I understand that the Newberry Opera House Foundation can unilaterally rescind, modify, or make exceptions to any of these policies, or adopt new policies, at any time.

I understand that I am providing volunteer services and that volunteer in no way implies an
employment relationship. Accordingly, my volunteering status may be terminated at any time, by me or by the Newberry Opera House Foundation with or without notice and with or without cause.

I understand and agree that the Newberry Opera House is a non-profit organization, and I, as evidenced by the contribution of my time and efforts, desire to help the Newberry Opera House achieve its mission. It is for that reason that I do hereby intentionally waive, release and forever discharge, and shall fully and on demand indemnify and hold Newberry Opera House harmless from, any and all, claims, liability, damages, and other costs, which I may now or hereafter have against Newberry Opera House or which is incurred by Newberry Opera House on account of any matter associated in any way with the my service at Newberry Opera House.

No volunteer may report to work with illegal drugs (or their metabolites) or alcohol in his/her bodily system.

I understand that as a volunteer, I am a representative of the Newberry Opera House Foundation when posting online and speaking with guests, friends, and the public. I agree to express only my person opinions and to never represent myself as a spokesperson for the Foundation. I agree to always make it clear that I am not speaking on behalf of the Foundation when the posts I make relate to the work I do at the Opera House.

I understand that Ambassadors should not speak to the media on the Foundation’s behalf and that all media inquiries should be directed to the Executive Director.

I understand that the Newberry Opera House makes every effort to comply with all State and Federal regulations to ensure a performance venue which is safe, comfortable, and secure.

Purchasing a ticket, volunteering, or attending a performance at the Newberry Opera House includes inherent risks.

As a result, I AGREE to INDEMNIFY and HOLD HARMLESS the Newberry Opera House, The

I understand and acknowledge that I have access to event location with right and obligation to
inspect prior to each event and agree to participate in the ‘as is’ condition.
