A waiver or release is the intentional and voluntary act of relinquishing something, such as a known right to sue a person, educational institution, or organization for an injury. The term waiver is sometimes used to refer a document that is signed before any damages actually occur. A release is sometimes used to refer a document that is executed after an injury has occurred.
Courts vary in their approach to enforcing releases depending on the particular facts of each case, the effect of the release on other statutes and laws, and the view of the court of the benefits of releases as a matter of public policy. Many courts will invalidate documents signed on behalf of minors. Also, Courts do not permit persons to waive their responsibility when they have exercised gross negligence or misconduct that is intentional or criminal in nature. Such an agreement would be deemed to be against public policy because it would encourage dangerous and illegal behavior.

This form encompasses the risks involved and holds the legal guardian responsible for assuming liability on behalf of the minor. 4. Release and Waiver of Liability for Personal Property: While our primary concern is the safety of our customers, we understand the value of personal belongings. Hence, we offer a Release and Waiver of Liability for Personal Property, which allows customers to acknowledge the potential risks posed to their personal belongings during the course of their ride. The form outlines the responsibilities of both the customer and the Owner/Operator to minimize the chances of damage or loss.
