What is a Release Of Liability Agreement?
A release of liability agreement is a legal agreement between two parties that waives the ability to bring action against a particular claim. One party releases liability of another party for potential damages or injuries. This agreement is sometimes known as a liability waiver, a hold harmless agreement, and an indemnity agreement, among other things.
A release of liability agreement is, in fact, a legal document that can "hold up" in court. That is, provided the document was prepared and worded correctly so that it does not violate any public policy or laws. Individual states each have their own requirements for release of liability agreements to be upheld in a court proceeding.
