Bike Use Waiver

A waiver is a legal document which protects someone who wants to reduce their risk of liability. Reducing liability is important for businesses, especially those that facilitate risk-related activities (ie. bike riding).

A bike use waiver is a document that outlines an agreement between the customer and bike hire business to waive and release liability. This agreement waives the right of the customer to sue your business if any injuries, damage or loss were to occur whilst riding your bikes. In addition, the document will also outline the risks associated with operating a bike. These risks must be acknowledged and accepted by customers prior to purchasing.

It’s important to remember that there are some exceptions to the release of liability. You won't be protected by a waiver if an incident is caused by some forms of negligence or misconduct on behalf of your business. It is highly recommended that all waivers be reviewed by a lawyer.
