A waiver is a legal document or agreement in which a person voluntarily relinquishes a right or claim. This can occur in various situations, such as when someone agrees to give up their right to sue after participating in an activity, like a sports event. By signing a waiver, individuals acknowledge the risks involved and accept responsibility for any potential injuries or damages. Waivers are commonly used in activities that involve risk, such as sports, recreational activities, or medical procedures. They serve to protect organizations or individuals from legal liability by ensuring that participants understand and accept the risks associated with the activity.
