COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS

Waiver & Release System

The General Liability policy requires that the insured must maintain a system to regularly secure signed Waiver and Release forms from participants. The Waiver/Liability release forms should meet all current paper and or e-waiver state requirements. For minor participants, these waiver/release forms should be signed by a parent or guardian. Unintentional error on your part in securing Waiver and Release forms will not void your coverage in the event of a claim by a participant; however, your failure to maintain an adequate system to regularly secure Waiver and Release forms will void your coverage in the event of a claim. For your protection we recommend having your waiver prepared /approved by your legal council as waivers are state specific.
