    You can’t sign away liability a lot of times. Contract law isn’t as simple as “they signed it!”. There are limits to what can be signed away in a contract and liability is a classic

      Yeah, but do arboristic works fall into these “a lot of times”?
      I can’t find anything particular on the internet.

        Dropping a tree on a house is covered under gross negligence which you can’t sign away, under contract law. But also, state licensure often limits further what you can sign away.
