A liability release waiver form is an extension of the liability consent form which is used to waive, release or give up a right, like releasing one from his/her liability for any harm or damage that may occur from performing under an agreement, or participating in an activity.
Some activities are considered potentially dangerous, and those who participate in such events, especially may be required to sign a release form, accepting that they are voluntarily participating in the activities and are aware of the dangers involved. The release is like an assurance to the party requesting the release that they will not be subjected to litigation as a result of the signing party’s activities.
