Consent, License to Use, and Release Agreement
We are happy to have you (or, where applicable, your minor child or ward) participate in the Program. In exchange for your involvement in the Program and the benefits you will receive, you irrevocably consent that WinShape Foundation, Inc. (“WinShape”), its vendors, affiliates, subsidiaries, franchisees, licensees, agents and assigns, and their respective owners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (the “WinShape Parties”/”we”/”us”) may:

- Use, reproduce, distribute, display, and perform the recordings (including as edited and modified) and your name, likeness, statements, nicknames, and materials that you provide to us (such as photos, videos, stories and/or other content) (“materials”) either alone or with other content, in any media or format, now existing or later developed, for marketing, advertising and other commercial and lawful purposes worldwide, now and in the future.
WinShape considers the recordings and media it creates and develops to be its “Works.” As a result, WinShape is the exclusive owner of all rights, including copyrights and other intellectual property rights, in the Works. We are excited to possibly use the recordings, materials and Works as opportunities arise now and in the future, but we also have the option not to use them.

You also hereby represent that, by using the recordings and materials, the WinShape Parties are not violating the rights of a third party (e.g., a talent agency) who would have a claim to owning any rights to or in the recordings or materials.
Statements About the WinShape Parties: You affirm that all statements you provide are true and accurate, are made voluntarily, and are based upon your personal experiences and honest beliefs about the WinShape Parties and their products and services.
The Legal Stuff: To the fullest extent allowed by law, you (for yourself and on behalf of your heirs, next of kin, and anyone else who might make a claim through you) forever waive, release, discharge, indemnify, and covenant not to sue the WinShape Parties for any claims, liabilities, demands, or damages of any kind, regardless of cause (including claims based on rights of publicity or privacy or arising from negligence or an act or omission of the WinShape Parties), or any injunctive or other relief, relating to your participation in the Program or the use or non-use of the recordings, materials or Works as permitted under this agreement. This is a full waiver of your right to seek legal action against the WinShape Parties for any claim related to the Program.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, being aware of Section 1542, you hereby expressly and voluntarily waive any rights you, your personal representatives, executors, heirs, next of kin and any other on your behalf, may have thereunder, as well as under any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.
Georgia law governs this agreement (regardless of anything that could apply to change that). If there is a dispute related to this agreement, you agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal and state courts located in Fulton County, Georgia. If part of this agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, then that part will be enforced as much as possible or removed, and it will not affect the enforceability of the other parts. This agreement reflects our complete understanding and can be changed only in writing signed by both you and WinShape This agreement does not create any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between you and the WinShape Parties.

Release, Waiver and Volunteer/Activity Agreement For Individuals
“Activity”: When we say “Activity,” we mean the program, event, retreat, training, camp or other activity or activities that you attend, participate in, volunteer for or otherwise join that we host, sponsor, plan or provide, whether by yourself or with other participants. You agree that this definition should be interpreted broadly so that this agreement governs any engagement we have with each other. We will refer to the place where the Activity occurs as the “Activity Space.”
“You/Your”: When we say “you” or “your,” we mean you, the participant or volunteer, who signs this Form, and if applicable, the Minor you are signing on behalf of. This agreement is personal to you; you cannot assign it to someone else.
“We/Us/Our”: When we say “we”, “us” or “our”, we mean WinShape Foundation, Inc., WinShape College Program, WinShape Teams, WinShape Marriage, WinShape Retreat, WinShape Camps, WinShape Homes, and to the extent lawful, the campus ministries, partners and churches supporting us in this Activity (if there are any doing so), and each of the foregoing’s affiliates, licensees, subsidiaries, agents and assigns, and their owners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents and representatives.
We are happy to have you participate or volunteer in the Activity! Before the fun can begin, you must read and agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement. To confirm your agreement with all three pages, please sign below.
- You are responsible for following the rules and staying safe. We want this to be a great time together, but you are fully responsible (or in legalese, “solely liable”) for your actions, conduct and safety during the Activity, including following all rules, regulations and instructions. You agree not to use drugs or alcohol while participating or volunteering in the Activity, to wear appropriate clothing for the specific Activity, and not to do anything that you are not completely confident you can do safely.
