The Waiver And Release of Liability agreement is a critical risk management tool used across various sectors in Malta where activities or services may involve inherent risks. This document is essential when organizations or individuals need to protect themselves from potential legal claims while operating within the framework of Maltese law and EU regulations. It's commonly used for recreational activities, sports events, adventure tourism, training programs, and various business operations where participants voluntarily engage in activities with known risks. The agreement must balance the rights of both parties while adhering to Malta's Civil Code, consumer protection laws, and EU directives, particularly regarding unfair contract terms. Special consideration is given to ensuring the waiver's enforceability under Maltese jurisdiction while maintaining transparency about risks and responsibilities.
