Waiver of Damages When Moving Appliance
I have been informed by the technician that my appliance must be moved to be serviced. I understand there is inherent risk in such a movement. There is risk of damage to the machine itself, and to areas surrounding its installation, including but not limited to flooring, cabinetry and countertops. I acknowledge the technician is not required to move the appliance. In exchange for his willingness to do so, I promise to hold faultless, both the technician and Conner’s Appliance Service, from any and every liability associated with any such damage as may occur in connection with this movement.
Waiver of Damages When Working with Water
I understand the machinery that’s being worked on is connected with my building’s plumbing system, and whenever any machinery is so connected, there is an inherent risk that component failure, imperfect connections and/or other faults could result in unintended leakage and/or flooding within the building, causing significant and sometimes catastrophic damage. Except for cases of gross, clearly proven, and explicitly identifiable carelessness by this technician, I promise to hold harmless Conner’s Appliance Service, its principals, agents and employees from any and all damages, harms or liability that may result from such an occurrence. By signing below, I explicitly waive the right to any contrary claim.
Waiver of Damages from Lifting Glass Cooktop
I understand that, in lifting a glass/ceramic cooktop surface to access components below it, there is an inherent risk of breakage. The top is attached with strong adhesive, and it is not always possible to achieve separation without the surface fracturing. While expecting the technician to exercise every due level of care, I nevertheless recognize that he and Conner’s Appliance Service explicitly refrain from accepting any responsibility for these risks. I agree all such risks are mine (and/or my company’s) alone, and I agree to hold harmless and exempt from liability Conner’s Appliance Service, it’s agents and employees from any and all such responsibility.
Waiver of Damages from Failed Cooling
I understand that, like any machinery, refrigeration equipment consists of a multiplicity of complex components, any of which can fail without warning, and that any effort to service and/or repair the same carries inherent risk. Diagnoses are not always straightforward, and, even when carefully performed, repair and/or service work may involve imperfections that result in failure of the machinery to perform as intended. Such failures may lead to food spoilage, discomfort, inconvenience, and (particularly in commercial contexts) even loss of revenue as associated with cancelled or failed events, inability to service customers, etc. I acknowledge that, by undertaking to service and/or repair my equipment, Conner’s Appliance Service is not accepting responsibility for any such risks. I agree all such risks are mine (and/or my company’s) alone, and I agree to hold harmless and exempt from liability Conner’s Appliance Service, it’s agents and employees from any and all such harms.
