Acknowledgements and Release From Liability
I acknowledge that I have read, understand and will abide by the MERLIN Statement of Principles, copies of which have been given to me.
I also acknowledge that MERLIN mentors are uncompensated and can provide only educational support and that they cannot make business decisions for MERLIN entrepreneurs, and I hereby release from liability, and waive all claims that I, my heirs, successors and assigns may have against any MERLIN mentor or consultant for any actual or claimed errors or other acts or omissions.
I further acknowledge that MERLIN does not control or direct its mentors in connection with services provided to entrepreneurs or their ventures, and I hereby release from liability, and waive all claims that I, my heirs, successors and assigns may have against MERLIN and its directors and officers for any actual or claimed errors or other acts or omissions of the MERLIN mentors.
Finally, I acknowledge that the activities of MERLIN are conducted largely by volunteers on a best-effort basis who are fully independent of and are not directed by the University of Wisconsin, its faculty, its employees, or its officers (collectively, UW), and I hereby release from liability and waive all claims against UW that I, my heirs, successors and assigns may have for any actual or claimed errors or other acts, or omissions, including, but not limited to negligent acts of MERLIN or its directors, officers, or mentors or anyone else connected with MERLIN.
