    Customer agreement form.

    Hello,

    I was wondering if anyone has made up a "customer agreement form" that the customer signs or initials when you pick stuff up? I plan on writing one up soon which will include indemnification (to guarantee against any loss which another might suffer, to be held harmless) and an agreement that the item that I am picking up from the customer belongs to them and isnt stolen propertity.

    Does anyone have a sample or any advice for going about this?



    thanks

    I've seen someone mention harmless forms, that must be signed before they step onto the property, but can't recall where or when or who

    That sounds like a pretty good idea. People have become sue-happy. It definitely makes sense to have customers sign a release.

    Warsaw , Ind. In the heart of the lakes, and down the street from the hotel where Al Capone stayed.

    Thanks Mechanic. That forms seem to be a customer permission for pickup form. I think I may add a little bit to it including indemnification, and an agreement that the property isnt stolen. I will have the customer sign off on it.

    As far as "hold harmless" agreements, they can HELP spread the liability but it wont get you out of being sued. Any decent lawyer will find a way around your "hold harmless" agreement. As far as the agreement to allow you to pick up items, I use the emails. I just went through that with someone today. I ask them to send me an email with what they want me to pick up, especially if they're not going to be there when I pick it up (the stuff is to be outside - I don't go in any house or building). Then I can show the police the email when they ask me what I'm doing there.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
