What is a volunteer liability waiver?

A volunteer liability waiver is a legal document that a volunteer fills out, recognizing the potential dangers in their volunteer service and is an agreement not to hold the organization responsible if they get hurt or face any harm.

What should be included in a volunteer liability waiver?

A well-drafted volunteer liability waiver should include a clear description of the volunteer's duties, a list of potential risks, the volunteer's acceptance of those risks, and an agreement not to sue the organization.

How long should an organization keep a signed volunteer waiver agreement?

While the duration can vary by region and based on specific laws, it's a good rule of thumb to keep signed waivers for several years after the volunteer's engagement, in case any claims arise. With digital waivers you don't have to worry about storing waivers and taking up space. Your signed documents will be here for you as long as you need them.

Are electronic or digital waivers as valid as paper ones?

In many jurisdictions, electronic or digital waivers are considered as valid as their paper counterparts, as long as they meet certain requirements and can be reliably stored and retrieved. We recommend that you meet with a lawyer to ensure that your volunteer waiver will cover your specific needs.
