Re: [TheThinkTank] Waivers - English and French
I disagree with the idea "a waiver doesn't mean much legally." The meaning is State dependent and significant in even in the most waiver unfriendly States. You can learn more about the landscape and get some ideas herehttp://www.esixglobal.com/assets/news/ArticleWaivers.pdf. Research your local laws to ensure legal effect (Also, try checking other, established, local event websites). I strongly advise the use of waivers for participants, volunteers, rentals and 3rd party contractors.

Attached is our General Liability Waiver and Photo Release (English only). Our event includes a 1, 3, and 12 mile community ride, and is not a race. We have learned that (in the US at least) a waiver doesn't mean much legally, but most insurance companies require one to help reduce potential claims (and reduce your insurance premium for the event). We include a photo release in the form and require everyone that registers to have consented to both, or they cannot participate. We have never had any issue or claim in the past 2 years.
Hope it helps!
