Your waiver

Your gym can ask every member to agree to your own waiver. New members see it when they join, and everyone can read it any time from their portal.

Before you turn it on: a member who hasn't agreed to the current version can't book, pay or use the portal until they do. They see the waiver the next time they open the portal and can carry on as soon as they agree. They can still cancel a membership from that screen without agreeing, with Cancel a membership instead.

Add your waiver

1. Open Settings in the menu and find the Waiver card.
2. Turn on the switch next to Waiver.
3. Paste your waiver into Waiver text. It is plain text, not a file upload, so paste the wording itself.
4. Tap Save Waiver. The switch takes effect only when you save.

The first save becomes version 1, and the card then shows Currently version with the date it last changed.

If the switch is off when you save, Shindo saves the text and says The waiver is off, so families aren't asked to sign it. Nobody is asked to sign until you turn the switch on and save again.

The waiver can be up to 50,000 characters long.

Make everyone sign again

Editing the text does not on its own ask anyone to sign again. That way a typo fix doesn't lock out your members. When the change matters:

1. Edit Waiver text if you need to.
2. Tick Ask every member to agree again. You can tick it even if the text hasn't changed, for example for a yearly re-sign.
3. Tap Save Waiver. Shindo saves a new version and says Members will be asked to agree again.

From then on, each member is asked to agree to the new version the next time they open the portal.

Turn it off

Turn off the switch and tap Save Waiver. Members are no longer asked to agree, and the card says the waiver is off.

What it doesn't do

• No list of who has signed. Shindo records each member's agreement, but there is no screen in the admin pages that shows who has or hasn't signed.
• No PDF or file upload. The waiver is text only.
• No separate waivers per plan or class. There is one gym waiver. Events have their own waiver box (see Event waivers and paper waivers).
