Release of Liability

The Holland Recreation Division promotes a non-discrimination policy that ensures participation for all regardless of race, religion, sex, economic status or disability.  In accordance with A.D.A. requirements, if I require special accommodations to perform my services, I must notify the Holland Recreation Division of that need within 182 days after I knew or reasonably should have known that special accommodations were needed.  Failure to do so will bar me from alleging that the City of Holland has not accommodated me as required by law.

I hereby certify that all statements on this application are made truthfully and without evasion, and further understand and agree that such statements may be investigated and if found to be false will be sufficient reason for not being accepted as a volunteer, or it accepted may result in my dismissal.

Should the City determine it necessary to do so, I authorize the City of Holland to secure additional information from my employer, prior employer, educational institutions, or any other persons or organizations which may give the City of Holland information concerning my employment/educational accomplishments, disciplinary information or any other personal information they may have, personal or otherwise, and release all parties from all liabilities for any damage that may result from furnishing this information to the City of Holland.

In consideration of serving as a volunteer coach with the City of Holland.  I am hereby requesting a local and state background history on myself.  I understand that this is only a State of Michigan background check.  If necessary, I will furnish necessary identification (i.e. fingerprints, driver’s license & social security number) for such an investigation to take place.  I hereby authorize the HOLLAND RECREATION DIVISION AND/OR HOLLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT to release any information it may have in its records or may obtain from other sources under my own name and birth date, including my fingerprints, and I hereby release and forever discharge the City of Holland and its agents, its officers and employees from any and all actions, causes of actions, claims and demands for, upon or by reason of any damage, loss or injury, which may be sustained by me in the nature of libel, slander, invasion of privacy or other results from errors or omissions in the information given or from the use of the information, whether by reason or unauthorized use, negligence or otherwise.

I agree to abide by all program rules and regulations set forth by the Holland Recreation Division.  I understand that my volunteer services may be terminated at any time by the Holland Recreation Division.  I also understand that there are certain inherent risks involved in any activity.  I do hereby waive, relinquish, release, discharge and hold harmless the Holland Recreation Division and its employees, volunteers, contributing sponsors and affiliate organizations from any and all liability for any physical or mental injury or aggravation of any pre-existing condition, illness or disability, death, loss of enjoyment or any other harm or loss of any nature which may be sustained by me while serving as a volunteer for the Holland Recreation Division.
