The Legal Risk Score of a Fitness Waiver Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- Participants waive their rights to hold the organization liable for any injuries, damages, or death that may occur during activities, except in cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
- The waiver applies to all potential legal claims, including those in tort, contract, and equity, essentially preventing participants from seeking legal recourse for a broad range of issues that might arise from their participation.
- The document’s provisions are heavily in favor of the organization, as it places the responsibility of assessing safety and health conditions on the participant, who must decide when to discontinue participation if conditions seem unsafe.
