Frequently asked questions
Are electronic liability waivers legally valid?
Yes. Courts have upheld electronically signed waivers. SignOwl's audit trail provides strong evidence that the signer read and agreed to the terms, including timestamps and IP addresses.
Can I send waivers to large groups?
Yes. Use bulk send to deliver the same waiver to hundreds of participants at once. Each person gets a unique signing link. Track completion in real-time from your dashboard.
What if a participant is a minor?
Minors generally cannot sign legal waivers. Include a parent/guardian signature field for participants under 18. Add both the minor and parent as signers in SignOwl.
