This obligation extends to any fees, penalties, or expenses assessed by third parties due to my actions. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge my responsibility to uphold the Organization’s standards of conduct and to treat all property with care and respect. Failure to do so may result in financial liability and potential exclusion from further participation in Organization activities.
