Waivers and Guardian Waivers

Pike13 allows businesses to enter two (2) waivers, an adult waiver and a guardian waiver. The adult waiver will be required to be signed by all clients over the age of majority (default is 18). Account Managers are required to sign the guardian waiver for dependents who are under the age of majority (under the default age of 18). Clients must sign the applicable waiver before they can enroll in services or make purchases. Please note, non-clients will not be required to sign a waiver for themselves.

    2. If you create an online document using text from a document created in a word processing program, be sure to first save it as text only to strip out text formatting and extra spaces (or "carriage returns") between paragraphs before pasting into the body of your online document.

Best Practice

Require a Birthdate for Dependents

Without a birthdate, Pike13 assumes the dependent is over 18 and will treat them as such for client fields, like requiring an email address, signing waivers, or accepting terms & conditions.

Warning

Creating Multiple Waivers

You can only create one (1) adult waiver and one (1) guardian waiver. If you wish, you can create additional documents as miscellaneous documents. Unlike waivers, miscellaneous documents must be sent directly to each client to collect a signature.

Creating a New Placeholder

You can create a new placeholder (auto-populated field) by creating a custom client field. You will need to make sure that you allow this field to be used in online documents. That field will be added to the list of available placeholders when creating documents.

When clients complete the field in their profile, their information will be automatically displayed in the document. If the custom field is only used for document and does not appear in their profile, clients will be prompted to complete the field prior to signing the document.  

Warning

Clients Cannot Modify Waiver Content

Clients cannot edit or fill in the blanks within a waiver. If you wish to collect additional information, you will need to create a custom field that clients complete prior to signing the waiver. If you add a check box to the waiver, clients must agree to every checkbox.

Editing an Existing Online Document

  1. Go to Settings > Documents.
  2. Select View next to the document you want to edit.
  3. Select Edit.
  4. Make your changes, select Save.
 

Best Practice

Re-signing an Updated Waiver

If you wish to have all of your new and existing clients sign an updated waiver, the existing waiver will need to be deleted, and a new one created in its place. If you only edit an existing waiver, new clients will be required to sign the updated waiver during sign up, but not clients who have already signed the older version.

Deleting the current waiver does not remove the previous waiver from showing when viewing a Client's Signed Documents. Previously signed documents and waivers will still show in that section. Deleting the waiver will reset the status to not having signed a waiver and will ask them to sign the new waiver.

Warning

Copying and Pasting Waivers

If you copy a waiver that has placeholders, delete the waiver then paste it in again, the placeholders will not be added. Placeholders cannot be copied and pasted in. Placeholders must be selected from the dropdown menu and added in to the new waiver.
