Yes, even if the word "liable" is misspelled in a waiver and nondisclosure agreement, the waiver is still enforceable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word “liable” is an important word in a waiver and non disclosure agreement. However, “liable” as a word if misspelled, it would not be affecting the intent of the sentence. In this case, if the word liable is typed as “libel” or “liabel”, it doesn’t affect the intent of the meaning in this context.

As per the law term, this is called Scrivener’s Error (mostly referred as typo clinical errors that were written/typed in legal documents) and hence this does not make the contract unenforceable.