- You are aware of the risks and accept them. You are fully aware of the risks associated with volunteering or participating in the Activity and you accept and you assume all risks associated therewith (which can include, among other dangers, risks associated with congregating with groups of other people, risks associated with high ropes courses or other related teambuilding but stressful situations or other harm due to any unpredictable act, event, or other unknown). The foregoing expressly includes assumption of risks arising from our own negligent acts or omissions, negligent acts or omissions of volunteers or participants, and those of our independent contractors, vendors, franchisees, agents and supporters (including Chick-fil-A, Inc.) (together with us, called the “Released Parties”, and each individually, a “Released Party”).
- You accept each of the Terms & Conditions. You confirm you have read, understand, and agree to the terms & conditions below, which terms & conditions (including the waivers and releases of liability) are an express part of this agreement. You further agree that if for some reason one of the below terms is not enforceable, then that will not keep the others from being enforced between us.Do not sign until you finish reading. By signing below, I acknowledge that I am freely and voluntarily agreeing to the below terms!
The Detailed Legal Stuff
(What our lawyers call, “terms and conditions.”)
- You release us and waive your rights to sue/file claims. You fully understand and forever waive your rights to sue or file any claims against the Released Parties for any and all injuries, damages, actions, liabilities, demands of every kind and nature whatsoever, based on negligence or otherwise of the Released Parties or other persons participating in the Activity, to the extent allowed by law, whether for personal injuries, property damage, illness, death (including, among other illnesses, any disease, sickness, COVID-19 infection, or other health or chronic complications resulting from or related to COVID-19) or any other loss, by or on behalf of yourself (and/or that you as the Parent/Guardian have or may have on behalf of the Minor), related to your volunteering and/or participation in the Activity or your contribution to, and our use of, the Works (as defined below). This is a full waiver of your significant right to seek legal action against us for any claim related to the Activity. Do not sign above if you do not agree.
- You will indemnify us in certain circumstances. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless each of the Released Parties from and against any and all claims (including third party claims) for injuries, damages, actions, rights, and other liabilities (including reasonable attorney fees), whether for personal injuries, property damage (including damages to the Activity Space, whether or not we own it or simply rented or arranged it), illness, death (including, among other illnesses, any disease, sickness, COVID-19 infection, or other health or chronic complications resulting from or related to COVID-19) or any other loss, damage or expenses, related to or arising from (a) your participation or volunteering in the Activity, (b) use of your Works (as defined below), (c) your breach of or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. In other words, if we incur damages that arise from or relate to your participation in the Activities, you agree to, at a minimum, make us whole. And, if someone else incurs costs, damages or expenses that arise from or relate to your participation in the Activity, and that someone else requires that we pay them any amount or make them whole, you will then make us whole for the liabilities/losses we incur as a result of us making such party whole/making
payments to them. - You can be a part of our marketing. Unless you expressly and clearly opt(ed)-out of this during your onboarding/registering with us through our internal system, you give the Released Parties the full rights, without charge, to use your name, picture, voice, image, and personal story partially or in full, in any media (collectively, the “Works”) for marketing, advertising and other lawful purposes worldwide now and in the future. We consider the recordings and media that we create and develop to be our “Works” and, therefore, we are the exclusive owner of all rights, including copyrights and other intellectual property rights, in the Works. We are excited to possibly use the recordings, materials and Works as opportunities arise now and in the future, and you agree that we do not have to notify you each time we wish to do so, nor do we have to get your review or approval each time and you waive any moral rights that may exist. We hope the recordings, materials, and Works will be great, but we also have the right not to use them. You agree that we do not have any payment, other compensation, or acknowledgement obligations to you. You also hereby represent to us that by using the recordings and materials, we are not violating the rights of a third party (e.g., a talent agency or your friend who is a photographer) who would have a claim to owning any rights to or in the recordings or materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not apply to WinShape Marriage Intensives.
- Your participation is voluntary and you are choosing to participate. You confirm that you have no medical conditions or physical limits which will impact your ability to participate in the Activity, and that your participation in the Activity is entirely voluntary. In other words, every action you take in the Activity is one that you alone choose to take. We are not forcing or coercing you in any way to take any action whatsoever as part of the Activity. Volunteers acknowledge they are not employees of us, will not be paid for their participation, and are not covered by or eligible for insurance, workers’ compensation, or other benefits.
