Hold Harmless Agreement

Maryland

I recently attended a sports event where I was required to sign a hold harmless agreement before participating. However, I later found out that there were certain risks involved in the activity that were not disclosed to me prior to signing. I am now wondering if the hold harmless agreement is still enforceable in this situation, as I was not fully aware of the potential dangers and consequences.

Hi, It depends on the hold harmless agreement language, subrogation language (if any) what you were aware of and not before signing, as well as why you were unaware of certain risks. The duty to disclose may not have been incumbent on the venue if the sports event carried risks apparent to anyone.
