Episode 52: Creative Legal for Your Customer Agreements

If you are in a business that offers any type of service where an individual could be harmed or hurt, I am sure you are familiar with waivers. In fact, I am sure you have to deal with waivers all the time. You are always looking for a good way to handle your waivers. A good way to store your waivers. And a good way to make them work for you when you need them. There are apps and all kinds of options available for your waivers.

But, that isn’t the big picture. The waiver is only a small part of the relationship between your business and a customers. The waiver only helps you if something happens to them when they are using your facilities or services. The waiver makes sure they understand the inherent risks and dangers and that they are not doing anything or on anything that could create an issue. It is about informed consent. It protects you if they are harmed because of something they did. This is a moving part.

BUT, so often that is where businesses stop in the contractual relationship with the customer.

I see a lot of businesses do what their industry does when it comes to legal. And that can be good. At least, it can be a good start. In some instances, the industry standard legal things that you see aren’t all that is there, it is just what everyone notices.

In this episode, we will discuss how to go deeper and think about creative legal. We will discuss how to plan to go a little further in your legal than the obvious and how, with some creativity, you can make sure your business is protected without overburdening your sales system.

In this 16 minute episode, we discuss:

  • How to think deeper about the legal needs of your business
  • How industry standards are an opportunity to take control of your legal
  • How creative legal can help you protect your business
  • What types of issues you may need to consider in your business
  • Why it is important to go deeper in your business planning to protect your business for growth
