The Volunteer Liability Waiver is a crucial document for organizations operating in Germany that engage volunteers in their activities. It is designed to comply with German civil law requirements, particularly the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB), while providing necessary protections for both the organization and volunteers. This document should be used whenever an organization engages volunteers for any type of activity, from administrative tasks to event support or direct service provision. The waiver includes specific provisions addressing liability limitations (noting that under German law, liability for intentional or grossly negligent acts cannot be completely waived), GDPR compliance, insurance coverage, risk acknowledgment, and emergency procedures. It's particularly important that this document balances the organization's need for protection with the legal rights of volunteers under German law.
