The info we need to know to set up your Release of Liability Waiver Form with Electronic Signature are:
- Your location, legally speaking – your state and country, as this affects certain terms
- Your activity – what do you sell?
- Company full legal name
- Whether you serve children (who require a parent’s or guardian’s signature)
- Your company logo (we can pull from your website – just tell us your URL)
- What should happen after the Release of Liability Waiver Form is signed? Typically they go to your website to a page like /thanks-signed – which just reassures them you have their docs and they’re all set.
We have dozens of attorney-reviewed forms on file and are in the process of building a Release of Liability Waiver Form library. Until this library is live, all paid accounts include a free done-for-you setup.
Once set up, your Release of Liability Waiver Form is 100% customizable, as easily as writing an email. We’ll get you “on the green” and setup the basics, and then turn over the keys for you to modify.
As people sign, you’ll get emailed a PDF (default settings; you can turn this off if you like and just store them all online inside SwiftCloud), as will the signer, with your branding & logo on it.
You’ll also have a shared “workroom” with that customer or client, in which you can store any number of docs, history, notes, etc.
If your Release of Liability Waiver Form contains file-upload or photos (such as a photo of themselves – a selfie!) it will also be stored in the workroom.
Below is a sample text for reference, if you do not want an electronically signable Release of Liability Waiver Form.

The above is a pretty crude example, but covers the basics. More robust versions are available, but require specifying in more detail the location, activity specifics, etc.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR RELEASE OF LIABILITY WAIVER FORMS:
- Customer Lookup (by name, phone, email) – this is built into SwiftCloud’s contact system; you can easily look up a user and verify they have already signed.
- Integration to Workflow – see below. The goal is keep customer friction & hassles as low as possible while protecting your business legally.
One important consideration applicable to Release of Liability Waiver Forms is knowing who has signed and who hasn’t. We recommend add this at point of sale, but for activities that offer a free trial, this must be handled prior to trial.
- For appointment based businesses such as dental liability waivers, chiropractor liability waivers, massage therapy liability waivers, or other one-on-one services, your release of liability waiver form can be added into your appointment booking membership system, so that signature is handled at time of booking (for new clients; existing clients should get recognized via email & phone).
- For membership type businesses such as gym release of liability waiver forms without a free trial, karate & martial arts schools, personal trainers, yoga waivers, etc. integration is best done at time of sale when the membership fee is paid.
- For membership businesses with a free trial, the best integration is to add the release of liability waiver forms to your website for people to schedule their free class in advance, which helps you manage class load and instructors. We recommend also having a tablet, laptop, etc. that walk-in customers can use as well, for when customers / students bring a friend, for example.
- For one-time purchases, volunteering, services like subcontractor Release of Liability Waiver Forms, all this should be handled at time of purchase / hire / engagement etc.
