Add a Waiver or Disclaimer

Don't let your attendees miss an "important note" that you require for them to read to proceed to your event.

Add a Waiver or Disclaimer

Adding a waiver or disclaimer to your registration process allows you to ensure that attendees have agreed to any conditions required to participate in your event. When you add a waiver or disclaimer, attendees are required to confirm they understand & agree to the conditions before completing their registration. You can also add an option for attendees to disagree with the conditions and still allow them to continue with the registration process.

Disclaimer on the Registration Process

  • Go to Registration > Order Form

  • Click on Settings, then scroll down to the Checkout section.

  • Draft the content of your waiver or disclaimer

  • Turn on the toggle to Require disclaimer approval before checkout if you need attendees to agree to your disclaimer to proceed with the registration

  • Turn on the toggle to Allow Users to Disagree if you will allow your attendees to disagree with your disclaimer and still be able to proceed with the registration. Turning this on will show the second checkbox in the waiver or disclaimer.

Disclaimer For Enterprise and White Label Plans

If you have an Enterprise or White Label plan, you can create a disclaimer that applies to all events under your account, instead of creating it individually.

  • Go to your Enterprise or White Label Dashboard

  • Go to Settings > Branding

  • Scroll down to Checkout Disclaimer

Notes:

  • This disclaimer does not have a disagree option

  • If you enabled both the event level and E/Wl level disclaimers, both will show as a pop up. The event level disclaimer will show first.

Disclaimer Before Entering the Virtual Event Hub

You can also enable and set up a disclaimer, which will appear as a pop-up before an attendee enters the virtual event hub. If the attendee agrees, they will proceed to the event hub. And just like the waiver or disclaimer in the registration process, you will have the option to require them to agree before they can enter or let them enter if they don't agree.

  • Go to Event Design > Event Website

  • Select the Basic Website to edit, then scroll down to the Preferences section

  • Turn on the toggle to Show a Disclaimer Pop Up before users join the Event Hub

  • Draft your disclaimer in the content box below.

  • Tick the box to Allow users to disagree to the disclaimer before entering the virtual event if you will allow your attendees to disagree with your disclaimer and still be able to proceed to the virtual event hub. Enabling this will show the second checkbox in the waiver or disclaimer.

This is how it will appear to attendees as they enter the virtual event hub. The second option becomes visible when you enable Allow users to disagree with the disclaimer before entering the virtual event:

Note: As a default, attendees must check the box to agree to proceed to the virtual event hub. If they do not choose an option by clicking the X on the upper right corner of the pop-up, they will be redirected to the event landing page.

Check In Disclaimer in the Kiosk

If the Check-in disclaimer is enabled for the kiosk, this will appear as a pop-up in the kiosk after the check in / check in and print badge button is clicked. The disclaimer message will show and an area where attendees can write their signature. The signature will be saved in the Ticket Holder report as an image URL in the signature column.

Disclaimer Responses in Reports

To see the event level and E/WL level disclaimer responses, download the Registration Data report, you should see the responses in the Disclaimer and Wl_Disclaimer columns.

To see the signatures from the kiosk, download the Ticket Holder report, you should see the image URL in the Signature column.

In Attendee Management, you can add the disclaimer column to your view to see the responses to the event level disclaimer.
