Yes, parties can contract out of certain tort liabilities through contractual indemnity clauses or liability waivers, provided they comply with applicable laws and public policy. However, liability waivers may not be enforceable in cases of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or where there is a significant imbalance in bargaining power. Additionally, specific jurisdictions may impose restrictions on the extent to which tort liability can be waived. It's essential to consult legal counsel when drafting such agreements to ensure they are valid and enforceable.

Contractual liability means that a party to a contract has somehow breached the contract and when taken to court will be held liable for the contract or at least for the loss to the nonbreaching party as a result of the breach. Tort is a separate type of liability that has to do with civil wrongs and gives a cause of action for the injured party.