- Use of activity space and materials. You agree to treat the Activity Space with respect and due care, and you represent to us that you will not inflict any damage to any portion thereof, other than reasonable wear and tear resulting from responsible use. You agree not to endanger or injure any other participant. You also agree that we or our assigns own all of the program materials that we provide to you, and you agree to not violate any of our intellectual property rights therein by reproducing such materials or by otherwise taking any action that would suggest your ownership of them.
- Confidentiality. You agree to keep our and your fellow volunteers’/participants’ confidential information just that, confidential, and you will not share it with anyone without our written permission. When we say “confidential information,” we mean any information that we tell you is confidential or that a reasonable person would consider confidential. Examples include sensitive personal stories, sensitive marriage issues and financial information. Take care of our and their confidential information just like you would your own. Don’t share it with anyone, including over social media, text, email or otherwise. Of course, you are free to use information generally available to the public (unless, of course, you caused our confidential information to be publicly available) or that you had or independently created without our confidential information (but be prepared to prove it). These confidentiality obligations continue past the date of the event you are volunteering for or participating in.
- Cancellation of the activity. If you are joining us through a separate group (e.g., your church, school or employer has engaged us), then our agreement with such group will govern our cancellation policies. If you are joining us as an individual, or if our agreement with your group doesn’t discuss cancellation, then the following shall apply: (a) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing signed by both you and us, in the event you cancel your participation in the Activity at least thirty days prior to the start date of the Activity, you must pay us fifty percent (50%) of the Price/Fee. (b) No refund of any fee paid in advance will be issued if you cancel the Activity within thirty days of the start date of the Activity. (c) We reserve the right to cancel the Activity at any time without any obligation to provide a refund to you. (d) We will refund your Price/Fee if, during the 14 day period before the Activity, you either test positive for COVID-19 or are ill with COVID-19. We reserve the right to ask for supporting documentation before issuing this refund. This Section does not apply to volunteers.
- Limitation on liability. Except to the extent caused by our gross negligence, we are not liable to you under this agreement for (I) indirect, consequential, punitive or incidental losses or damages, including lost profits, regardless of whether any such losses or damages are characterized as arising from breach of contract or otherwise, even if we are advised of the possibility of such losses or damages or (II) any damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses in any way arising out of, under or in connection with this agreement for any amounts in excess of the fees paid by you for the services provided in the activity or in the event of volunteers, five hundred dollars ($500).
- You are an adult with capacity to sign. You represent that you are an adult (at least 18 or the age of majority in your state or country of residence with legal capacity to sign). You have read and understand this agreement, and it does not conflict with any other commitments you have made. You understand the agreement includes a waiver and release of claims against us. If signing (or if applicable, clicking the box and entering your name) this consent agreement on behalf of your minor child or ward, you represent that you have full legal capacity to execute this agreement on behalf of such minor child or ward and will not seek to disaffirm this agreement.
- Miscellaneous. You agree that We can share Your personal information as appropriate with the staff, agents, employees, volunteers for purposes of facilitating Your registration and participation in a WinShape Activity with or by Us. Georgia law governs this Agreement (regardless of anything that could apply to change that). If we have a dispute related to this Agreement, you agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal and state courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, USA. You agree that a breach of any of these terms and conditions, including confidentiality obligations, would cause us irreparable harm and that we will be entitled to seek temporary or permanent injunctive relief to enforce our rights. If a part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, then that part will be enforced as much as possible or removed, and will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other parts. This Agreement can be changed only in writing signed by both of us. This Agreement reflects our complete understanding regarding the Activity and your participation or volunteering.You acknowledge that if you are a resident of California, you have been advised or had the opportunity to be advised by legal counsel, and understand your waiver includes the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 (“Section 1542”), which provides as follows:A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, being aware of Section 1542, you hereby expressly and voluntarily waive any rights you, your personal representatives, executors, heirs, next of kin and any other on your behalf, may have thereunder, as well as under any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.Any translation of this Agreement is prepared for convenience of the parties and in the event of a dispute between the English version and any non-English versions, the English version of this Agreement shall govern.

Usted acepta que esta definición debe interpretarse ampliamente de manera que este acuerdo rija cualquier compromiso que tengamos entre nosotros. Nos referiremos al lugar donde se lleva a cabo la Actividad como el “Espacio de la Actividad”.

- Usted es responsable de seguir las reglas y mantenerse seguro.

