Under no circumstances shall the Volunteer be considered an employee, partner, agent, or principal of the Company. The Volunteer is not entitled to any employee benefits, including but not limited to workers’ compensation, disability insurance, vacation, or sick pay.

The Volunteer is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining, at their own expense, any necessary unemployment insurance, disability insurance, workers’ compensation, and any required licenses or permits for performing the Services.
