Liability Waivers in Oregon
In Oregon, it is generally possible to require customers to sign liability waivers, but there are certain requirements that must be met.
According to Oregon law, a liability waiver is enforceable if it is clear and unambiguous, and if it specifically refers to the activity or service for which the waiver is being signed [1.1]. Additionally, the waiver must not violate public policy or any statute [1.1].
It is important to note that liability waivers are not always effective in protecting a business from liability. In some cases, a court may find that the waiver is unenforceable if it is found to be unconscionable or if it violates public policy [1.1].
Therefore, it is recommended that businesses consult with a lawyer to ensure that their liability waivers comply with Oregon law and provide adequate protection.
[1.1]: Section 735.355
