A liability waiver is a legal document that a person who participates in an activity may sign to acknowledge the risks involved in their participation. By doing so, the company attempts to remove legal liability from the business or person responsible for the activity.

A waiver is generally a voluntary relinquishment of a known right and is executed prior to the activity. Basically, a participant surrenders their negligence-based personal injury claim against a business or company. This means the participant agrees to “hold harmless” the organization if they are injured.

Liability waivers are also known as hold harmless agreements for a reason. A hold harmless clause, also known as an exculpatory clause or release of liability clause, is a standard waiver clause that states that one party won't hold the other liable for damages, losses, or costs associated with incurred legal issues.
