liability waiver
Signed risk acknowledgment
A liability waiver is a legal document in which one party agrees not to hold another responsible for potential injuries or damages.
You sign one before skydiving, joining a gym, or letting your kid go on a field trip: The release form included a standard liability waiver.
Courts don't always enforce them, but they discourage lawsuits and signal that you're accepting some risk.
