Participant Waiver and Release

The general-purpose participant waiver: what the activity involves, what can go wrong, and the person's agreement to take part knowing it.

Where this comes from

Not a sample we wrote for this page. This is the document the product puts in your account, as a draft, the moment you say what you do.

Name your trade during setupoutfitters and guided recreationand this is waiting for you, already written, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit it, or paste in what you already use. It is a starting point and not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check.

How this works for outfitters and guided recreation

What it asks you to fill in

Read off the document itself, so this list cannot drift away from what the document actually asks for.

business name · guest name · date · activity

4 blanks. They are filled once per send, from what you already know or from your own system through the API. They go into the document; they do not change its wording, and what somebody signed is the version they were shown.

What a lawyer has to settle

These are the notes already written into the document, not our opinion about the law where you operate. The product refuses to send a document with one still in it, which is the point of them.

check whether a recreational-use or assumption-of-risk statute applies where you operate, and what a release may not waive there.

SignSealer does not give legal advice and this document is not legal advice. What it does is put the questions in front of you before somebody signs, rather than after.

The document

The real text, with the blanks shown as blanks and the notes above lifted out so they are read rather than skimmed past.

Participant Waiver and Release

Between business name and guest name, on date, for activity.

1. The activity and its risks. I am taking part in activity with business name. I understand that it involves risks that cannot be removed by care or instruction, including moving water, cold, weather, terrain, equipment failure, the actions of other participants, and injury up to and including death. I accept those risks for myself.

2. What I agree to do. I will follow the safety briefing and the guide's instructions, wear the safety equipment provided at all times it is required, and tell the guide before we start about any condition that could affect my safety or anyone else's.

3. Fitness. I confirm that I am able to take part and that I am not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

4. Release. To the extent the law where business name operates allows, I release business name, its owners, staff and guides from claims for injury, loss or damage arising from my ordinary participation, other than claims arising from their negligence or misconduct that the law does not let a release cover.

5. Medical care. If I am injured, I consent to first aid and to emergency medical care, and I am responsible for its cost.

6. Photographs. business name may take photographs during the activity for its own records. Use of my image for advertising needs my separate written agreement.

By signing I confirm that I have read this, had the chance to ask about it, and meant to sign it.
