Indemnity
(Release of Liability/Liability Waiver)

I understand that the POWER et al DNA Project is a project established 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 POWER 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 POWER et al 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 the Power Et Al DNA and History Project administrators from any and all liability, claims, demands or any causes of action, and NOT TO SUE OR OTHERWISE MAKE ANY CLAIM against the Power Et Al DNA and History Project administrators, whatsoever, which may arise during my participation in the POWER Surname DNA Project. I assume full responsibility for any risk occurring from my participation. I understand that the Power Et Al DNA and History Project administrators 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 the Power Et Al DNA and History Project administrators the right to see and copy my results and understand that the Power Et Al DNA and History Project administrators will make sure that I receive a copy of my test results.

I also agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD the Power Et Al DNA and History Project administrators 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 POWER 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 POWER DNA Project to go forward in the genealogical testing of this participant and of permitting the Power Et Al DNA and History Project administrators to serve the quest of the POWER and variant surname families for genealogical relationship data through genetic testing as outlined above. This RELEASE AND WAIVER is further given to enable the Power Et Al DNA and History Project administrators and all the families to figure out if all the different clans are related and at what point in time that did or did not occur. Further, this RELEASE AND WAIVER is given to enable the Power Et Al DNA and History Project administrators to feel free to donate their 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.
