How to Make a Waiver Form (Free): Liability Waivers Online
A liability waiver protects your business by having participants acknowledge the risks and agree to your terms before an activity. Moving it online means no paper to chase — people sign from their phone and you keep every signed copy in one place. This guide covers what a waiver should contain and how to collect it digitally. (This is general guidance, not legal advice — have a lawyer review your wording.)
Quick answer
To make a waiver form, write your assumption-of-risk and release language, then build an online form that captures the signer's name, date, a consent checkbox, and a typed or drawn signature. OneSol's free form builder (onesol.io) lets you add your waiver text, a required agree checkbox, and a signature field, and stores each signed waiver in one dashboard so you have a record when you need it.
1. Write your waiver and risk language
Draft the core sections: a description of the activity, an assumption-of-risk statement, a release of liability, and any medical or age acknowledgments. Use plain language so signers actually understand what they're agreeing to. Because waiver enforceability varies by location and activity, have a local attorney review your wording before you use it.
2. Add signer identity and consent fields
Collect the signer's full name, date, email, and — for minors — a parent or guardian's name. Add a required checkbox with clear consent wording like 'I have read and agree to this waiver' so agreement is explicit. Ask for an emergency contact if your activity warrants it.
3. Capture a signature and timestamp
Include a signature field — either a typed name or a drawn signature — so there is a clear act of signing. Make sure the form records the submission date and time automatically as part of the record. Show the full waiver text on the same screen as the signature, not behind a link, so consent is informed.
4. Store signed waivers and share the link
Publish the waiver and share the link by email, a QR code at your venue, or a booking confirmation so people sign before they arrive. OneSol saves every signed waiver in one dashboard with its timestamp, giving you a searchable record instead of a stack of paper. Export copies for your files whenever you need them.

FAQ
Is an online waiver legally binding?
In many places a properly worded electronic waiver with clear consent and a signature can be enforceable, but rules vary by jurisdiction and activity. Always have a lawyer review your waiver before relying on it.
What should a liability waiver include?
A description of the activity, an assumption-of-risk statement, a release of liability, the signer's name and date, a consent checkbox, and a signature. Add parent or guardian fields for minors.
Can I collect waivers on-site?
Yes. Share the waiver link as a QR code at your venue so participants sign on their phones before starting, and every signed copy is saved automatically.
Do I need a separate waiver for minors?
Typically a parent or guardian must sign on a minor's behalf, so include guardian name and consent fields. Confirm the exact requirements with a local attorney.
