No, it doesn't. There is no such animal as a ironclad waiver. A contract or waiver releases no one individual, group, association, company, etc. until a judge (and maybe jury") finds that it does.

I like the idea of acknowledgement of being an independent contractor. What I don't like is that signing a contract creates an agreement and like DeRef noted, the level and direction of the commitment all depends on who is reading the document.
