Are electronic waivers legally binding?
Yes, electronic waivers are generally enforceable in most states and in most countries, and are a tool to warn people of the risks of participating in an activity. They disclaim liability by getting people to agree to assume the risk of participating in something.

The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act) of 2000 is a U.S. federal law which establishes that electronic signatures have the same legal standing as handwritten signatures, and electronic records are legally equivalent to paper records, meaning contracts, agreements, or other documents executed electronically are valid and enforceable (15 U.S.C. § 7006(5)).
