liability waivers
Legal blame shields
Liability waivers are legal documents in which a person agrees not to hold another party responsible for potential harm or loss.
You sign one before skydiving, joining a gym, or letting your kid go on a field trip.
They attempt to shield businesses and organizations from lawsuits if something goes wrong: The rock climbing gym requires all participants to sign liability waivers.
