FAQ
High-level answers for pool hosts and property owners.
Can guests sign before they arrive?
Yes. Share the waiver link in advance so most signing is complete before the event starts.
Can I use this for recurring pool access?
You can organize records in your dashboard and reuse a consistent workflow across multiple events.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests sign online from a phone, tablet, or laptop with no downloads required.
Can a parent sign for a child?
Yes. When the participant is a minor, the waiver collects the parent or guardian's name and a separate guardian signature. Whether a parent can waive a child's claims varies by state, so read can minors sign liability waivers before relying on one.
Does a signed waiver replace insurance?
No. A waiver records that someone understood and accepted the risks. It does not pay for an injury or damage. Most hosts use both, and a waiver's strength depends on its wording and your state's law.
