How to add waivers to your edition

1. What is an event waiver?

An event liability waiver is a legal document signed by anyone participating in your event that when signed, acknowledges that potential risks are involved. The document’s intended purpose is for your business to remove legal liability from an activity in which a participant willingly participates.

2. How do I add my waiver.s to my edition?

There are several ways to add a waiver to your edition. We’ll go over each option below.

2.1 Option 1: adding the waiver as a checkbox directly within my form

Step 1

In your edition, go to Setup > Forms > edit the form in which you’d like to add the waiver.

Step 2

Add a new basic field > select content or accordion field, depending on your preference > add your waiver or a link to your waiver into this field.

Step 3

Add a new basic field > select a radio button or select field > use this field for participant to accept the waiver (it will need to be a required field).

2.2 Option 2: using the “waiver per competition” module

Step 1

Head to the Store and search for the module ‘Waiver per competition’. You’ll also need to have installed the ‘Registration workflow manager’ module onto your edition.

Step 2

In your edition, go to ‘Tools’ > ‘Advanced waiver’ > Click on ‘Add an advanced waiver’ > Configure your waiver > Select the competition.s you want the waiver to be attributed to > Click on ‘Add’.

Step 3

Go to ‘Setup’ > ‘Workflows’ > Edit the ‘Registration Workflow’ > Insert the ‘Advanced waiver’ box just before the ‘Shopping Cart’ > ‘Save’.

2.3 Option 3: using the register someone else module

This module will add a new ‘Waivers and Consents’ section under ‘Tools’ > ‘Waivers and Consents’.

Options tab

• Signature - choose if you request a signature from the participant at the end of the ‘Waiver and Consents’ step to confirm their choices.

• Waivers and consents options - choose if the participant needs to scroll through all the waivers and consents before they can accept them.

• Use of the field ‘Register someone else’ - define if you’re using the field ‘Register someone else’ in the form.

  • If so, define the choices to display per competition (myself / someone else / someone else underage).

  • If not, define the default behaviour.

• Mapping - map the date of birth field from your form, and define the legal age for your edition.

Waivers tab

Add all the waivers for this edition.

When adding a waiver, you can choose for which competitions it will be displayed and you can also add conditions based on form fields, metadata, etc.

Consents tab

Add all the consents for this edition.

You can choose whether a consent is mandatory and specify display criteria based on the competition or by defining conditional logic.

Positions tab

Determine the order in which you want the waivers and consents to be displayed.

Add Waiver and Consents to workflows

Once you have created your waivers and consents, you’ll need to add them to the relevant workflows to make sure your participants see them.

Go to ‘Setup’ > ‘Workflows’ > Edit the registration workflow and add the ‘Waivers and consents’ step somewhere between the individual registration form and the shopping basket.

Repeat the process for the modification workflow(s).
