MAKE YOUR FREE COVID-19 Liability Waiver
What is a COVID-19 Liability Waiver?
Businesses should follow the proper safety measures as required by state and local officials, and not use the COVID-19 Liability Waiver as a blanket waiver. The waivers are to limit or prevent certain forms of liability like common negligence. Gross negligence, such as failure to take proper safety precautions regarding COVID-19 infections, is not protected by this waiver.
When to use a COVID-19 Liability Waiver:
- You are a business owner who wants to protect your business as you reopen.
- You own a business that involves close contact with people and offer services that are not social-distancing compliant.
- You have reopened your business and want customers to know what safety precautions your business has implemented.
