The Legal Risk Score of a Liability Waiver (Personal) Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document contains a comprehensive waiver of legal rights, which means that by signing, participants give up the ability to pursue any claims for injuries, damages, or losses that occur as a result of participating in the activities, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
  • The waiver applies even after the termination of the activities, which extends the limitations on legal recourse indefinitely beyond the actual period of participation in the activities.
  • The document is governed by unspecified laws, which could introduce uncertainty regarding the legal framework and interpretations that apply to the terms of the waiver.
