Can I require customers to sign liability waivers in Oklahoma? What are the requirements?
Liability Waivers in Oklahoma
Oklahoma law does not have specific requirements for liability waivers. However, to be enforceable, a liability waiver must be clear and unambiguous, and the person signing the waiver must do so voluntarily and with knowledge of the waiver’s contents [1.1].
Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance
Every owner of a motor vehicle registered in Oklahoma, other than a licensed used motor vehicle dealer, must maintain security for the payment of loss resulting from the liability imposed by law for bodily injury, death, and property damage sustained by any person arising out of the ownership, maintenance, operation, or use of the vehicle. Every person, while operating or using a motor vehicle registered in the state which is not owned by the person, shall maintain in force security for the payment of loss resulting from the liability imposed by law for bodily injury, death, or property damage sustained by any person arising out of the operation or use of the vehicle, unless the security has been provided by the owner in accordance with this section which does not exclude the person from coverage [1.1].
Signature Requirements
Section 3-401 of the Oklahoma Statutes specifies that a person is not liable on an instrument unless the person signed the instrument, or the person is represented by an agent or representative who signed the instrument and the signature is binding on the represented person under Section 3-402 of this title. A signature may be made manually or by means of a device or machine, and by the use of any name, including a trade or assumed name, or by a word, mark, or symbol executed or adopted by a person with present intention to authenticate a writing [2.1].
