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 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.

As a daycare center owner in California, your facility must balance complex regulatory layers from the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act and State Licensing Regulations. A general waiver isn't enough to mitigate your professional liabilities. This California-specific waiver is designed to address industry risks like pickup authorization disputes and staff-to-child ratio liabilities, while ensuring your contract complies with California Civil Code requirements and AB 5 worker classification standards. By integrating robust Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk clauses, you shield your business from allegations of neglect and the financial burden of child injury claims.
Beyond the standard liability waiver sections, this template adds fields specific to Daycare Center Owner:
The core legal purpose of a Liability Waiver is to reduce or eliminate the legal liability of an organization or entity by having the participant acknowledge and accept the risks involved in an activity, thereby waiving their right to sue for damages or injuries incurred as a result of their participation.
Child injury liability
Liability waivers and comprehensive guardianship agreements clarify responsibilities and emergency procedures.
Under California Civil Code § 1550 and general state law, you can waive liability for ordinary negligence in a recreational or childcare setting, but you cannot waive liability for 'gross negligence,' intentional wrongs, or violations of law. Our waiver is drafted to maximize enforceability by focusing on the inherent risks of childcare while ensuring strict adherence to State Child Care Licensing Regulations.
AB 5 and the ABC test (Cal. Lab. Code §§ 2750.3) strictly govern how staff are classified. If you misclassify employees as independent contractors, your liability waiver might be scrutinized during employment-related injury claims. This document is designed to work alongside California Labor Code § 2922 to maintain the integrity of your center's operations and staffing standards.
Yes, per California's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), electronic signatures are legally binding. However, for a waiver to be enforceable against a minor, it must be signed by a legal guardian. Our form ensures the Signatory Acknowledgment meets California standards for informed consent and capacity to contract.
Because you are collecting sensitive health and contact info, you are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Our waiver includes language regarding data handling to help you remain compliant with California’s strict consumer privacy mandates while securing necessary medical treatment authorizations.
