A general release of liability is used when one party gives up all known and unknown claims against another party. For example, a departing employee who signs a general release will not be able to sue the employer if later the employee discovers a reason to do so.

A release of liability, also known as a liability waiver or a hold harmless agreement, is a contract in which one party agrees not to hold another party liable for damages or injury. These contracts are common in fields that involve some risk to property, finances, or health.

In Georgia, waivers are generally upheld. However, when the injury results from the business owner's negligence, the situation becomes more complex. Georgia recognizes that waivers cannot absolve businesses of liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

A generic form of release agreement under Georgia law for use when parties to a commercial contract are terminating or have terminated the contract (or a portion of it) and have agreed to deliver a mutual release of claims.

In the context of liability agreements, being released from liability means that you aren't responsible (liable) for personal injury or harm that results from the risks inherent as part of a given event or activity.

How Do You Write a Release Form? The first step in writing is identifying all parties involved, including the releaser and the release. Specify the activity or event in detail, such as a photo shoot, a video production, or a performance. Clearly specify what is being released, whether liability, claims, or damages.
