Would your customers sign this???

[hogjowl]

They’d see the price and think I was playing some kind of scam.

 

[Nate The Great]

Not for $119.95...

Now I've been known to do "not so bright things in my past" just ask my pops...

 

[Old Coastie]

It wouldn’t be the price that turned me off, it would be all the disclamers.

 

[Jim Pemberton]

It wouldn’t be the price that turned me off, it would be all the disclamers.

That was my point Stephen

I can't believe anyone would sign that

 

[Mikey P]

Has to be Meg.



So wordy...

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Has to be Meg.

I cannot wait for the reply to THAT one.....

 

[Jimmy L]

I guess I better raise my prices .

 

[steve_64]

Must be a vlmer

 

[Desk Jockey]

I'd answer that but I don't want to be responsible!

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I never ask my customers to sign anything but a check.

Me either
We’re both idiots

Wow, Is that how they price things in Fly-over states?

 

[ruff]

Well.....they took it a "little" too far.

But anybody (no matter how old he is, Lee, or Elmerish, you know who you are) that does not have some disclaimer to protect themselves is playing with fire. I know, I know Lee, nobody ever sued you etc. yata. etc.

But there are things out there that are not within our control and are not due to our negligence, that we could easily be sued for. I like to be protected for those. And if you are not, that's just plain.... silly.

P.S. What products are you selling them, Jim, that require such air tight legal protection?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Wow, Is that how they price things in Fly-over states?

We have a $175.00 minimum. 5-rooms we would be between $300.000 -$400.00 on average.

I did process an invoice this week for $1,200.00 for all of a vacant home. Most jobs fall somewhere inbetween.

As Dorothy would have told you Desky. Kansas is not a fly over state! So don't get so riled up.
It's a tornado vocation destination.

LMAO!

 

[Old Coastie]

Ofer, would give me your recommendations for such a form, or do you use some boilerplate form available out there?

 

[steve_64]

I have a couple disclaimers on my invoice but nobody ever signs them.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

The above form offers No protection if you are negligent.

 

[ruff]

I never ask my customers to sign anything but a check.

You're talking about your above form. Right?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I didn't post a form.

 

[ruff]

Exactly.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

When someone puts a form in front of you that repeats 10 x times:
"We are not responsible"...

You get the distinct feeling that they really aren't.

 

[PrimaDonna]

I'm not surprised they are so cheap/inexpensive. Likely hold no insurance etc cover anything that's in the disclaimers and that's why he needs them. Lol

That's the problem with "cheap" clients. They expect everything at a cheap price and rake you over the coals for any little misstep.

I'd bet this list comes out of every possible thing that these cheap customers ever tried to hold him liable for.

@Mikey P ....I can be wordy at times, but I'm waaaaay more tactful in how I present things. And typically don't phrase things in the negative. I'd never sign this. And I'd never write it.

I always get my slumlord customers to sign m invoices

 

[Lee Stockwell]

They all have a credit card. Put a big smile on your face...and get paid today.

 

[ruff]

O.K. Lee, I'll spell it out:

The ones who make the client sign a release for what is clearly their negligence are unethical and dumb. As clearly it sends the wrong message and is not likely to protect them in court.

The ones who don't protect themselves from what is not in their control and or due to their negligence, may be just as dumb.

But are likely to be fantastic dancers and tend to feel better about themselves

I never ask my customers to sign anything but a check.

When they tell me their “guy does it for $80” I automatically triple it so they’ll keep using the schmuck.

Yes, I do know what that is.
