Digital Waiver Software FAQs
What is the main purpose of a waiver?
The primary purpose of a liability waiver is to protect your business from lawsuits by educating participants about the inherent risks of an activity. When they sign the waiver, they agree not to hold the business legally responsible in the event of injury or loss that occurs through ordinary negligence—this is a proactive step to prevent lawsuits.
Additionally, liability insurance providers often require signed waivers as a condition of their coverage.
What is a digital waiver?
Digital waivers are electronic versions of traditional paper forms and require a secure electronic signature. They are just as legally binding as paper ones. When you choose a comprehensive digital waiver solution, you’ll gain additional benefits like immediate, secure cloud storage and the ability to search for and locate a specific waiver in seconds.
Are there any must-haves for waiver software?
Yes, effective waiver software should offer more than just shareable PDFs. Prioritize solutions with features like:
- Encryption for data security—Smartwaiver follows stringent security standards, using the same encryption algorithm as the U.S. government and maintaining SOC 2 Type II compliance
- Offline capabilities, allowing you to collect waivers without internet
- A centralized, searchable database
- Time-saving tools like driver’s license scanning
- Identity verification tools like certificates of authenticity and auto photo capture, providing an extra layer of security
- Integrations with your existing booking and email marketing tools
Can I collect digital waivers at my facility?
Yes! While a key benefit of digital waivers is that participants can sign them in advance from any device, you need a backup plan in case they forget. You can easily set up a signing station with a digital waiver kiosk.
To get started, you’ll just need to configure your waiver software’s app on a tablet—then, you’ll have a streamlined, professional check-in process ready for participants. Explore Smartwaiver’s waiver kiosk features to learn more.
Can minors sign their own digital waivers?
No, minors cannot legally enter into a contract, so a waiver signed by a child is not valid under the law. Instead, a parent or court-appointed legal guardian must sign the document on their behalf.
Smartwaiver accommodates this by allowing you to format your form to include a specific "Parent/Guardian" section. Additionally, you can flag certain fields to prevent anything from slipping through. For example, if someone enters an age lower than the age of majority, they won’t be able to submit the form without a guardian’s signature. This ensures you capture the legally required adult signature.
