Digital Waivers & Agreements for Festivals & Concerts – OtterSign
ESIGN/UETA compliant · SOC 2–aligned practices · iPad Kiosk ready
Create, Send & Collect Waivers with Ease
Launch digital event agreements in minutes with Smart Forms, multi-channel delivery, and real-time tracking.
Step 1 – Create
Upload your vendor contract, volunteer waiver, or sponsorship agreement—or build from scratch with our Waiver Builder. Smart Forms support multiple signers, required initials, and conditional clauses.
Share documents via SMS, email, QR code, or kiosk at the event site. Vendors, volunteers, and staff can complete agreements in advance or on-site.
Step 3 – Collect
Track completions instantly, with smart flags for missing signatures or incomplete fields. All documents are ESIGN/UETA compliant, tamper-evident, and securely stored.
Festival & Concert Agreements, Done Right
Paper forms slow down vendor check-ins and clutter event offices. OtterSign digitizes everything—vendor contracts, volunteer waivers, performer releases, sponsorship agreements, and photo/video consents—making your events smoother and your records easier to manage.
Each e-signature includes a complete ESIGN/UETA audit trail—timestamps, IPs, and version history—for defensibility with insurers, sponsors, or regulators. With OtterText integration, you can send reminders, confirmations, and follow-up campaigns by SMS.

“My team LOVES Otter Waiver. It made the check in process for our customers quicker. With the QR code, Otter Waiver allowed us to go contactless which made our customers feel more secure during these crazy COVID times. I love that it also keeps our business legally covered with eSignature.”

“I am so grateful for the ease and security of Otter Waiver. It is easy and intuitive to set up, easy to send to clients, and easy for them to fill out. I work in a field where time is of the essence, and having them sign the waiver before they show up expedites the process and allows for greater overall enjoyment for everybody.”
Ben White

“We have been using paper waivers since we started National Cleanup Day because of the cost to go digital. Otter’s Non-profit freemium version allows us to reduce our paper consumption with volunteer waivers and collect donations at the same. Win, Win.”
Steve Jewett

“We have been using Otter Waiver for the last few months at Astro Paragliding and The Free Kiting Clinic, it’s been liberating. No more paper waivers, improved productivity on site all with an easy, intuitive phone application. I especially like the QR code.”
Harrison Ruffin
Astro Paragliding

“Otter Waiver is better than paper waivers. Now we have a database that keeps track of who signed what when. It’s simply giving the guys a QR code or having a tablet out for them to go through and sign up before they go out and shoot or hunt. It makes life a lot easier for us.”
