Agreeing to event Waiver in OLX form?

Options
Has anyone found a good work-around for this? We need online registrants to agree to our waiver.


Ideally, I'd love a check-box saying they agree to the waiver, but that's not possible as far as I can tell.


I've also considered a participant (or gift is fine) attribute that is a simple yes/no "I agree to the waiver" that links to the language. But, HTML is not allowed in OLX forms, correct?


Right now, I'm going to proceed with having the link available on our webpage above the form, but that seems a bit messy. If anyone else has a better suggestion, I'd love to hear it!

  • The Attribute sounds like a good idea, except that the language wouldn't be there. We have a waiver up for our 5k right now, and I think we handled that outside of OLX. Ours requires that the person both enter their name and click a check box stating their agreement. We use Wordpress. Not sure if that would be helpful at all.
  • Would it work having a sentence like:


    "By completeing this form you are agreeing to our waiver - for details see here"


    With the here being a hyperlink?

    Or if ther waiver isn't too long you could always type it in the "description" field for one of the attributes, but not ideal. 


    I agree having some HTML-abe text somewhere on the forms would be good. Have you submitted it to the diea bank?

    This is where I'm going with the idea, I think. Just above or below the form, having language like that. But legal wants an actual opt-in. So I'm thinking a yes/no that says "I agree to our waiver, found above this form" or something less awkward than that.


    The waiver is pretty clumsy - it's a hold harmless and photo release, so a bit of language. Maybe I'll play around a little with that and see how long it gets.

    Steph - 

    I am curious how this is working for you?  We are an organization that requires all guests to sign a release of liability when visiting (any one of) our location(s). We currenly use paper release forms, then tirelessly transfer the hard-to-read data into RE. I'm trying to eliminate this step and establish the online release, as well as keep tablets at our welcome stations, so guests can "sign" the release electronically, after filling out the required information.  I'm told to set up an "event" for the releases - would love your input to see what you've ended up with.

    Thank you - 

    Deborah

    I came here to submit this same idea actually. It would be great if there was a waiver with an electronic signature option. I have tried adding a Terms and Conditions Yes/No attribute, but I don't know if or how I could upload the actual waiver language. I understand that I could add that information to our website, but it would be better if there was a place within the form that I could add it. I would love to see this feature added! We have a yearly regatta so the waivers are very important.

  • We have registrants complete a permission release form which leads to the OLX registration form.

    Here’s step 1, not an OLX form:

    and this is the OLX form:

  • Thank you. That is a great solution!

     

    Happy Friday!
