Document background
The Release Of Liability Agreement serves as a critical risk management tool in various business and personal contexts under Belgian law. This document is essential when activities or services involve inherent risks and parties wish to establish clear boundaries of liability. It's commonly used in recreational activities, professional services, property usage, and event participation. The agreement must carefully balance the interests of both parties while adhering to Belgian legal requirements, including mandatory provisions from the Belgian Civil Code and consumer protection laws. Important considerations include the non-waivability of certain rights, limitations on releases involving intentional acts or gross negligence, and specific requirements for consumer contracts. The document typically includes comprehensive details about the activities covered, specific risks involved, and clear acknowledgments of understanding by all parties.
