  • Release of Liability

    I do hereby release Youth With A Mission, its agents employees and volunteer assistants from any liability whatsoever arising out of any injury, damage or loss which may be sustained by said person during the course of involvement with Youth With A Mission. Although it is most unlikely that anyone would pass away during their time of participation in YWAM activities, existing laws regarding burial make it necessary to consider this possibility prior to travel a broad. In many countries in which YWAM works, burial must take place within 24 hours of death, making it impossible to make arrangements for returning the body to the home country, and burial therefore taking place in the region. In those instances in which arrangements to repatriate the body can be made it is invariably very expensive, some countries requiring that a person accompany the deceased. For this reason, we cannot guarantee repatriation, and would ask you to consider the following: In the event of my death, I give my permission to be buried in the country of my death unless my family wishes to repatriate the body at their own expense. If, on the contrary, I desire to bear this expense myself, I agree to take an insurance covering this eventuality.

I understand that payment of the required fees must be made in Euro’s prior to, or upon my arrival, or according to schedule, unless otherwise approved by the School Director before the program’s commencement. Furthermore, I agree to meet in a timely manner, prior to the completion of the program, all personal expenses incurred during my involvement with Youth With A Mission Bridges of Life, including financial responsibility for negligent loss or damage of property. I also understand the penalties for early termination or withdrawal.
  • Consent for Treatment

    In case of emergency, I hereby agree to the performance of such treatment, including anaesthesia and surgery, as the attending doctor or physician may deem necessary. I also accept full responsibility for expenses related to medical care. I hereby release Youth With A Mission, its agents, employees and volunteer assistants from any liability whatsoever arising out of any injury, damage, or loss which may be sustained by said person during the course of involvement with Youth With A Mission. I agree to resolve any and all disputes with Youth With A Mission, YWAM Directors, or staff by means of reconciliation or mediation and waive any right to pursue action by way of litigation.
