a volunteer with University of North Georgia by participating in the structured volunteer program
organized, controlled, and directed by University of North Georgia as described in the description of

Georgia. In consideration for my service as a volunteer, the University of North Georgia agrees that

If my Volunteer Duties involve assisting with research:
• I understand and agree that federal laws regulating the export of technologies may prohibit
assistance by international individuals on certain types of research projects. I understand that all
University and other required approvals must be secured prior to conducting research activities
and I agree to abide by all policies and procedures governing such activities. If I assist with
research funded by a third party sponsor, I agree to abide by the terms of the sponsorship
agreement. Further, I agree to be bound by any written nondisclosure or confidential disclosure
agreement governing confidential information to which I may have access in the course of my
research activities at University.
• I pledge to disclose any intellectual property developed as a result of my research activities at
University. If valuable intellectual property is created as a result of the research with which I
assist at University, then ownership of such intellectual property shall be determined by University
policy and federal law regarding inventorship and authorship.
• I agree not to disclose any confidential information concerning patients, research subjects,
unpublished research data, and other confidential information of which I may learn in the course of
my volunteer service.

therewith. I do hereby release, waive, discharge and covenant not to sue the University of North
Georgia and the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia their members individually
and their officers, directors, agents, trustees, board members, employees, volunteers, contractors,

with my volunteer status or duties, including personal injury, death, or damage to property arising out
