    Frequently asked questions

    Are liability waivers enforceable?

    In most states, clearly written waivers of ordinary negligence are enforceable for adults, but no waiver covers gross negligence or willful misconduct, and rules for minors vary significantly by state. This template is written to be as broad as your state allows.

    Can I collect waivers from a whole group at once?

    Yes. With SignSimple you can create a standing signing link for the waiver and share one URL. Each participant fills in their name, signs, and gets their own copy, and you see every signed waiver on your dashboard.

    Does it work for participants under 18?

    The template includes a parent or guardian signature block and states that the guardian agrees on the minor's behalf. Note that some states limit a parent's ability to waive a minor's claims.

    Is an electronic signature on a waiver valid?

    Yes. Electronic signatures on waivers are legally valid in the U.S., and each SignSimple waiver carries a timestamped audit certificate showing exactly who signed and when.
