New to online liability waivers? No problem!
We’ve rounded up some of the most common queries about why and how you can use an online waiver solution, to help you get started.
What purpose does an online liability waiver actually serve?
An online liability waiver serves the same purpose as its paper-based predecessor: it helps you reduce liability for risks outside your control while you deliver a service or experience. So if you run tours, adventure activities, medical services, health and beauty treatments, or similar experiences, you’ll likely ask customers to sign a waiver before they start.
An online waiver solution simply moves this process onto a screen, so participants can view and sign from anywhere, on their phone or any other device. As the provider, you can store and access all your waiver data in a secure online database. Plus, you can use the waiver process to gather useful guest insights, like allergies, sensitivities, and referral sources.
Can someone sign a waiver electronically? Is this legal?
Absolutely. As long as your jurisdiction recognises electronic signatures as a valid way to execute agreements, a secure waiver solution like Wherewolf is an ideal way to gather waiver signatures for your business.
How do I send an online liability waiver securely?
The right system makes this simple. With Wherewolf, for example, you can send guests a link via email or SMS ahead of time, taking them straight to a secure waiver form. Or, when guests arrive, you can have them scan a branded QR code or use your custom-branded waiver app. Either way, your Wherewolf database updates securely as each waiver comes in.
You can also integrate Wherewolf with your tour or activity reservation system, so it automatically sends out waiver links for every new booking.
Can you use a liability waiver template?
Plenty of free liability waiver templates exist online, and they can give you a starting point for inspiration. That said, we’d always suggest speaking with your legal advisor to make sure your waiver is clear, specific, and covers the key risks of the service you provide.
How do you keep track of signed online waivers?
Fortunately, this is easy with a tool like Wherewolf. Guest data flows straight into your online database, where you can quickly spot details like preferences or allergies. You can even let guests check themselves in, then check themselves out as they leave, using Wherewolf’s Active Dashboard, so you always know who’s still onsite.
How do you create an online waiver?
Creating your first online liability waiver couldn’t be simpler. Sign up free for a Wherewolf Lite account, and the dashboard guides you through building your first waiver form. Or, request a free demo, and we’ll walk and talk you through the process directly. Either way, you’ll soon be sending out clear, professional liability waivers online.
