RELEASE OF LIABILITY
I understand that the Denny
Surname DNA Project is a project
established by William L. Denney to test genetically, by commercial means, the
Y-chromosomal DNA of participants and to compare the results with those
of like surnames and with those of Denny or variant surnames.
I also understand the
possibility that a participant's Y-chromosomal DNA will not match that of
others with the same surname where adoption, false paternity, or other
reasons happened in the participant's immediate family or backward in time in
the ancestral line. In consideration of
this right to participate in the Denny Surname DNA Project and
with full knowledge of these possibilities as outlined above, and intending
to be legally bound, I hereby agree for myself and on behalf of all of my
family and heirs to RELEASE William L. Denney from any and all
liability, claims, demands or any causes of action, and NOT TO SUE OR
OTHERWISE MAKE ANY CLAIM against William L. Denney whatsoever
which may arise during my participation in the Denny Surname DNA
Project. I assume full
responsibility for any risk occurring from my participation. I understand that William
L. Denney will make reasonable efforts to protect the identity of the
participant where the test results show a participant's y-chromosomal DNA
will not match that of others with the same surname. I give William L.
Denney the right to see and copy my results and understand that William
L. Denney will make sure that I receive a copy of my test
results. I also agree to
INDEMNIFY AND HOLD William L. Denney HARMLESS from all claims,
judgments, expenses and costs, including but not limited to attorney's fees,
incurred in connection with any claims brought as a result of my
participation in the Denny Surname DNA Project and which are
released by the terms of this agreement. This RELEASE AND WAIVER
is given in the interests of permitting the Denny Surname DNA
Project to go forward in the genealogical testing of this participant and
of permitting William L. Denney to serve the quest of the Denny
and variant surname families for genealogical relationship data through
genetic testing as outlined above. Further, this RELEASE
AND WAIVER is given to enable William L. Denney to feel free to
donate his services and time in organizing this project without fear of
liability. My release is given in exchange for being a participant in this
project. This RELEASE AND WAIVER has no expiration date.
