Document background
A Waiver Of Liability Statement is commonly used in situations where activities or services carry inherent risks. Under English and Welsh law, this document serves to protect service providers from certain legal claims while ensuring participants are fully aware of potential risks. The waiver must be carefully drafted to comply with the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and related legislation, as certain liabilities cannot be excluded. The document typically includes detailed risk descriptions, clear acknowledgments, and explicit waiver statements, though it cannot exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
