INTERVARSITY CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP RELEASE AGREEMENT
1. In consideration for being accepted and allowed to participate in
this conference/project and activities associated with its program and
location, I personally assume responsibility for my actions, and
release InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA® (hereafter
InterVarsity®), its Trustees, employees and agents from loss, injury
or damage to myself or my property; provided that nothing contained
herein shall excuse InterVarsity, its Trustees, employees or agents
from responsibility to act with reasonable care for the safety of
myself or my property.
2. I give permission to InterVarsity to
be photographed, recorded, and/or video taped and to allow this
material to be used for publicity.
3. I give permission to
InterVarsity to obtain medical assistance in the event of an emergency.
This permission will include the administration of medicines, surgical
treatment, X-ray examination or hospitalization as might be ordered by
a licensed medical doctor. I release and discharge InterVarsity, its
trustees, employees, and agents from any liability for any first aid
rendered or treatment performed pursuant to this consent.

understand that InterVarsity has a hostage policy that states that
InterVarsity should not yield to demands, including the payment of
ransom or other extortion, issued through the use of hostage taking or
extortion.

claim or dispute arising from or related to this release shall be
settled by mediation and, if necessary, legally binding arbitration in
accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed upon alternative dispute
resolution service. Judgment upon an arbitration decision may be
entered in any court otherwise having jurisdiction. These methods shall
be the sole remedy for any controversy or claim arising out of this

court against InterVarsity for such dispute, except to enforce an
arbitration decision. I certify that I am competent to sign this
Release, and have done so voluntarily.
