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.
Despite your business taking all the necessary safety precautions, there is no doubt that skydiving is an activity that involves a high level of risk. As a business offering this type of activity, it is feasible that accidents or injuries may occur while customers are participating.
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. Given the presence of notable risk in this activity, you should always have your waiver reviewed by a lawyer before use.
The Legal Risk Score of a Skydiving Waiver Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document requires participants to acknowledge and accept all risks associated with the recreational activities, including severe risks such as personal injury and death, emphasizing voluntary participation with full knowledge of these risks.
- By signing the document, participants waive their rights to sue the service provider for any injury, disease, or other adverse effects that might occur during the activities, effectively placing all responsibility for any negative outcomes on the participants themselves.
- The agreement restricts participants' rights under the Australian Consumer Law by excluding guarantees that services will be provided with reasonable care and skill, which could limit the participants' recourse if the service provider fails to meet basic safety or service standards.
