The Personal Liability Waiver is essential for businesses and organizations operating in Hong Kong that need to manage their risk exposure when providing services or organizing activities. This document is commonly used across various sectors including recreational activities, professional services, and healthcare, where participants or clients need to acknowledge risks and waive certain rights to claims. The waiver must be carefully drafted to comply with Hong Kong's legal framework, particularly the Control of Exemption Clauses Ordinance and Unconscionable Contracts Ordinance, which set limits on what rights can be waived. It's crucial to note that while Personal Liability Waivers are generally enforceable in Hong Kong, they cannot exclude liability for death, personal injury resulting from negligence, or fraudulent actions.