Lo anterior incluye expresamente la asunción de riesgos que surgen de nuestros propios actos u omisiones negligentes, actos negligentes u omisiones de voluntarios o participantes, y los de nuestros contratistas independientes, proveedores, franquiciados, agentes y contribuyentes (incluido Chick-fil-A, Inc.) (junto con nosotros, se denominan las “Partes exoneradas”, y cada uno individualmente, una “Parte exonerada”).
- Acepta cada uno de los Términos y Condiciones. Usted confirma que ha leído, comprende y acepta los términos y condiciones que aparecen a continuación, los cuales forman parte expresa de este acuerdo (incluidas las renuncias y exenciones de responsabilidad). Además, acepta que si por alguna razón no es posible exigir el cumplimiento de uno de los términos a continuación, entonces eso no impedirá que podamos exigir el cumplimiento de los demás.No firme hasta que termine de leer. Al firmar a continuación, reconozco que acepto libre y voluntariamente los siguientes términos.
El material legal detallado
(Lo que nuestros abogados llaman “términos y condiciones”).
- Usted nos exime y renuncia a sus derechos de demandar/presentar reclamaciones. Usted comprende plenamente y renuncia para siempre a sus derechos de demandar o presentar cualquier reclamación contra las Partes exoneradas por todas y cada una de las lesiones, daños, acciones, responsabilidades, demandas de todo tipo y naturaleza, en función de la negligencia o de otro modo de las Partes exoneradas u otras personas que participan en la Actividad, en la medida permitida por la ley, ya sea por lesiones personales, daños a la propiedad, enfermedad, muerte (incluida, entre otras enfermedades, cualquier enfermedad, afección de salud, infección por COVID-19 u otras complicaciones crónicas o de salud que resulten de la COVID-19 o estén relacionadas con la misma) o cualquier otra pérdida, por parte de usted o en nombre de usted (o que usted, como padre/madre o tutor, tiene o puede tener en nombre del menor), que estén relacionados con su voluntariado o participación en la Actividad o su contribución a, y nuestro uso de, las Obras (según se definen a continuación). Esta es una renuncia total a su derecho significativo de iniciar acciones legales contra nosotros por cualquier reclamación relacionada con la Actividad. No firme arriba si no está de acuerdo.
- Usted nos indemnizará en ciertas circunstancias. Usted defenderá, indemnizará y eximirá de responsabilidad a cada una de las Partes exoneradas contra todas y cada una de las reclamaciones (incluidas las reclamaciones de terceros) por lesiones, daños, acciones judiciales, derechos y otras responsabilidades (incluidos los honorarios razonables de abogados), ya sea por lesiones personales, daños materiales (incluidos los daños al Espacio de la Actividad, independientemente de que seamos propietarios del mismo o simplemente lo alquilamos u organizamos), enfermedad, muerte (incluida, entre otras enfermedades, cualquier enfermedad, enfermedad, infección por COVID-19, u otras complicaciones crónicas o de salud que resulten o estén relacionadas con la COVID-19) o cualesquier otras pérdidas, daños o gastos, relacionados o que surjan de (a) su participación o voluntariado en la Actividad, (b) el uso de sus Obras (según se definen más adelante), (c) su infracción o incumplimiento de las disposiciones de este Acuerdo o de la ley aplicable. En otras palabras, si sufrimos daños y perjuicios que surjan de su participación en las Actividades o se relacionen con esta, usted acepta, como mínimo, resarcirlos. Y, si otra persona asume o sufre costos, daños o gastos que surgen o se relacionan con su participación en la Actividad, y esa otra persona requiere que le paguemos cualquier monto o le brindemos una compensación, usted nos compensará por las responsabilidades/pérdidas en las que incurramos como resultado de que hayamos hecho pagos/compensado a dicha parte.
