Activity Waiver and Release

An Activity Waiver and Release is an agreement between two parties releasing one of them from being liable for any harm that may occur as a result of physical activities.

By signing this document, the participants agree that they are aware of the risks involved and possible injuries that might happen and willingly agree not to make liability claims against the other party. Moreover, they understand they should consult their physician before any unusual physical activity. If they are to become injured, they agree to take full responsibility. This means the organization hosting the event will not be responsible for any accidental harm.

If your organization is sponsoring or organizing any such event, getting the participants to sign a Activity Waiver and Release is necessary. You still have to do your due diligence, such as not knowingly provide faulty equipment that may significantly reduce the chances of the waiver holding up in court.

Depending on your state, an Activity Waiver and Release may also be known as:

• Indemnity agreement

• Release of liability

• Waiver

• Waiver of rights

• Waiver of liability

• Hold harmless agreement

• Assumption agreement

• Pre-injury release

• Exculpatory agreement

• Assumption of risk

To create your document, please provide:

• Personal information: The identity of your company and the person who is signing the waiver.

• Risk involved: Clearly state why certain physical activities are dangerous and inform the releasor so that they can decide whether they still want to participate.

• Assumption of risk: Include a statement that reminds the releasor of the risks involved.

• Effective date: The date that this document becomes valid.

**Please allow up 24-48 hours for your document to be completed.**
