Waiver of Liability

READ CAREFULLY – THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

For and in consideration of good and valuable consideration, including, but not limited to online, CPR and/or First Aid / AED / Babysitter and/or Pet First Aid instruction and certification, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged hereby, I hereby waive my rights to all claims for injuries that I may sustain arising out of this online instruction or any subsequent activities arising there from. I further agree to hold harmless CPRFUNDRAISING.COM, its owners, employees and assigns for all injuries, be them physical, fiscal, or otherwise, that I may inflict upon myself or others as a result of the online or hands-on instruction I receive.

 

Unless otherwise indicated within an online training class, all CPRFUNDRAISING.COM online training courses are Bystander / Community / Lay Responder level training.  Participants requiring HEALTHCARE PROVIDER level training are hereby advised that the current online programs do not meet HEALTHCARE PROVIDER level training.   Additionally, some jurisdictions, such as the State of California, require childcare staff to receive training from a state program approved for childcare workers.  CPRFUNDRAISING.COM does not participate in the State of California’s EMSA program and no stickers are provided on certification cards or certificates of completion.

 

By itself, neither the manual nor the online training constitutes complete and comprehensive training. The emergency care procedures outlined within our online training programs reflects the standard of knowledge and accepted emergency practices in the United States at the time the materials were produced. It is the participant’s responsibility to stay informed of changes in emergency care procedures.  The freely downloaded training manuals shall serve as the guide for training.  ECC (Emergency Cardiac Care) national standards shall override any contradictory information presented throughout any CPRFUNDRAISING.COM course.  

 

You recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury involved in this type of training and real-life application of these skills in an emergency, and You agree to assume the full risk of injuries, including death, damages or losses which You may sustain as a result of completing an online course of instruction or providing emergency care within the scope of your training with CPRFUNDRAISING.COM. You agree to waive and relinquish any and all claims You may have arising out of, or connected with, said course, whether they relate to injuries to myself or others.

 

You understand that if You are participating in a CPRFUNDRAISING.COM fundraising program You are required to click on the link provided by the fundraising organization or on the correct fundraisers page to ensure the fundraising organization receives full credit for your registration.  Registrations made to the wrong fundraising group are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE to the correct group.

 

You understand and agree that your participation is required throughout the online class.  Failure to complete the required material within the allotted time may result in your not receiving training certification(s) at the instructor’s discretion.

 

No refunds will be available for online training or merchandise.  You understand that you may be provided with limited opportunities to retake your certification exam and that no further attempts will be available.

 

If you practice skills, you are hereby advised that you must SIMULATE the skill being taught / demonstrated.  Delivering actual compressions, thrusts, strikes, etc. may cause injuries and therefore must only be simulated.  You understand that rubber and / or latex gloves may cause allergic reactions in people and that if you begin to experience difficulty breathing, redness, itchy skin or any other unusual medical conditions after putting rubber or latex gloves on you must immediately remove the gloves, wash your hands with soapy water and seek immediate medical assistance as this may lead to a potentially life-threatening condition.

 

You understand that You are responsible for verifying the certification requirements of your employer, school, etc.  You understand and acknowledge that CPRFUNDRAISING.COM programs are equivalent to Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) national standards / guidelines and that no relationship exists between CPRFUNDRAISING.COM and The American Red Cross, The American Heart Association or any other training provider.

 

You further understand that The American Red Cross, The American Heart Association or any other training provider logo will not appear on any certification cards, certificates or digital credentials as The American Red Cross, The American Heart Association or any other training provider is not authorized to accredit our training programs.

 

You do hereby fully release and discharge CPRFUNDRAISING.COM its owners, and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damage, or loss which You may have as a result of your participation in any training program.

 

You understand and acknowledge that performing emergency life-saving skills on a person experiencing a medical emergency does not guarantee a positive or successful outcome and that injuries and / or death may result from your performance of those life-saving skills.

 

You understand and agree that you will abide by the Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) national guidelines when performing emergency skills to a person experiencing a medical emergency.  You further agree to never perform emergency skills that are outside your level of training.