- Usted puede ser parte de nuestro marketing. A menos que usted opte por excluirse (o haya optado por excluirse) de manera expresa y clara de esto durante su incorporación/registro con nosotros a través de nuestro sistema interno, usted otorga a las Partes exoneradas los derechos completos, sin cargo, de usar su nombre, fotografía, voz, imagen e historia personal parcial o totalmente, en cualquier medio (en conjunto, las “Obras”) para fines de marketing, publicidad y otros fines legales en todo el mundo ahora y en el futuro. Consideramos que las grabaciones y los medios que creamos y desarrollamos son nuestras “Obras” y, por lo tanto, somos los propietarios exclusivos de todos los derechos, incluidos los derechos de autor y otros derechos de propiedad intelectual, sobre las Obras. Nos complace tener la posibilidad de usar las grabaciones, los materiales y las Obras a medida que surjan oportunidades ahora y en el futuro. Asimismo, usted acepta que no tenemos que notificarle cada vez que deseemos hacerlo, ni tenemos que obtener su revisión o aprobación cada vez y renuncia a cualquier derecho moral que pueda existir. Esperamos que las grabaciones, los materiales y las Obras sean excelentes, pero también tenemos derecho a no usarlos. Usted acepta que no tenemos ninguna obligación de pago, otra compensación o reconocimiento con usted. Por el presente, usted también nos declara que, al usar las grabaciones y los materiales, no estamos violando los derechos de un tercero (p. ej., una agencia de talentos o su amigo que es fotógrafo) que tendría una reclamación de ser propietario de cualquier derecho sobre las grabaciones o los materiales. Sin perjuicio de lo anterior, esta Sección no se aplicará a las sesiones de terapia de pareja WinShape Marriage Intensives.
- Su participación es voluntaria y es usted quien toma la decisión de participar. Usted confirma que no tiene afecciones médicas ni limitaciones físicas que afecten su capacidad para participar en la Actividad, y que su participación en la Actividad es completamente voluntaria. En otras palabras, es usted quien toma la decisión de llevar a cabo cada acción que realice en la Actividad. No lo estamos obligando ni forzando de ninguna manera a tomar ninguna medida como parte de la Actividad. Los voluntarios reconocen que no son empleados de nosotros, que no recibirán ningún pago por su participación y que no están cubiertos ni cumplen los requisitos para recibir seguro, compensación de trabajadores por accidentes laborales u otros beneficios.
- Uso del espacio de la actividad y materiales. Usted acepta tratar el Espacio de la Actividad con respeto y el debido cuidado, y nos asegura que no causará ningún daño a ninguna parte de este, excepto el desgaste razonable que resulte del uso responsable. Usted acepta no poner en peligro ni lesionar a ningún otro participante. También acepta que nosotros o nuestros cesionarios somos propietarios de todos los materiales del programa que le proporcionamos, y se compromete a no violar ninguno de nuestros derechos de propiedad intelectual sobre ellos reproduciendo dichos materiales o tomando cualquier medida que sugiera que usted es propietario de ellos.
- Confidencialidad. Usted acepta mantener la confidencialidad de nuestra información confidencial y la de sus compañeros voluntarios/participantes, y no la compartirá con nadie sin nuestra autorización por escrito. Cuando decimos “información confidencial”, nos referimos a cualquier información que le digamos que es confidencial o que una persona razonable consideraría confidencial. Algunos ejemplos incluyen historias personales sensibles, asuntos matrimoniales sensibles e información financiera. Cuide nuestra información confidencial y la de ellos como lo haría con la suya. No la comparta con nadie, lo cual incluye la divulgación a través de redes sociales, mensajes de texto, correos electrónicos u otros medios. Por supuesto, usted es libre de usar información que es de disposición general para el público (a menos que, por supuesto, usted haya hecho que nuestra información confidencial llegara a ser de conocimiento público) o que haya tenido o creado de manera independiente sin nuestra información confidencial (pero tenga a mano lo que corresponda para probar esto). Estas obligaciones de confidencialidad continúan después de la fecha del evento para el que se ofrece como voluntario o en el que participa.
- Cancelación de la actividad. Si se une a nosotros a través de un grupo separado (p. ej., su iglesia, escuela o empleador nos contrata), entonces nuestro acuerdo con dicho grupo regirá nuestras políticas de cancelación. Si se une a nosotros como persona natural, o si nuestro acuerdo con su grupo no aborda el asunto de cancelación, entonces se aplicará lo siguiente: (a) a menos que se acuerde algo diferente por escrito, firmado por usted y por nosotros, en caso de que cancele su participación en la Actividad al menos treinta días antes de la fecha de inicio de la Actividad, debe pagarnos el cincuenta por ciento (50 %) del Precio/Cargo. (b) No se emitirá ningún reembolso de ningún cargo pagado por adelantado si cancela la Actividad dentro de los treinta días de la fecha de inicio de la Actividad. (c) Nos reservamos el derecho de cancelar la Actividad en cualquier momento sin ninguna obligación de proporcionarle un reembolso. (d) Le reembolsaremos su Precio/Cargo si, durante el período de 14 días antes de la Actividad, tiene un resultado positivo en la prueba de COVID-19 o está enfermo de COVID-19. Nos reservamos el derecho de solicitar documentación de respaldo antes de emitir este reembolso. Esta sección no se aplica a los voluntarios.
