Document background
The Simple Waiver Of Liability Form is essential for businesses and organizations operating in Belgium that engage in activities carrying inherent risks or potential liabilities. This document, governed by Belgian civil law, serves as a risk management tool while respecting strict Belgian legal requirements regarding liability limitations. It's commonly used in scenarios ranging from recreational activities to professional services, where participants or clients need to acknowledge and accept certain risks. The waiver must be carefully drafted to exclude only permissible liabilities under Belgian law, as certain responsibilities (such as those relating to gross negligence or intentional misconduct) cannot be waived. The document typically includes detailed sections on risk acknowledgment, scope of the waiver, and clear statements about retained liabilities, all while ensuring compliance with Belgium's linguistic requirements in different regions.
