General waiver templates
Not every business fits a neat category. A general-purpose waiver gives you the core building blocks — voluntary participation, an acknowledgement of the activity's risks, a release for ordinary negligence, emergency contacts, and consent — that you can tailor to whatever your business actually does. Start here when the specific industry templates don't quite match, then adjust the risk language to your situation (and have your own counsel review anything load-bearing).

View template →General waivers — common questions
- When should I use a general waiver instead of an industry one?
- Use a general waiver as a starting point when your activity doesn't map cleanly to a specific industry template, or when you want a clean base to customise. If a closer-fitting industry template exists, start from that — its risk language is already tailored to that activity.
- Is a generic waiver enforceable?
- Enforceability depends on the language being clear, conspicuous, and appropriate to the actual risk — not on the template's name. A general template gives you a sound structure, but you (and ideally your counsel) should tailor the specific risk and release language to your activity and jurisdiction.
