Document background
The Event Waiver of Liability Form is an essential legal document used in Belgium to manage risk and establish clear understanding between event organizers and participants. It is particularly crucial for activities that carry inherent risks or require physical participation. The document must comply with Belgian civil law, which places certain restrictions on liability exclusions and requires clear communication of risks. This waiver form should be used before any event where participants engage in activities that could result in potential injury or loss, but must be carefully drafted to remain enforceable under Belgian law. The document typically includes comprehensive risk acknowledgments, medical declarations, emergency procedures, and data protection notices, while respecting both Belgian Civil Code requirements and EU regulations like GDPR. It serves as a critical risk management tool while maintaining fairness and transparency for all parties involved.
