Hey,
We just had our first news story done and we are swamped with donated
bikes, before we are even done doing the shop fit-up. In addition to
this, our local police dept. has donated 200 bikes that they want
picked up this weekend. In order to process this many bikes to fit in
our smallish space, we need to break most of them down, recycle the
junk, and get organized fast. We will be asking the community as a
whole to come help us tear these bikes down over the weekend and need
to make sure we are covered legally from anything happening in the
shop. In addition to getting our insurance squared away, we would like
to have a liability waiver to sign, maybe in conjunction with our
work-trade sheets that every volunteer fills out to account for hours.
Does anyone have a good liability waiver that they wouldn't mind
posting to the wiki or emailing me a copy of? We don't really have
time to find a lawyer before we need the waiver.
Thanks,
Andrew

Congrats on all the bikes!!
Omar at PEDAL recently sent us 2 examples of their consent form but I wouldn't want to distribute or post to the wiki without permission. Perhaps they would allow me to upload them making sure credit is given as due?
It makes sense to start a waiver/permission slip category on the Wiki, though I'm not sure of the most appropriate place for it (insurance?? legal??). Anyone with the documents to share could upload them to that page for everyone to see.

Wondering if you ever got those copies of the waiver up? We're opening our shop here in portland this saturday and want to have one for members to sign. Also, wondering how many shops have liability insurance? We were told that sometimes its more dangerous to have, because you'll be more likely to be sued if you have assetts to sue for. With no insurance, we have no money to give... comments? -A @Bikefarm

I have uploaded our 2 forms, for adults and minors. You will need to fill in your information. The files are Microsoft Word Documents but can be edited using OpenOffice which is free.
