A Release of Liability Form or Waiver of Liability Agreement is a legal document between two parties — the releasor or person promising not to sue — and the releasee or person or company who is potentially liable. By signing this form, the releasor acknowledges that he or she understands the risks and claims involved and agrees to not sue the Releasee for past or future injuries or damages.

This form is alternatively used when an accident like a car wreck or property damage has already occurred. Instead of going through an expensive lawsuit, both parties agree to settle the dispute out of court.

A simple release of liability form will identify the following basic elements:

• Releasor: person who promises not to sue or take any legal action against the owner or organizer of the event or activity being attended

• Releasee: owner or organizer of the event or activity who is at risk of being sued

• Effective Date: when the agreement shall take effect

• Event: description of event, activity, or circumstances being held

• Consideration: the amount of money, promised (in)action, or something of legal value given in return for signing the document

• Governing Law: any disagreements will be resolved using the laws of one state

This form can be used to document a person’s consent to be photographed, filmed, or recorded in a public event or activity. A separate Photo Release Form can also be used.

As a reference, people call this document by other names:

• Conditional and Unconditional Waiver Form

• General Waiver

• Legal Release

• Liability Waiver Form

• Waiver of Liability Agreement
