The deal, in plain language
These terms are between waivers.tattoo, a product of Tattoo Waivers LLC, a Texas company(“we”), and the shop that signs up for the service (“you”). Signing up means you agree to them. They are short because a shop owner should be able to read them at the counter; if a line is unclear, ask at hello@waivers.tattoo.
1. What the service is
A consent form your clients sign on their own phone at your shop’s own web address, the signed waiver (a PDF) emailed to you and stored for you, and a client list built from those signatures. Your first 10 waivers are free, with no card and no clock; at 10 the page pauses until you activate. We keep it running, keep the record safe, and keep adding what shops ask for.
2. Your account
You are 18 or older and allowed to sign your shop up. You are responsible for what happens under your account: who at your shop uses it, the logo and settings you choose, and keeping your sign-in to yourself. Tell us right away if you think someone else has it.
3. Your record, your rules
The form captures the fields the strictest states ask for and carries a standard consent text. You are responsible for making sure the form, its wording, and how long you keep records meet the rules where your shop operates. Your health department has the final word on that, not us. The compliance page summarizes regulations to help; it is not legal advice.
The form takes a photo of each client’s ID for your file, taken at the counter or chosen from their saved photos where you allow it. It does not check that an ID is real or that a client is old enough. Checking a client’s ID and age the way your state requires, and deciding who you tattoo or pierce, is yours. Settings you choose, such as letting a minor sign with a parent or a client use a saved photo, are yours to choose under your state’s rules.
What your clients sign is yours. We process it for you, the way the privacy page describes, and you are responsible for telling your clients what you collect and why; the form’s consent text does that in the standard case. Your client list is yours to keep in touch with, within the rules for that: the form collects the client’s consent to hear from you, and an opt-out is honored. A text sent through waivers.tattoo goes only to a client who ticked yes on the form, carries your shop’s name, and stops at STOP. Mobile numbers and text-message consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Health answers and ID photos are never marketing data, for you or for us. You can export every PDF and your client list at any time while you are a customer and for 90 days after you cancel. After that we delete what we hold. Keep your own copy for as long as your state requires; the PDF we email you at every signature is that copy.
4. Price and billing
$50 a year per shop, or $5 a month, as shown on the pricing page. Unlimited waivers, unlimited artists, the client list and exports included, no per-waiver fees. Stripe handles the card. Billing is in advance, yearly or monthly. Cancel any time; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you paid for, and we do not refund partial periods. If the price ever changes for existing customers, you hear about it by email at least 30 days ahead.
5. What you may not do
Use the service for anything other than consent records for your own shop. Collect information from a client you have no business collecting. Try to break into, overload, or copy the service. Put another shop on your account, or run the service for shops that are not yours, without their say-so and ours.
6. What we promise, and what we do not
We run the service so that a client can sign at any hour and the record is written before they put their phone away. We do not promise it never goes down; the internet is the internet. If it is down when a client is at your counter, use paper for that one and we help you enter it after. The service is offered as it is: we do not promise it fits every regulation or every shop, and that judgment is yours and your health department’s. We are not liable for losses beyond what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem, and never for indirect or consequential losses. If a client, a regulator, or anyone else brings a claim against us because of how you used the service or what you put in it, including who you served and how you checked their ID, you stand behind us and cover it.
7. Ending it
You can cancel from your account or by emailing us. We can end an account that breaks these terms, with notice and time to export your records, unless the breach makes that unsafe. If we ever shut the service down, you get at least 60 days’ notice and your full export before we delete anything.
8. The boring part
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas. If something goes wrong, talk to us first; most problems are a 5-minute email. Anything that has to go to court goes to the courts in Travis County, Texas. If we change these terms in a way that matters, the date above changes and account holders hear by email first; using the service after that date means you accept the new terms. If a line here turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands.
