Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Are liability waivers legally enforceable in India?
Yes, if voluntary, informed, and specific under Section 10 of Contract Act. Must highlight inherent risks (e.g., “death or injury possible”). We draft court-tested waivers with video consent for added enforceability.
2. Is adventure operator registration mandatory?
Yes, under MoT Adventure Guidelines 2018 and state rules (e.g., Himachal ATSR 2020). Requires safety SOPs, certified guides, and insurance. We ensure full registration + annual compliance.
3. What insurance is mandatory for adventure activities?
Public Liability (₹50L+) and Personal Accident (₹10L per guest) with adventure rider. Helicopter evacuation optional but recommended. We tie up with New India, ICICI Lombard.
4. Can parents sign waivers for minors?
Yes, but with parental indemnity + medical history. Courts uphold if risk is clear. We include minor-specific clauses and recommend age limits (e.g., 12+ for rafting).
5. What happens if a guest ignores safety briefing?
Document via signed acknowledgment + video. Contributory negligence reduces your liability. We train staff on briefing protocols to strengthen defense.
