Frequently asked questions

Is a waiver of liability legally enforceable?

Waivers are generally enforceable in most states if they are clear, unambiguous, and not against public policy. However, they cannot waive gross negligence or intentional harm. The specific language and circumstances matter, so it's wise to have an attorney review your final document.

Can I use this waiver for all my services?

You can use a single waiver template, but it's best to customize the service description and risk acknowledgment for each type of service you offer. A vague waiver may be less enforceable, so be specific about what the client is agreeing to.

What if my client is a minor?

Minors cannot legally sign a waiver. You must have a parent or legal guardian sign on their behalf. The waiver should include a separate parental consent and release clause to be valid.
