Q: What is a release of liability?

A: Our release of liability, or general release, (it is commonly referred to by both names) can be used by any individual, called the "Releasor," to release all claims, liabilities, actions or suits that they may have against another individual or entity, called the "Releasee."

Q: When would I use a release of liability?

A: You can use a release of liability in many different situations-- basically anytime that you have a situation that somebody else is liable for, and you, for whatever reason, want to release that person of their liability. For example, you were hit by a car and were injured as a result. If you have settled with that person, or just do not want to seek damages from that person, you may want to sign a release stating that you are releasing them from any liability arising from the incident. This way they are released from liability and you have a release agreement that is recorded on paper.

Q: How do I make a binding release of liability?

A: You will provide the name and address of the Releasor, the name and address of the Releasee, and a description of the claim that is being released, and we will add all of the necessary legal terminology. The release of liability that we provide you with will clearly state all of the information necessary to make a binding release of liability. Your release of liability will state that you, the Releasor, agree to release any and all claims resulting from a particular incident or occurrence against the Releasee.

Q: What is your Waiver of liability form?

A:, Our waiver of liability is a type of release to prevent one party from being held liable by another. But unlike our release of liability, this form is for potential liability claims-- in other words, those liabilities that may arise, but have not yet done so. It is a form that can be used according to your specific needs, and tailored to your situation. For example, perhaps you own a motorcross track and you allow guests to use your track, and you would like to limit your potential liability. Or perhaps you have a swimming pool that you allow other people to use. By having those who use your facilities sign a form to waive potential liability, you can help prevent, or at least minimize, your liability should they be injured. We also have separate forms that the parent of a minor child can sign, so that their child can use your facility and you can protect yourself from liability should something happen to the child.

Q: Will it absolutely prevent me from being held liable?

A: No, there is no 100% effective means from being held liable should a person be injured while participating in your activities or using your amenities. But a signed waiver can often limit, if not completely prevent your potentially being held liable for the injury of another.

Q: Who should sign these waivers?

A: Anyone who attends your events, uses your facilities, or whatever else the situation may be. If the person is under 18, then make sure that their parent or guardian signs the form. If they are over 18 then they must read and sign the form for themselves.

Q: How do I make a waiver of liability?

A: You will provide us with all the information, such as names, the nature of activity, where it will occur, etc. and we can provide you with a customized legal document that will be a waiver of liability. Your waiver of liability will state that you, the releasee, are not to be held liable for any injury or damage to the releasor resulting from participation in your activities or using your facilities. All you will then be required to do is have the person read and sign the document. It is that quick and easy to help protect yourself from situations in which you may be potentially liable.
