DISCLAIMER, WAIVER, and AGREEMENT

 

I,__________________________________(print name), by signing this document, affirm that I agree to become a member of Trillium Sanctuary Ministry, until such time as my membership is terminated either by me or by the Trustees of the Ministry.  I affirm that I comprehend the following in regards to the meaning of my membership in Trillium Sanctuary Ministry:

 

    1.  Trillium Sanctuary Ministry is a private membership association (PMA) and integrated auxiliary of the Church of Divine Grace, hereafter 

   referred to as ìthe Associationî  or  ìthe Ministry.î   This means that Trillium 

      Sanctuary is operating only in the private domain, as opposed to the public domain, and that all of the Associationís activities are private and between the members, including financial and business transactions, services rendered, counsel given or any other activity consensually agreed to between members.  By conducting all business in the private domain, the Associationís activities fall outside of the jurisdiction of government entities, agencies, officers, agents, contractors, and other representatives as provided by law and are not subject to the legal codes, acts and statutes, executive orders and mandates, or rules and regulations of such.

    2. Trillium Sanctuary Ministry is a humanitarian service organization and does not proselytize any religion, but respects every memberís understanding and practice of faith, including their privacy regarding such matters.  The stated purpose of Trillium Sanctuary Ministry is to contribute to building a culture in which the sovereign authority of each individual over their own spiritual and physical well being reigns supreme, including the right to rely on Nature and Nature's God for health and healing.

    3.  Any products sold or services rendered within the Ministry, including health-promoting products or treatments, lodging, counseling, consulting, or any other service, are done so without the requirement or presumption of any certification or state-issued license validating those activities, for the express reason that these activities are conducted in the private domain by mutual free-will consent and clear and mature understanding and full self-responsibility on the part of all men and women acting as members of the Association.

    4.  Membership in Trillium Sanctuary is completely voluntary and subject to approval by the association trustees. Membership in the Ministry, as confirmed by the signing of this Disclaimer, Waiver, and Agreement, is a prerequisite for any individual to gain access to the offerings of the Ministry. Individual memberships may be terminated upon determination of the board of trustees, if the trustees conclude that a specific member has interacted with them or any other member in a manner that is contrary or detrimental to the focus, principles, and mission of the Association.  In the case of termination, members will still be bound to the terms of this agreement, particularly in regards to dispute resolution.
