Event Liability Waiver

An Event Liability Waiver is like a sassy bouncer for your shindig. It's a legal document that says, "Hey, I'm not responsible if things get wild and someone ends up doing the Macarena on a glass table." It's your event's protective shield against unexpected party mishaps.

Hello, savvy business owners!  If you run an event, mastermind (including online) or retreat then this is the template for you! Here are some of the key features you'll find in our Event Liability Waiver template tailored specifically for your gatherings: 

Crystal Clear Language: No need for confusing legal jargon. We've got your back with plain and understandable language that even your most ambitious entrepreneur can grasp. 

Eligibility:  ensures eligibility by setting an age requirement of 18 years or older for participants to participate in the event. 

Media Release: Participants grant permission for the event organisers to use any photographs, videos, or media captured during the event for promotional purposes.  

Online event wording: we have including some provisions to enable this Event Liability Waiver to be flexible enough to be used for online purposes.  Risk Awareness: Ensure participants fully comprehend and accept the risks involved. 

Indemnification: Participants agree to indemnify and hold harmless the event organisers from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from their actions or participation in the event.  

Release from Liability: This gem shields you from any liability if someone spills coffee on their laptop or has a eureka moment that gets a little too wild. It's about protecting your genius, stress-free. 

Slice of Flexibility: We've included a "severability" clause to handle any unenforceable bits without affecting the whole package. Just like pivoting in business, adaptability is key. 

Governing Law and Jurisdiction: The waiver specifies the applicable jurisdiction and governing law that will govern any disputes related to the event. 

As the Event organiser you do have certain duties and obligations. While this Event Liability Waiver template is a nifty tool to protect event organisers, it's not a magic wand. If you, as the organiser, display reckless behavior or act negligently—like knowingly creating hazardous conditions or disregarding participant safety—then the waiver might not have your back. Courts tend to scrutinise such situations, and the waiver may not hold up against claims of gross negligence or intentional misconduct. So, remember, it's essential to be a responsible and attentive event organiser, because even the fanciest waiver won't save the day if you're not acting with due care. 

If in doubt, remember, it's always wise to consult with a legal whiz to ensure the waiver aligns with local laws and covers all your unique business retreat needs. Let the entrepreneurial magic unfold, responsibly! 

This template is suitable for:  

• Event organisers planning business masterminds and retreats. 
• Businesses hosting corporate retreats or team-building events. 
• Professional associations or industry groups organising networking or educational events. 
• Coaches, consultants, or trainers conducting workshops or seminars. 
• Event planners arranging specialised business conferences or summits. 
• Entrepreneurship or startup organisations hosting business-focused gatherings. 
• Business development agencies coordinating industry-specific events. 
• Leadership development programs or executive training organisations. 
• Small business incubators or accelerators arranging entrepreneurial events. 
• Professional development organisations offering business-related training sessions. 

Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and the template can be tailored to suit various types of events and organisations. 

IMPORTANT
