Document background
The Event Liability Waiver is a critical legal document used in Belgium when organizing events where participants need to acknowledge and accept certain inherent risks. This document is essential for event organizers to establish clear boundaries of liability while remaining compliant with Belgian civil law and EU regulations. The waiver must be carefully drafted to respect both the organizer's interests and the participant's rights, as Belgian law places significant restrictions on what liabilities can be waived, particularly in consumer contexts. The document typically includes sections on risk disclosure, voluntary participation, medical authorization, and specific provisions required under Belgian law. It's particularly important to note that certain liabilities cannot be waived under Belgian law, and this must be reflected in the document's content and structure.