- Limitación de responsabilidad. Excepto en la medida en que sean causados por nuestra negligencia grave, no somos responsables ante usted en virtud de este acuerdo por (I) pérdidas o daños indirectos, emergentes, punitivos o incidentales, incluida la pérdida de ganancias, independientemente de si se considera que dichas pérdidas o daños se derivan de incumplimiento de contrato o de otro motivo, incluso si se nos informa de la posibilidad de tales pérdidas o daños o (II) cualquier daño, reclamación, responsabilidad, costo o gasto que de cualquier manera surja de, en virtud de o en relación con este acuerdo, por cualquier monto que supere los cargos pagados por usted por los servicios prestados en la actividad o en el caso de voluntarios, quinientos dólares ($500).
- Usted es un adulto con capacidad para firmar. Declara que es un adulto (tiene al menos 18 años o la mayoría de edad en su estado o país de residencia con capacidad legal para firmar). Ha leído y comprende esta acuerdo, y confirma que este no entra en conflicto con ningún otro compromiso que haya asumido. Usted comprende que el acuerdo incluye una renuncia y exención de reclamaciones en nuestra contra. Si firma (o si corresponde, hace clic en la casilla e ingresa su nombre) este acuerdo de consentimiento en nombre de su hijo menor de edad o pupilo, usted declara que tiene plena capacidad legal para firmar este acuerdo en nombre de dicho hijo menor de edad o pupilo y no intentará reirar el consentimiento de este acuerdo.
- Disposiciones varias. Usted acepta que podemos compartir Su información personal y de salud según corresponda con el personal, los agentes, los empleados, los voluntarios y la Iglesia Anfitriona (si la hubiera) con el fin de facilitar Su registro y participación en un Campamento WinShape (WinShape Camp) o una Actividad WinShape (WinShape Activity) realizado con Nosotros o por Nosotros. La ley de Georgia rige este Acuerdo (independientemente de cualquier cosa que pueda aplicarse para cambiar esta disposición).Si llegáremos a tener una controversia relacionada con este Acuerdo, usted acepta la jurisdicción y competencia exclusivas de los tribunales federales y estatales ubicados en el condado de Fulton, Georgia, EE. UU. Usted acepta que el incumplimiento de cualquiera de estos términos y condiciones, incluidas las obligaciones de confidencialidad, nos causaría un daño irreparable y que tendremos derecho a solicitar medidas cautelares temporales o permanentes para hacer cumplir nuestros derechos. Si una parte de este Acuerdo se considera inválida o inaplicable, esa parte se aplicará en la medida más amplia que sea posible o se eliminará, y no tendrá efecto sobre la validez o aplicabilidad de las otras partes. Este Acuerdo solo puede modificarse mediante un documento escrito firmado por ambos. Este Acuerdo refleja nuestro entendimiento completo con respecto a la Actividad y su participación o voluntariado.Usted reconoce que si es residente de California, se le ha recomendado consultar un asesor jurídico o tuvo la oportunidad de consultar un asesor jurídico, y comprende que su renuncia incluye las disposiciones de la sección 1542 del Código Civil de California (“Sección 1542”), que establece lo siguiente:Una exención general de responsabilidades no se extiende a aquellas reclamaciones que el acreedor o la parte exonerante no sabe ni sospecha que existen a su favor al momento de firmar la exención y que, de haber sido conocidas por él o ella, habrían tenido un efecto sustancial sobre su acuerdo con el deudor o la parte exonerada.Sin perjuicio de las disposiciones de la Sección 1542, teniendo en cuenta la existencia de la Sección 1542, por el presente renuncia de manera expresa y voluntaria a cualquier derecho que usted, sus representantes personales, albaceas, herederos, parientes más cercanos y cualquier otro en su nombre puedan tener en virtud de dicha disposición legal, así como en virtud de cualquier otra ley o principio de derecho de common law de efecto similar.Toda traducción de este Acuerdo se elabora para facilitar la lectura de las partes y en caso de una controversia entre la versión en inglés y cualquier versión que no sea en inglés, tendrá prelación la versión en inglés de este Acuerdo.
