A quick definition of lien waiver:

A lien waiver is a written document that says a person won't try to put a lien on someone's property. A lien is like a claim that someone has on a property if they haven't been paid for work they did on it. So, if a subcontractor signs a lien waiver, they're saying they won't try to put a lien on the property they worked on. This is usually done so the owner or general contractor can get a loan to pay for the construction work.

A more thorough explanation:

A lien waiver is a legal document that waives or gives up a person's right to place a lien on a property. A lien is a legal claim against a property that can be used to secure payment for work done or materials provided. A lien waiver is usually signed by a subcontractor in the construction industry to allow the owner or general contractor to receive a draw on a construction loan.

For example, if a subcontractor works on a construction project and is owed money, they may have the right to place a lien on the property to ensure payment. However, if they sign a lien waiver, they are giving up that right and cannot place a lien on the property.

Another example of a waiver is a jury waiver. In a criminal trial, a defendant may choose to waive their right to a trial by jury and instead have the trial conducted before a judge.

Overall, a waiver is a voluntary relinquishment or abandonment of a legal right or advantage. It can be express or implied, and may be reinforced by reliance or estoppel.

@jackfrost11770: Man, I watched a video summarizing the stuff I missed in Arcane. You know, all the boring mel and ambessa stuff and that shit is actually incredibly important to the lore. That stuff is all LeBlanc shit and LeBlanc is like one of the most powerful characters in league.

Yeah, LeBlanc is all about chains. She imprisoned Mordekaiser which is like way far away from arcane lore but Mordekaiser is like super black metal guy.

He's also from the Shadow Isles which would be really crazy to see in Arcane.
the creator did confirm there will be other shows based in this universe so maybe we'll see all of that stuff in the spinoffs
