Document background
The General Liability Waiver serves as a crucial risk management tool for businesses and organizations operating in Austria. It is designed to establish clear boundaries of liability between parties while respecting the mandatory provisions of Austrian law, particularly the ABGB and KSchG. This document is essential when engaging in activities that carry inherent risks, requiring careful consideration of both service provider protection and participant rights. The waiver explicitly outlines covered activities, acknowledges risks, and includes mandatory carve-outs for gross negligence and intentional harm as required by Austrian legislation. It's particularly relevant for businesses offering services with inherent risks, events, recreational activities, or professional services where clear liability boundaries need to be established.
