Streamlining Waiver Signing and Record Keeping with Electronic Solutions
Looking to limit liability for your business? Look no further than e-waivers — the modern solution for protecting both you and your customers. A waiver is a legal document that is used to release a company or organization from liability in the event of injury or loss. It is typically used in situations where there is a risk of injury or harm, such as in sports, recreation, and other activities. Some businesses that you may find waivers at include roller skating, axe throwing, paintball, go-karts, and gyms along with others. An e-waiver is an electronic version of the traditional waiver form that customers sign on electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or computers. It serves the same purpose as a regular waiver, in providing protection against liability in case of injury. However, an e-waiver offers a number of advantages over traditional paper waivers.
One of the biggest advantages of e-waivers is the convenience they offer. Instead of having customers fill out a paper form before participating in an activity, e-waivers can be signed electronically. This means customers can sign the waiver easily on their smartphone, making the process faster and more efficient. Additionally, e-waiver platforms like Booking Zone can integrate with online reservations, ensuring that customers are aware of the waiver before arriving at the facility. Another advantage of e-waivers is the ability to easily track and maintain records of who has signed the waiver and when they did it. This can be a huge time saver for businesses, as it eliminates the need to manually track and file paper waivers and they can be automatically attached to online bookings.
In addition to protecting the business, e-waivers also protect the customers by making them aware of the potential risks involved in the activity and could also be written to limit other customers from taking legal action against them in the event of an injury or death. By signing the waiver, the customer acknowledges that they understand the risks and accept them. It's important to make sure that e-waivers are written in plain language, easy to understand, and that customers can fully read and understand the waiver before signing it. Having advanced access to a digital version of the waiver gives customers more time to go through it.
Ultimately, e-waivers are a great option for businesses that offer sports and recreational activities. They offer legal protection for the business and customers, are more convenient and efficient, and can be easily integrated with online reservation systems. They are a cost-effective and user-friendly way of managing the legal aspect of an activity.

The Advantages of Electronic Signatures for Waivers
Say goodbye to the hassle of paper waivers and hello to the convenience of e-waivers with electronic signatures! E-waivers offer a convenient way for customers to sign a waiver before participating in an activity. With traditional paper waivers, customers would have to physically come to the business location to sign the waiver. With e-waivers, customers can sign the waiver from the comfort of their own homes. This eliminates the need for customers to wait in long lines to sign waivers upon arrival.
In addition, e-waivers allow customers to review the waiver before signing it. This can help to reduce confusion and ensure that customers understand what they are signing. With traditional paper waivers, customers may not feel like they have a long enough opportunity to review the waiver before signing it, or employees have to read out each point to them verbally to confirm understanding.
Another advantage of e-waivers is that they can be completed quickly. With paper waivers, customers have to physically sign the waiver in front of an employee, which can take up a lot of time with groups. With e-waivers, the process is electronic, which means that all of the customers can sign the waiver in advance without the need for any employee to give and take a paper waiver back. This makes the process faster and more efficient and customers can save the e-waiver for their records and also can retrieve it easily if they want to review it again. This eliminates the need for customers to keep track of a physical copy of the waiver as both they and the venue can have an electronic copy.
E-waivers also have the added benefit of being easily stored and retrieved, making it easy for businesses to keep track of who has signed and when they did it. This can be especially useful for businesses that need to maintain records of waivers for legal or insurance purposes. E-waivers also can be easily updated and made available to customers, ensuring that they are always signing the most up-to-date version. This can be especially important for businesses that regularly update their waivers based on changes in laws or regulations. One example would be a business wanting to add in a “potential COVID exposure warning.” They wouldn’t need to make a second paper waiver to do that. They could just add that to the current e-waiver and all future customers would receive the updated waiver.
With e-waivers, business can provide convenience for customers in many ways. From signing the waiver from the comfort of their own home, having ample time to review it, while completing the process quickly and keeping a copy for their records. This convenience can help alleviate customers’ concerns about signing waivers and make the process more pleasant for them. Businesses can easily maintain their records and update their e-waivers as often as they need to.
