Document Overview
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.
A national tour waiver outlines an agreement between the customer and tour business to waive and release liability. This agreement waives the right of the customer to sue your business if any mishaps, injuries or loss were to occur whilst on tour. In addition, the document will also outline the potential risks associated with travelling on a domestic tour. These risks must be acknowledged and accepted by customers prior to travel.
Important
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.
The Legal Risk Score of a National Tour Waiver Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document allows for significant alterations to the tour, including cancellation or modification without prior notice, potentially leaving participants without recourse for changes that could affect their plans significantly.
- Participants are required to assume all risks associated with their participation in the tour, including but not limited to health risks and risks from activities, which means that any adverse events occurring during the tour are primarily the participant's responsibility.
- The waiver demands that participants comply with all laws and regulations during the tour and holds participants solely responsible for any legal violations, which may expose them to legal risks if unfamiliar with the local laws of the areas visited.
Overall, this document presents a higher level of risk to the participant than to the organiser, as it transfers most liabilities and responsibilities onto the participant while limiting the organiser's obligations. Participants should be aware that signing this document significantly reduces their ability to claim against the organiser for most issues that could arise during the tour, making it crucial for them to fully understand and accept these terms.
