The Legal Risk Score of a Deed of Release and Waiver Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The document enables one party to unconditionally release another from certain obligations, which could lead to a situation where one party may lose the right to hold the other accountable for past or future issues related to these obligations.
- The document must be executed as a deed in order to be effective.
Users familiar with legal documents might appreciate the clarity and finality it offers, but should be cautious of the irreversible nature of the commitments they are making.
