Waiver

A waiver clause specifies that a party's failure or delay in enforcing a contractual right or provision does not constitute a relinquishment of that right or prevent them from enforcing it in the future. This provision ensures that rights remain intact even if they are not immediately exercised.

What is a Waiver?

A waiver is a legal instrument in which a person voluntarily relinquishes a known right, claim, or privilege. It serves as a formal declaration that the individual or party will not pursue any legal actions against the other concerning the rights waived. Waivers are commonly used in various scenarios, ranging from contractual agreements to informal settings, to ensure clear understanding and agreement on specific terms.

When Should I Use a Waiver?

A waiver should be used whenever you are entering into an agreement where one party agrees to forfeit certain rights or claims. Common instances include:

  • Participating in potentially risky activities: Such as sports or recreational events, where participants might waive the right to sue for injuries.

  • Settling disputes: Where parties agree not to pursue further legal action in exchange for a settlement.

  • Contract modifications: Where parties waive certain contractual obligations or enforcement actions.

Ensure that the situation genuinely warrants a waiver and that all parties have a clear understanding of the rights being waived.

How Do I Write a Waiver?

When writing a waiver, it is crucial to ensure that it is clear, concise, and legally sound. Here are the key components to include:

  1. Title: Clearly indicate that the document is a waiver.

  2. Introduction: Identify the parties involved in the waiver and the purpose of the document.

  3. Description of Rights Waived: Clearly state which rights, claims, or privileges are being waived.

  4. Acknowledgment of Risk: If applicable, describe the risks involved that justify the need for the waiver.

  5. Consideration: Explain what each party is receiving in exchange for the waiver.

  6. Signature and Date: Provide spaces for all involved parties to sign and date the document, acknowledging their understanding and agreement.

  7. Legal Review: It’s advisable to have a legal professional review the waiver to ensure compliance with relevant laws.

Example of a waiver introduction:

“This Waiver Agreement (‘Agreement’) is entered into on [Date], by and between [Party A] and [Party B]. By signing this Agreement, [Party B] acknowledges the inherent risks associated with [Activity/Event] and hereby waives all rights to hold [Party A] liable for any resultant claims.”

Which Contracts Typically Contain a Waiver?

Waivers are commonly found in various types of contracts, including but not limited to:

  • Sports and Recreation Contracts: Participants often sign waivers to release event organizers from liability in case of injury.

  • Employment Contracts: Waivers might be included for certain legal claims or rights in exchange for severance packages or other considerations.

  • Settlement Agreements: Legal disputes are sometimes resolved with a waiver of further claims in favor of a settlement.

  • Real Estate Contracts: Buyers may waive certain rights, such as inspection contingencies, in competitive markets.

In each of these contexts, waivers serve to protect one or more parties from future legal claims or obligations, fostering an environment of acknowledged risk and responsibility.

Warranty disclaimer

A warranty disclaimer is a contractual provision that denies or limits any guarantees provided by the seller regarding the quality, condition, or performance of a product or service. This clause aims to protect the seller from liability and assure the buyer that any use of the product is at their own risk, often requiring the buyer to acknowledge this understanding.

5 example clauses

Warranty of title

The "Warranty of Title" clause ensures that the seller guarantees they have the legal right to transfer ownership of the goods being sold and that the title is free from any encumbrances, liens, or other claims. This clause protects the buyer from any third-party claims on the title that may arise after the purchase.

10 example clauses

Work made for hire

A "Work Made for Hire" clause stipulates that any work created by an employee within the scope of their employment, or certain commissioned works falling under specific categories, is automatically owned by the employer or commissioning party from the moment of creation. This ensures that the entity paying for the work retains all intellectual property rights, rather than the individual creator.
