Blah, blah, see a lawyer, blah, blah.

I've seen the sample liability release form that yours is based on. It's loosely appropriate for a pickup soccer game rather than a business internship. And your modification of it doesn't make it any better.

You should specifically Google "internship liability waiver" for examples that more closely match the need you're describing. There are many better documents out there to base yours on.

What @mraikes said. But if you do the front end work very thoroughly you've limited the risk a lot. The second one you found is much better. Another item to mention. We all know what kind of things we can find on a computer. And a minor seeing pr0n could have some serious consequences if the wrong people found out. So if you are using minors make sure you do the initial check prior to turning it over.

When I worked at CompUSA management could care less. But I made sure to do a quick check, every time I was working. Sure enough, one machine had a well know pr0n movie in the opti drive.

Liability Wavers are not worth the paper they are written on.

Talk to your insurance agent as well. Bringing on an unpaid intern will likely cause a major increase in rates. And what happens if said intern formats a drive by mistake, or drops a PC, or worse slips and falls on your floor?
