CoachIQ's waiver system lets you create waivers, attach them to products and forms, and track exactly who has accepted — all from one place.

## The waivers dashboard

## Create a waiver

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Tools → Waivers">
    Click **+ Create Waiver** in the top-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the waiver details">
    * **Label** — Give your waiver a clear name (e.g., "Liability Waiver", "Cancellation Policy")
    * **URL** — Link to the full waiver document. This can be a page on your CoachIQ website, a Google Drive link, a PDF, or any public URL.

    <Tip>
      Host your waiver on your CoachIQ website using [legal page templates](/website/pages-navigation/legal-pages) — it keeps everything in one place and looks professional.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the waiver">
    Click **Save Changes**. Your waiver is now active and ready to attach to products or forms.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Require a waiver at checkout

Attach a waiver to any product so clients must agree before purchasing.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the product">
    Go to **Payments → Products** and select the product you want to add a waiver to.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to Advanced settings">
    Click **Advanced** in the left sidebar of the product editor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle on Require Agreement to Terms">
    Enable the toggle, then select your waiver from the dropdown. You can also search for existing waivers or create a new one directly from here.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the product">
    Click **Update Subscription** (or **Create**) to save.

    <Check>
      **Done!** Clients will now see a checkbox at checkout: "I agree to the \[Waiver Name]." They must check it before they can purchase.
    </Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>

</Frame>

When a client clicks the waiver name at checkout, it opens the URL you set — so they can read the full document before agreeing.

## Add a waiver to a form

You can also require waiver acceptance on any form — useful for registration forms, intake forms, or onboarding flows.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your form">
    Go to **Tools → Forms** and select the form you want to edit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a Waiver component">
    In the form builder, click the **General** section in the left panel and select **Waiver** from the component list.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your waiver">
    Choose the waiver you want to require. The form will display a checkbox with a link to the waiver document.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the form">
    Click **Update Form** to save.

    <Check>
      **Done!** Anyone submitting this form must accept the waiver before completing it.
    </Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Track waiver compliance

The compliance report shows exactly who has accepted each waiver and who hasn't — so you always know where you stand.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the compliance report">
    Go to **Tools → Waivers** and click on the acceptance count (e.g., "1/200") for any waiver.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review acceptance status">
    The compliance report shows:

    * **All** — Every client in your system
    * **Accepted** — Clients who have agreed to the waiver (with the date)
    * **Missing** — Clients who have not yet accepted

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/coachiq/merzwU7Xp1gnAv8E/images/waivers-compliance-report.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=merzwU7Xp1gnAv8E&q=85&s=4ee9115b0f3289e661aa1ee827918eb6" alt="Compliance Report showing accepted vs missing clients with filter tabs and export option" width="1696" height="846" data-path="images/waivers-compliance-report.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export the report">
    Click **Export CSV** to download the full compliance list. Use this for your records, insurance requirements, or audits.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Filter by **Missing** to quickly identify clients who still need to accept. You can then send them a message through the Inbox with a link to the product or form that includes the waiver.
</Tip>

## Edit or archive a waiver

Click on any waiver in the dashboard to edit it. You can update:

* **Label** — Rename the waiver
* **URL** — Point to an updated document
* **Status** — Set to Active or Archived
* **Linked Products** — See and manage which products require this waiver

Click **Archive** to deactivate a waiver without deleting it. Archived waivers are removed from checkout and forms but their acceptance records are preserved.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I use different waivers for different products?">
    Yes. Each product can require its own waiver. For example, use a liability waiver for training sessions and a cancellation policy for memberships.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens when a client agrees to a waiver?">
    The system records who accepted, when they accepted, and how (via purchase or via form). This shows up in the compliance report and on the client's activity feed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can clients skip the waiver checkbox?">
    No. When a waiver is required, the checkbox is mandatory. Clients cannot complete the purchase or submit the form without checking it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What URL should I use for my waiver?">
    Any publicly accessible link works — a page on your CoachIQ website, a Google Doc, a PDF hosted on Google Drive, or an external website. Just make sure the link works for anyone who clicks it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does this work with guest checkout?">
    Yes. The waiver checkbox appears for both logged-in clients and guest checkout.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I see waiver acceptance on a specific client?">
    Yes. Check the client's activity feed in **People → Client Profile** to see when they accepted and through which product or form.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
