MedShare

The medical supplies, equipment, materials and other items (“Materials”) available from MedShare International (“MedShare”) are items that would have been discarded or otherwise disposed of by hospitals or health care providers in the United States. These Materials are being made available strictly on an “as is” basis for humanitarian use in circumstances in which sufficient alternative sources of such resources are not available. The recipient organization recognizes that MedShare and the donor facilities do not make any representations or warranties, either express or implied, as to the condition of the Materials, and further recognizes that MedShare and the donor facilities make no representations or warranties, express or implied, that the Materials are fit, appropriate, free from defects, sterile, pure, operable, or otherwise suitable for any intended purpose. The recipient organization accepts the Materials “as is,” with all faults, and acknowledges that the inspection for any defects and the safe operation of said Materials is solely the responsibility of the recipient organization. Each recipient organization, recipient facility, and responsible manager of such entities assumes full responsibility for making an independent determination of the appropriateness of the Materials (or any part thereof) before using them, and for discarding any Materials which are not appropriate for use. Under no circumstances shall MedShare, the manufacturer or distributor of the Materials, or any United States hospital or health care provider that ever owned or used the donated equipment, be liable to recipient organization or anyone for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage resulting from the Materials or their use. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the recipient organization fully accepts and assumes all risks and all responsibility for losses, costs, and damages that the recipient organization, its agents, representatives, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, patients, and transferees (“Users”) may incur as a result of the Materials or their use, including without limitation personal injuries, illness, damage, loss to property, and death.

MedShare and the recipient organization recognize that this agreement shall release MedShare and the donor facilities from any and all liability for personal injury and/or any other type of injury arising from the use of the Materials. The recipient organization acknowledges that the consideration for this release and indemnification is the donation of the Materials themselves. By making an application for the receipt of such Materials and by accepting such Materials, the recipient organization, to the maximum extent permitted by law, fully releases, acquits, and forever discharges MedShare, the donor facilities, and each and every past and present subsidiary, affiliate, officer, director, agent, servant, employee, trustee, and representative of MedShare and the donor facilities (“Released Persons and Entities”) from any and all loss, damages, claims, causes of action, suits, debts, liens, obligations, liabilities, demands, costs and expenses of any kind, character, or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which might arise from or be related or associated in any way with the Materials or their use, including but not limited to any injury, illness, disease, property damage, death, or loss of any nature suffered or sustained in connection with the use or possession of the Materials. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the recipient organization also agrees to indemnify, save, and hold the Released Persons and Entities harmless for any loss, damages, claims, causes of action, suits, debts, liens, obligations, liabilities, demands, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any kind, character, or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which may be incurred arising out of or related to the use or possession of the Materials, regardless of the nature or the extent of the injury, illness, disease, property damage, death, or loss, and regardless of whether it results from the negligence of the Users or of the Released Persons and Entities. Recipient organization agrees to provide MedShare with photos and feedback whenever possible related to how the medical supplies and equipment from this shipment are used. Recipient organization gives MedShare permission to use stories, photos and video related to this shipment for marketing and fundraising purposes.
