This document becomes necessary when organizations provide services or activities where participants need to acknowledge and accept potential risks before participation. It incorporates key requirements from Hong Kong's legal framework, including the Civil Liability Ordinance and Control of Exemption Clauses Ordinance, ensuring enforceability while maintaining fairness to all parties.
