Document Overview
A waiver is a legal document which protects someone who wants to reduce their risk of liability. Reducing liability is important for businesses (ie. franchisees), especially those that facilitate risk-related activities.
A car wash damage waiver outlines an agreement between the customer and car wash business to waive and release liability. This agreement waives the right of the customer to sue your business if any damage or loss were to occur to their vehicle as a result of using your car wash services. In addition, the document will also outline the potential risks associated with a car wash. These risks must be acknowledged and accepted by customers prior to commencing.
It’s important to remember that there are some exceptions to the release of liability. You won't be protected by a waiver if an incident is caused by some forms of negligence or misconduct on behalf of your business. It is highly recommended that all waivers be reviewed by a lawyer.
