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 towing damage waiver outlines an agreement between the customer and towing 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 as a result of using your towing services. In addition, the Towing Damage Waiver will also outline the potential risks associated with having a car towed. These risks must be acknowledged and accepted by customers prior to commencing.
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 Towing Damage Waiver Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document includes a clause where the participant accepts all risks of damage to their vehicle during the towing service, potentially leading to financial loss without recourse.
- The waiver and release are comprehensive, relinquishing the participant's right to pursue any legal claims related to the towing services, which could leave the participant without legal protection in case of disputes or issues.
- The agreement's modifications are restricted to written consent from all parties, which may limit the participant’s ability to adapt or negotiate terms in response to changing circumstances.
