Waiver And Indemnity Agreement

Summary

A waiver and indemnity agreement involves acknowledging risks, releasing liability, and agreeing not to sue. However, in Washington, such agreements typically do not protect against liability for intentional torts, especially involving harm to a child. Courts often rule that waivers cannot absolve responsibility for intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
