This Liability Waiver and Release of Claims (this "Waiver") is made and entered into as of 2026-04-07 by and between [company_name] (the "Released Party"), including its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors, and assigns, and [participant_name] (the "Participant"). In consideration of the Participant being permitted to participate in the activities described herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Participant agrees as follows:
The Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that participation in the following activity or activities provided by [company_name]: [activity_description] (collectively, the "Activities"), involves inherent risks, dangers, and hazards that may result in serious personal injury, permanent disability, paralysis, death, or property damage or loss. Such risks include, but are not limited to: physical exertion and strain; contact with other participants, equipment, surfaces, or natural features; adverse weather conditions; equipment failure or malfunction; inadequate or negligent instruction or supervision; the negligence of other participants or third parties; and any other risks inherent in or arising from the Activities, whether or not specifically identified herein. THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DAMAGE, OR LOSS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE ACTIVITIES, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER SUCH RISKS ARE KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, AT THE TIME OF EXECUTION OF THIS WAIVER. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has had a full and adequate opportunity to review and consider the nature of the Activities and the risks described herein, and the Participant's assumption of risk is made knowingly, voluntarily, and without coercion or duress of any kind.
In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, the Participant, on behalf of the Participant and the Participant's heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, assignees, and next of kin, hereby FOREVER RELEASES, WAIVES, DISCHARGES, AND COVENANTS NOT TO SUE [company_name], its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, volunteers, affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Released Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), and judgments of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, that the Participant now has, has ever had, or may hereafter have against the Released Parties, arising out of, connected with, or in any way related to the Participant's participation in the Activities, including but not limited to claims arising from the negligence (whether active or passive), gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the Released Parties, or from any defect or dangerous condition of the premises, facilities, or equipment used in connection with the Activities (collectively, the "Released Claims"). This release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by applicable law.
The Participant agrees to INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS [company_name] and the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) brought by or on behalf of the Participant, the Participant's heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, assignees, next of kin, or any third party, arising out of, connected with, or in any way related to the Participant's participation in the Activities, including but not limited to any claims arising from the Participant's own negligence, breach of this Waiver, or violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation. This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of this Waiver.
The Participant hereby authorizes [company_name] and its employees, agents, and representatives to obtain or provide emergency medical treatment for the Participant in the event of an injury, illness, or medical emergency arising during or in connection with the Participant's participation in the Activities, including but not limited to first aid, CPR, transportation to a medical facility, and any other emergency medical care deemed necessary by medical professionals or by [company_name] personnel. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant shall be solely responsible for all costs, fees, and expenses associated with any such medical treatment, including emergency transportation, hospitalization, surgery, and any follow-up care. The Participant releases the Released Parties from any and all liability arising from the provision of, or failure to provide, emergency medical treatment.
The Participant hereby acknowledges and represents that: (a) the Participant has carefully read this Waiver in its entirety and fully understands its terms and conditions; (b) the Participant is aware that this Waiver constitutes a legally binding contract and a complete release of all liability owed to the Participant by the Released Parties; (c) the Participant has signed this Waiver freely, voluntarily, and without coercion, duress, or undue influence of any kind; (d) the Participant is at least eighteen (18) years of age and is legally competent to enter into this Waiver; (e) the Participant has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of the Participant's choosing before executing this Waiver and has either done so or has voluntarily elected not to do so; (f) no oral representations, statements, promises, or inducements apart from the terms set forth in this Waiver have been made to the Participant; and (g) the Participant intends this Waiver to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.
This Waiver shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which [company_name] maintains its principal place of business, without regard to any conflict of laws principles that would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. In the event that any dispute arises under or in connection with this Waiver, the Participant irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the jurisdiction of [company_name]'s principal place of business, and the Participant hereby waives any objection to such jurisdiction or venue, including any objection based on inconvenient forum. If any provision of this Waiver is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Waiver, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This Waiver constitutes the entire agreement between [company_name] and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and representations, whether written or oral.
The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Cleaning Company's liability for any and all property damage, whether actual or alleged, including but not limited to damage to surfaces, fixtures, or personal belongings, shall be limited to the lesser of the cost of repair or replacement, or the limits of the Cleaning Company's insurance coverage. Furthermore, while the Cleaning Company conducts thorough employee background checks and may obtain janitorial bonds, the Client understands and agrees that claims of theft must be reported within twenty-four (24) hours of service completion and are subject to investigation and the terms of any applicable bond. This limitation is consistent with the general principles of contract law in California, requiring clear definition of scope and liability.
The Client acknowledges that cleaning services involve the use of various chemicals, cleaning agents, and equipment, and that the Cleaning Company strives to use products that comply with environmental standards as per Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Guidelines and Cal-OSHA safety regulations for worker protection. The Cleaning Company shall not be liable for any damage or adverse reactions to non-standard or unusual surfaces, finishes, or materials not disclosed by the Client prior to the commencement of service, or from the Client's own provided chemicals or equipment. The Client must disclose any specific sensitivities or requirements regarding cleaning products or methods prior to service.
To the extent that the Cleaning Company contracts with independent contractors, the Client acknowledges that the Cleaning Company endeavors to comply with California Labor Code §§ 2750.3 and 3351 (AB5) regarding worker classification. This waiver pertains solely to the relationship between the Cleaning Company and the Client, releasing liability from the Client to the Cleaning Company for specified risks during service provision, and does not alter or reclassify the employment status of individuals working for the Cleaning Company.

A robust Liability Waiver is essential for cleaning companies in California to navigate complex legal landscapes. It protects your business from potential claims related to property damage, theft, and worker-related incidents, helping you comply with Cal-OSHA, CCPA, and uphold the intent of AB5.
This waiver specifically addresses common liabilities for cleaning companies, including property damage, theft claims (mitigated by clear contractual terms and employee bonding), and issues arising from chemical exposure, ensuring compliance with Cal-OSHA guidelines.
California's AB5 (Cal. Lab. Code §§ 2750.3 and 3351) reclassifies independent contractors. While this waiver primarily covers client-facing liability, proper worker classification is critical. This document helps ensure contractual clarity in client relationships, indirectly supporting good practices to avoid misclassification disputes.
The waiver focuses on liability release, but it's drafted with awareness of California's legal environment. For data handling and privacy, your business should also ensure separate CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.) compliant practices regarding client information collected during service operations.
An indemnification clause is crucial because it requires the client to protect your cleaning company from any third-party claims arising from their property or actions during the service. This further shields your business in the event of unforeseen incidents. In California, ensuring such clauses are clear and reasonable is key for enforceability.
