What is SmartWaiver?
SmartWaiver is a digital waiver that can be signed at your location or online from any computer, tablet, or mobile device. It takes the place of a paper release form. The Newcomer’s information is automatically added to your Time To Ride® account – no need for you to manually enter each attendee.
Why is the Time To Ride Challenge using SmartWaiver?
Smartwaiver can help you save a lot of time, money, and effort, make the process of competing in the Challenge easier, and make participant data management easier, more accurate and secure for you.
Am I required to use SmartWaiver?
No, but it will save you a lot of time, money and hassle.
How can I benefit by using SmartWaiver?
- You won’t have to manually enter Newcomer data after your events (name, address, email address for every participant) in order to get credit.
- You’ll also receive a digital copy of each completed waiver. No handwriting to read, blank spaces, or errors!
- You’ll get a complete list of all Newcomers after your events.
- You may be able to forego using your own existing liability waiver since your business’s name will be included on your individual SmartWaiver. Just check with your insurance provider.
What happens if I don’t use SmartWaiver?
You’ll need to spend a lot more time on the computer after your event entering Newcomer data to get credit towards the Challenge.
I’m not very tech savvy. Can I still use SmartWaiver?
Definitely! Time To Ride will set it up for you, and your visiting Newcomers will be able to sign the waiver using their smart phones. All you have to do is show them the link.
I don’t have a computer or WiFi in my barn. Can I still use SmartWaiver?
Yes. Every Newcomer who has a smart phone can sign the waiver.
My barn gets really bad cell reception. Can I still use SmartWaiver?
Yes, if you have WiFi. You need either WiFi or cell reception to access your SmartWaiver.
Ok, I’m convinced. How do I get started using SmartWaiver?
When you sign up for the Challenge, Time To Ride will automatically create your unique SmartWaiver and send you the link to use. No effort is required on your part.
How do Newcomers at my events know how to access SmartWaiver?
Time To Ride recommends hanging a few signs or posters with the link clearly printed. You can simply greet visitors and ask them to type the link into their browser.
Do I get a copy of the completed SmartWaiver?
Yes. A copy will automatically be sent to you, the Newcomer, and Time To Ride as soon as it’s completed.
How do I make sure Newcomers at my events complete the waiver?
You can either ask each newcomer to show you the “confirmation” page that displays at the end of the signup process, or you can look in your own email account for the copy that’s automatically sent to you. It’s important to make sure Newcomers are completing the waiver so you receive credit.
What if someone at my event doesn’t have a smart phone?
You can make SmartWaiver accessible on your own laptop, tablet, or mobile device. Simply open a browser and enter your waiver’s link.
Can a newcomer fill out a waiver for their minor child at the same time?
Yes! SmartWaiver makes it very easy for newcomers to complete one for him/herself and his/her child at the same time. They’ll simply enter the minor’s name and birth date, and an individual waiver for each minor will automatically be created with mom or dad’s address and contact info.
Can a teacher fill out a waiver for his/her students?
No. Whether it’s a hard copy or SmartWaiver, all waivers MUST be signed by a minor’s parent or legal guardian. The benefit of SmartWaiver is that a teacher can send the link home to parents ahead of time, and every child whose parent has completed the waiver can participate in your event and be counted towards the Challenge.
