I acknowledge that Scruffy’s Cafe staff will not monitor or assist with my interaction with the cats, but instead will remain available to generally monitor the activities and the activities of other participants. Staff will be available to generally assist or encourage interaction. Scruffy’s Cafe makes no guarantees about any level of monitoring or control of the cats. I acknowledge that I will comply with all instructions and rules, and that failure to do so will result in prohibition from further participation.

​

In consideration for my participation and/or the participation of the minors in my care in the activities at Scruffy’s Cafe, I hereby waive, release, discharge, and covenant not to sue Scruffy’s Cafe, Humane Society of Tennessee Valley and/ or their owners, affiliates, employees, agents, or other involved vendors (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Releasees”) from and against any claim or cause of action, arising out of or related to any loss, damage or injury, that I may sustain while participating in the activities at Scruffy’s Cafe, resulting from any cause, including, but not limited to, any inherent risk as exists with animal interactions. I assume and accept all risk for my participation in these activities, including, but not limited to, personal injury, death, and property damage.

​

I authorize Releasees to administer first aid for injuries I may incur while participating in an activity. I further authorize Releasees to arrange for my ambulance transportation to a hospital at my or a parent’s/guardian’s expense in the event of your incapacitation as a result of injury, at my own expense. Releasees make no guarantee or promise to administer first aid, and that Releasees can only administer first aid if simultaneously certified in first aid and present at Scruffy’s Cafe at time of incident.

​

I agree that this Liability Waiver is intended to be as broad and as inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Tennessee, and that if any provision in this Liability Waiver is held invalid, the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Should I or anyone acting on my behalf choose to challenge the provisions of this Liability Waiver, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Releasees for any and all attorney fees that you may incur.

​

I am over the age of eighteen (18) and of sound mind and body, and acknowledge that I have read and understood the above waiver and, having determined to proceed of my own volition without coercion or intimidation, intend to be bound by the terms thereof.
