Set up and manage an online waiver
Updated this week

The online waiver is a liability release that all clients must agree to either upon registration or when booking your services for the first time. By default, the online waiver is disabled and empty.

Your clients (or their guardians) can sign the online waiver by writing their name in the signature box using a mouse or signature pad connected to your computer. To view our recommended signature pad, see Purchasing hardware from WellnessLiving.

If a client hasn’t signed the waiver and you have the Require clients to agree to the online waiver upon registration option set to ON, or if a client hasn’t signed a required contract, the client will be prompted to do so when they sign in to the Achieve Client App or Client Portal. The client must sign the document to continue using the app.

Alternatively, if you enable the Require clients to agree to the Liability Release only when booking services business policy, clients will be prompted to sign the waiver when they attempt to book a service and must sign the document before they can complete the booking.

Key tips before you begin

  • If you update your online waiver, all clients that previously accepted your online waiver will be prompted to accept the updated version.

  • Waivers and contracts that have been signed by a client can’t be deleted from their profile.
