Final Agreement & Signature
Our Mission: Provide hope, love, and relief to suffering and impoverished children around the world, encouraging people to lead, serve and experience the life-changing power of God through whatever means possible.
Cancellation Policy: If Samaritan’s Feet cancels a trip for any reason, participants will be notified. Individuals will have the option to transfer their balance to a future Samaritan’s Feet trip within the next 12-month period of the originally scheduled trip. They can also hold the original trips price for the following year should the same trip occur but the price increase. Other than the $150 deposit, donations made towards a trip can be refunded.
If a participant or group cancels their trip 30 days or less prior to departure, all collected funds will be used for the missions, as, by that point, those funds will have been used for the trip’s expenses. Most trips cancelled more than 30 days before departure can receive a full refund minus the $150 deposit but will be at the discretion of Samaritan’s Feet Staff based upon specifics of that trip.
If an individual or group cancels their trip, the $150 deposit may be used for another trip in the same calendar year only. After the calendar year has completed, they will need to submit a new application fee.
Conditions of Volunteer Participation and Release from Liability: Samaritan’s Feet’s desire is to build a community of empowered volunteers dedicated to developing into servant leaders both physically and spiritually. As a volunteer, I will cooperate in the fulfillment of Samaritan’s Feet mission, while encouraging others to join in this worthwhile campaign of bringing relief to children in need around the world. Minors under the age of 16 who plan to travel without a parent or guardian must seek approval from the Samaritan’s Feet office.
Background Certification: I certify that all of the information provided on this application is true and complete. I authorize the Samaritan’s Feet staff to investigate and verify any and all of the information I have submitted. Because Samaritan’s Feet strives to provide a safe environment for children and youth, I understand that the Samaritan’s Feet may order a criminal history check, and I authorize this investigation. Samaritan’s Feet reserves the right to deny any application due to results of background check.
Volunteer Terms: I agree to abide by Samaritan’s Feet policies, procedures and Code of Conduct. I understand Samaritan’s Feet does not provide any health benefits (i.e. medical, dental, workers compensation, etc.) or any accident insurance for me as a volunteer; I understand it is my responsibility to provide this coverage. I understand that Samaritan’s Feet does not provide volunteer compensation or trade volunteer services for paid mission trips.
Property Loss: I understand Samaritan’s Feet is not responsible for my personal property lost, damaged or stolen while participating in Samaritan’s Feet volunteer activities.
Funding Overages: In the event that an individual or group raises more than the required amount for their trip, any overages will be credited as a donation to Samaritan’s Feet.
Baggage: All checked baggage will be used for bringing Samaritan’s Feet shoes and supplies into the country. All personal items must be packed in carry-on bag or the team member will be responsible for paying checked baggage fees.
Medical Treatment: I give permission for Samaritan’s Feet representatives to provide or arrange for emergency care for me, and to arrange for transport to an emergency center for treatment. I consent to medical treatment deemed immediately necessary or advisable by a physician if I am unable to act on my own behalf. I further understand that Samaritan’s Feet is not responsible for payment for such medical treatment.
Photograph or Digital Image Permission: I give permission for Samaritan’s Feet to use, without limitation or obligation, photographs or other media that may include my image or voice to promote or interpret Samaritan’s Feet programs.
Release from Liability: I understand that accidents may occur during my volunteer activities. By signing below, I release the Samaritan’s Feet, its agents, directors, consultants, and employees from all liability based on any damage, loss or injury, whether it is the result of ordinary negligence or otherwise, caused to me or my dependent from participation as a volunteer.
