Where this comes from

Not a sample we wrote for this page. This is the document the product puts in your account, as a draft, the moment you say what you do.

Written for your trade

Name your trade during setup — hunting guides, outfitters and lodges — and this is waiting for you, already written, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit it, or paste in what you already use.

It is a starting point and not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check.

How it reaches your account

Say what you do. Pick your trade when you set up; nothing to find or download.
It is there as a draft. The 5 blanks marked, and 2 points flagged for a lawyer.
Settle the notes, then send. The product will not send it with a note still in it.

How this works for hunting guides, outfitters and lodges

What it asks you to fill in

Read off the document itself, so this list cannot drift away from what the document actually asks for.

5 blanks in this document

business nameguest nameproperty namearrival datedeparture date

Each one is a box on the send screen, and a value your own system can pass through the API. The rest of the wording is the same for every signer.

How they are filled

Once per send, from what you already know.
Or from your own system, through the API.
Into the document, never into its wording.
What somebody signed is the version they were shown.

Page one of the Guided Hunt Waiver and Firearms Acknowledgment, as a blank copy for Example Business: the document's title and opening clauses, with a line for each blank still to be filled in. — Page one as the dashboard prints a blank copy: every blank a line, named.

Questions it can ask

Beyond the blanks, a template can ask the signer questions. These come from the product's own question library and suit this document; add them, change them, or write your own.

As the signer sees them

Date of birth
How much experience do you have?
Certification numberOptional
I am not under the influence of alcohol or any drug
Emergency contact
Emergency contact number

Each question is checked where it is answered — a date that is on the calendar, a birthday that is not in the future, an address long enough to be one — in the same words on the signing page, on the counter tablet and in the API, and the signature waits until every required one is done.

Sections. Group questions under a heading, and give a section a page of its own.
Conditions. Show a question only when an earlier answer calls for it; a hidden question is never asked and never owed.
Flags. Put an answer in front of your staff when it needs a person, such as a safety box left unticked.
Questions first. Ask them before the document is shown, and the document after.

Everything a template carries →

What a lawyer has to settle

These are the notes already written into the document, not our opinion about the law where you operate. The product refuses to send a document with one still in it, which is the point of them.

Check what a guide or outfitter is required to verify where you operate, and what the outfitter's own liability is for a client's violation.

Check whether a recreational-use statute protects the landowner where you operate, and whether it requires particular wording or notice.

SignSealer does not give legal advice and this document is not legal advice. What it does is put the questions in front of you before somebody signs, rather than after.
