Frequently asked questions
- Are liability waivers enforceable in Ohio?
- Ohio enforces a clear and unambiguous release of negligence for recreational activities, but not for willful or wanton misconduct.
- Can a parent sign a liability waiver for a child?
- It depends on the state. Some states do not enforce a parent's pre-injury release of a minor's own claims, or enforce it only in limited situations, so the Standard release includes a parent signature only as an option.
- What is the difference between the Standard and Professional Release of Liability?
- The Standard edition is a complete, state-aware Release of Liability for common situations. The Professional edition adds longer clause coverage, schedules, and optional modules for more complex matters. You can preview either edition free before you pay.
